Turntable Mold Handling Systems

Designed for the efficient handling of flaskless green sand molds.

Cooling times up to 30 minutes

• 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
• Cooling continues for one more rotation of the table
• Molds are discharged to a shake-out or cooling belt

Key Features:

• Efficient Handling of Green Sand Molds: Designed specifically for flaskless green sand molds, providing efficient handling and cooling capabilities for high-performance foundries.
• Cooling Time: Molds are cooled for up to 30 minutes, ensuring optimal cooling for each mold while reducing production times.
• Automatic Weight and Jacket Setting: Weights and jackets are automatically set on the molds, ensuring precise cooling control for consistent results.
• Automated Pouring and Cooling Cycle: After pouring, the cooling cycle begins immediately, and molds are indexed automatically to the next stage, ensuring smooth operation.
• Rotating Table System: Molds are placed on a rotating table that continues to index, completing one full revolution for each cooling cycle.
• Weight and Jacket Stripping: After cooling, the weights and jackets are automatically stripped off, allowing for easy and efficient mold processing.
• Elevating and Pushing Molds to Level 2: Once the molds complete their first cooling cycle, they are elevated and pushed onto Level 2 for additional cooling.
• Continued Cooling: The molds continue cooling for one more rotation on the second level, ensuring consistent cooling during the entire cycle.
• Final Discharge: After the cooling process is complete, the molds are discharged either to a shake-out system or a cooling belt for further processing.

Benefits:

• Efficient Cooling: The dual-level system provides efficient cooling for flaskless green sand molds, improving cycle times and mold quality.
• Automatic Mold Handling: Weights, jackets, and mold indexing are all automated, which enhances operational efficiency and reduces manual labor.
• Space-Saving Design: The dual-level system maximizes space by utilizing two levels for mold cooling, making it ideal for facilities with limited floor space.
• Quick Cooling Cycle: Cooling times of up to 30 minutes are optimized for fast production, allowing for more molds to be processed within a given time.
• Reliable Shake-Out System: The cooled molds are easily discharged into either a shake-out system or a cooling belt, ensuring smooth and efficient mold handling.
• Scalability: The system can handle a wide variety of mold sizes and volumes, making it adaptable to the needs of different foundries.

Applications:

• Green sand casting operations
• Efficient cooling and handling of molds in flaskless mold systems
• Foundries requiring quick and effective mold cooling
• High-performance casting systems that need automated mold cooling
