About FAT
FAT Förder- und Anlagentechnik GmbH is a medium-sized, owner-managed plant engineering company founded in 1973 and based in Niederfischbach near Siegen. The company realizes turn-key complete solutions in its two business divisions, foundry technology and bulk materials technology for power plant and industrial installations. Foundry technology focuses on plants for cold resin-bonded molding materials (Furan, Cold-Box, Pep-Set, Croning, Alpha-Set), including continuous mixers, pneumatic and mechanical conveying systems, mechanical and thermal reclamation, CR separation and silo systems. In bulk materials technology, solutions are developed for ash, waste incineration materials and other bulk goods; pressure vessels and accessories are manufactured in-house in accordance with 97/23/EC (H!). The value chain covers engineering, manufacturing, control panel construction, installation, commissioning as well as service and spare parts management from a single source. An in-house test plant for thermal reclamation with 0.5 t/h capacity is available at the site for customer trials. Customers come from industries such as foundry, combustion plants, building materials, glass, coking, steel, cement, chemicals and automotive; the company delivers worldwide.

Molding materials and processes
Cold resin sand (Furan)
Organically bonded molding material for mechanical and thermal reclamation of foundry sand.
Cold resin sand (Cold-Box)
Molding material system for which FAT realizes reclamation and circulation systems.
Cold resin sand (Pep-Set)
Molding material system within the range of cold resin-bonded plant solutions.
Cold resin sand (Croning)
Molding material system that can be thermally reclaimed.
Cold resin sand (Alpha-Set)
Molding material system for reclamation and circulation.
Silica sand
Base molding material; from 573°C (quartz transition), thermal reclamation facilitates binder burnout.
Thermal reclamation
Porous burner system with fluidized bed for burnout of organic binders with heat recovery.
Mechanical reclamation
Processing of foundry sand for circulation within foundry operations.
Pneumatic conveying
In-house manufacturing of systems and components for bulk material transport.
