Short Description:
MOVABLE RESIN SAND MOLDING SYSTEM
The movable resin sand molding system is a sophisticated manufacturing setup used in the foundry industry for creating molds and cores for metal casting.
This system is highly efficient and versatile, allowing for the production of high-quality castings with complex geometries. Here’s an overview of its components, process, and benefits:
1. Components & acts:
Sand Mixer:
Mixes resin and sand to create the molding material.
Ensures uniform coating of resin on sand particles for optimal binding.
Molding Machine (Swing table):
Shapes the mixed sand into molds using patterns.
Can be automated for precision and repeatability.
Pattern Plates:
Used to shape the sand mold.
Can be easily changed to produce different mold designs.
Curing System:
Cures the resin in the molding sand to harden the mold.
Can use catalysts, or other curing methods depending on the resin type.
Movable Carriage or Conveyor:
Transports the molds through different stages of the molding process.
Enhances flexibility and reduces manual handling.
Mold Handling Equipment:
Includes lifting devices, conveyors, and robotic arms for moving molds.
Increases efficiency and safety in mold handling.
2. Operation Process
Mixing:
Resin and sand are mixed in the sand mixer to create a homogeneous mixture.
Molding:
The sand-resin mixture is shaped into molds using the pattern plates.
Molds are formed either by hand or automatically, depending on the system.
Curing:
The formed molds are cured to harden the resin.
This can be done using chemical catalysts, or other curing methods.
Mold Handling:
Cured molds are moved using the movable carriage or conveyor to different stations (e.g., cooling, coating, assembly).
Casting:
Molten metal is poured into the molds to create the final cast parts.
The molds are then allowed to cool and solidify.
Shakeout:
After cooling, the molds are broken to retrieve the cast parts.
The sand is typically recycled and reused in the process.
3. Advantage:
Flexibility:
The movable system allows for easy adaptation to different casting requirements and quick changeover of patterns.
Efficiency:
Automating the process reduces manual labor, increases throughput, and ensures consistent quality.
Precision:
Automated molding and curing processes improve the accuracy and surface finish of cast parts.
Reduced Waste:
Reusable sand and precise resin usage minimize material waste and reduce costs.
Safety:
Reduced manual handling of molds improves worker safety.
