Mold Handling

Product Description

Auto Mold Closer

Automatic mold closing from size 5 upwards. The unit is capable of closing flask-less molds of varying sizes fully automatically. Floating-table technology allow for precise closing alignment and rates. Open Design for ease of monitoring.

Carousel Molding System

For efficient use of space and an alternative to a fast loop, carousels can be supplied for stand alone applications or integrated into semi-automatic molding plants. Station designs with some sizes having options for 8-station design. Pneumatic levelling of push-off stations for smooth transitions and inclined conveyor positioning to keep patterns to the center during rotation.

Compaction Tables

Compaction tables are one of the key components to utilize when the goal is to increase the efficiency and consistency of the molding process. Available in different sizes, powered and manual rollers or designs to fit beneath existing roller conveyor. Flat-top designs for larger floor molds. Low/Hign Force levels, standard.

Fast Loop Molding System

For production of molds with varying fill times, a Fast-Loop design may be the best solution for your molding needs. Available in manual or Automated versions with sizes to fit the range of your patterns. Can be integrated with a Rollover/Draw for increased Production and Safety.

Flow Coating

For application of Refractory Mold Coatings. Whether its just a flood-coating sprayer with a fixed Catch Basin or an Automated, offline system with integrated Gantry, we have styles to suit your needs. We can even provide in-line systems to postion the molds for coating and draining before returning to level and sequencing the next mold.

Mold Drying

For Water-based Coatings, we can provide both infrared and forced-air dryers to meet your needs. Designs for both Batch and Continuous operations with sizes to match your mold surface area. IR for smaller, shallower molds and forced air for larger, deeper molds. Various fuel sources and now with electric.

Mold Manipulators

Mold Manipulator models include the E-Series (electric) and H-Series (hydraulic) ‘A-Frame’ style manipulators and our B-Series 'Beam' style mold manipulators. With size ranges and load capacities for all applications (flasked or flask-less). Options for trunion engagement but standard euipment has nail pads for pattern and mold engagement.

Pouring and Cooling

For Automated Handling of your Pouring and Mold Cooling, our systems can provide horizontal and vertical storage options for cooling and retrieval of molds for shake-out. Automated Transfer Car with hydraulic push-pull synchronized operation means simpler installation and operation. No motors or electrical inside the Pour/Cool area eliminates damage from run-outs for reduced Maintenance load. Designed with your Production rates and Cooling requirements for consistent production numbers.

Rollover

"For Repeatable, Safe Stripping of Molds from Patterns. A Rollover/Draw can automated the stripping operations while keeping the operators free to perform other tasks. With Various Sizes an Designs, we can accommodate folding Layouts. For Flask and Flask-less mold production. Flasked Mold Stripping Station. Designed to be used in conjunction with a Mold Manipulator, this section grips the pattern board while the cured flasked mold is lifted away. Requirements for pattern board thickness."

Shuttle Molding System

The Shuttle Molding System for automated production of large boxed molds with varying fill times. Provides extra time for set-up or finishing of larger molds without stalling Production. Similar to Fast-Loop but for Larger Mold sizes.
