Turntable Mold Handling Systems

Designed for the efficient handling of flaskless green sand molds.

Cooling times up to 1 hour

• Weights and jackets are automatically set
• Molds are poured and the cooling cycle begins
• Table continues to index, completing one revolution
• Weights and jackets are stripped
• Molds are elevated and pushed onto level 2, 3 or 4
• Cooling continues for up to three more table rotations
• The cooled molds are then discharged to a shake-out

Key Features:

• Efficient Handling of Green Sand Molds: Specifically designed for the handling of flaskless green sand molds, optimizing the cooling process for maximum efficiency.
• Cooling Time: Molds are cooled for up to 1 hour, ensuring they remain at optimal temperature for further processing.
• Automatic Weight and Jacket Setting: Weights and jackets are automatically set on the molds, ensuring consistent and precise cooling.
• Automated Pouring and Cooling Cycle: After pouring, the cooling cycle begins immediately, and the molds are indexed automatically, ensuring smooth and continuous cooling.
• Rotating Table System: The molds are placed on a rotating table that continues to index, completing one full revolution for each cooling cycle.
• Weight and Jacket Stripping: Once the cooling cycle is complete, the weights and jackets are automatically stripped off, allowing for quick mold processing.
• Elevating and Pushing Molds to Higher Levels: Molds are elevated and pushed onto subsequent levels (Level 2, 3, or 4) for additional cooling, increasing the cooling capacity of the system.
• Continued Cooling: The molds continue to cool for up to three more table rotations, ensuring sufficient cooling time for the molds at each level.
• Final Discharge: After cooling, the molds are discharged to a shake-out system for further processing.

Benefits:

• High-Volume Cooling: The multi-level system can accommodate high volumes of molds, making it ideal for large-scale casting operations.
• Efficient Cooling Process: Continuous cooling for up to an hour with multiple levels of cooling ensures that molds are sufficiently cooled before discharge.
• Automatic Mold Handling: Weights, jackets, and mold indexing are all automated, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing operational efficiency.
• Compact Design: The multi-level system maximizes available space while providing efficient cooling and mold handling across several levels.
• Optimized Cooling Time: Cooling time is adjustable based on mold specifications, ensuring that molds receive adequate cooling time at each stage.
• Robust Shake-Out System: The cooled molds are discharged into a shake-out conveyor system for easy and efficient further processing.

Applications:

• Green sand casting operations
• High-volume mold cooling and handling in foundries
• Systems requiring efficient, automated mold cooling and handling for flaskless green sand molds
