| Abstract |
Report of a study on energuy expenditure at various workplaces (mechanical mouldmaking, manual mouldmaking, fettling, grinding and knocking-out) in 2 steel foundries of very different levels of mechanisation. Description of the level of mechanisation, measurement techniques (method study, heart rate, spirometric findings) and results. Comparison of the results from the 2 foundries highlights the effect of mechanisation and casting size. The highest level of energy expenditure was encountered in the moulding machine operators (1790Akcal), and in the knockers-out (1560Akcal) in the older foundry. |
