Molding unit for the production of sanitary wares, comprising at least one support frame, at least one first portion and one second portion associated with the frame, bearing respectively at least one first molding component and one second molding component selectively connectable to each other, so as to define at least one molding cavity adapted to receive the casting of at least one pressurized fluid mixture which, once solidified, forms at least one sanitary ware. The first portion and the second portion are connected to the frame in the hanging configuration and are able to be selectively and mutually approachable in a closed configuration, so as to bring into mutual contact the molds to define the molding cavity, and mutually movable away from each other in an open configuration to allow the removal of the sanitary ware once formed. At least the first portion comprises clamping means selectively movable from an inactive position, corresponding to said open configuration, to an operating position, corresponding to said closed configuration, in which they act on at least one abutment zone provided in the second portion.
A molding unit (1) for the production of sanitary wares, comprising at least one support frame (2), at least one first portion (3) and one second portion (4), associated with said frame (2), bearing respectively at least one first molding component (5) and one second molding component (6) selectively connectable to each other, so as to define at least one molding cavity (7) adapted to receive the casting of at least one pressurized fluid mixture which, once solidified, forms at least one sanitary ware (8), said first portion (3) and second portion (4) being connected to said frame (2) according to a hanging configuration and being able to be selectively and mutually approached in a closed configuration, so as to bring into mutual contact said molds (5,6) to define said at least one molding cavity (7), and mutually movable away from each other in an open configuration to allow the removal of the sanitary ware (8) once formed within said cavity (7), wherein at least said first portion (3) comprises clamping means (9) selectively movable from an inactive position, corresponding to said open configuration, to an operating position, corresponding to said closed configuration, in which they act on at least one abutment zone (10) of said second portion (4) and corresponding to at least one junction surface between said first molding component (5) and said second molding component (6) in said closed configuration.
The molding Unit unit according to laim 2, in which said elastic means (25) comprise elastomeric bushings or other types of elastic coupling.
A line for the molding of sanitary wares (8), comprising a support frame (2) provided with at least one horizontal structure (11), a plurality of molding units (1) according to any one of the preceding claims, connected to said horizontal structure (11) according to a hanging configuration and side by side each other, and pressure means provided at the ends of said horizontal structure (11), which act on flat elements (18) of the molding units (1) which are found at the ends of said plurality, so as to retain said molding units (1) in the respective closed configurations in which they delimit the respective molding cavities (7).
