Gefond has been providing high-tech systems for light metal foundries since 1994, mainly for the automotive industry.
In 2020, it acquired Greenbox's patent and know-how for water thermoregulators and started its own production, allowing it to be closer to customers and more flexible to market needs. Gefond designs efficient, environmentally friendly, integrated and complete solutions for the foundry industry (high pressure, gravity and low-pressure), guaranteeing better quality and lower energy consumption. Compared to traditional temperature thermoregulators, Gefond's HPDCs offer up to 85% less energy consumption, as well as lower CO2 emissions. What's more, the solutions offered are innovative, sustainable and integrated with Industry 4.0. Recently, Gefond's portfolio has also expanded to include jet-cooling equipment, which is very popular in the production of structural castings, among other applications.
The main advantages of Gefond equipment are:
- energy savings,
