Abstract
A mold frame for the production of molded pieces, comprising at least one mold cavity, the at least one mold cavity being defined by a plurality of mold walls, wherein at least one mold wall of the mold cavity is a mold wall that is displaceably attached to the mold frame, and comprising at least one heating element for heating at least a part of the mold frame.
Claims17
A mold frame for producing molded pieces, comprising:
- at least one mold cavity defined by a plurality of mold walls, wherein at least one mold wall of the plurality of mold walls is a displaceable mold wall that is displaceably attached to the mold frame, and
- at least one heating element for heating at least a part of the mold frame,
- wherein the at least one heating element is attached to a back side of the displaceable mold wall between two pivot levers of the displaceable mold wall.
A mold wall system for retrofitting a mold frame for producing molded pieces, comprising:
- at least one mold cavity defined by a plurality of mold walls,
- wherein at least one mold wall of the plurality of mold walls is a displaceable mold wall that is displaceably attached to the mold frame;
- and
- at least one heating element for heating at least a part of the mold frame and/or at least one of the plurality of mold walls,
- wherein the at least one heating element is attached to a back side of the displaceable mold wall between two pivot levers of the displaceable mold wall.
A mold wall system for retrofitting a mold frame for production of molded pieces, comprising:
- a first displaceable mold wall having a mold surface which, in an operating position, is at least structured and/or inclined in part to the vertical;
- a first displacement device which displaceably connects the first displaceable mold wall to the mold frame;
- a second displaceable mold wall having a mold surface which, in an operating position, is inclined relative to the vertical;
- a second displacement device which displaceably connects the second displaceable mold wall to the mold frame,
- wherein the first displaceable mold wall and the second displaceable mold wall are arranged opposite or adjacent to each other;
- and
- at least one heating element for heating at least one of the first displaceable mold wall and the second displaceable mold wall,
- wherein the at least one heating element is attached to a back side of the first displaceable mold wall between two pivot levers of the first displaceable mold wall or to a back side of the second displaceable mold wall between two pivot levers of the second displaceable mold wall.
A method for molding pieces using a mold wall system comprising a displaceable mold wall and a mold frame, the method comprising:
- molding an object against the displaceable mold wall while the displaceable mold wall is inclined relative to the vertical;
- displacing the displaceable mold wall from the molded object;
- and
- heating the displaceable mold wall using at least one heating element attached to a back side of the displaceable mold wall between two pivot levers of the displaceable mold wall.
