Pouring conveyors form the foundation for automating the mold pouring and cooling section. They enable automation of:
-
Positioning molds for pouring
-
Organizing mold cooling branches
-
Feeding molds to the shakeout conveyor
-
Returning pouring plates to the molding and assembly section
The use of pouring conveyors in combination with pouring plates, transfer mechanisms, and hydraulic pushers allows automation of pouring, mold holding, and shakeout operations without the need for in-shop lifting equipment.
Description:
The pouring conveyor consists of closely spaced rollers mounted on a rigid frame. The roller system forms two movable lines, allowing pouring plates to move with minimal resistance. Load movement of the pouring plates is powered by hydraulic pushers.
