Abstract
An improved method for the production of castings is disclosed, according to which the flasks are stripped from the sand moulds subsequently to pouring the molten metal in the moulds and the initial cooling of the castings, the flasks are directly forwarded to a moulding machine, the stripped moulds with the castings held therein being forwarded along a longer cooling path on a rotating guide. The implementation is composed by two straight conveying paths connected at the respective ends by a semicircular path along the straight guide sections the stripping machines and the moulding machines are arranged.
Claims6
An apparatus for producing castings, comprising a conveyor arranged in a closed loop having at least two laterally adjacent straight sections spaced along the closed loop, at least one moulding machine located adjacent said conveyor between said straight sections adapted to form sand moulds within flasks, at least one flask loading device located adjacent a first one of said straight sections of said conveyor including means to receive mould filled flasks from the moulding machine and to load them on said conveyor, at least one flask stripping device located adjacent a second one of said straight sections of said conveyor including means to strip the flasks from the respective moulds and to transfer them to said moulding machine, a metal pouring device located adjacent said conveyor immediately downstream from said loading device in a first conveyor path from said loading device to said stripping device and a mould discharging device located adjacent said conveyor immediately upstream of said loading device in a second conveyor path from said stripping device to said loading device.
