Sand Molding at
Winner Foundries
and Manufacturing, Inc.
|
|
High quality castings depend on quality patterns,
uniform and properly mixed sand, and high grade pouring
metals heated to the proper temperature.
Winner Foundries exercises all possible control to
maintain high standards on casting beginning with the
sand, which is tumbled, fluffed, aerated and moisturized in a
fully automated Muller machine. When the proper
mixture has been achieved, the sand is delivered to the
five molding stations through an overhead conveyor system.
At the stations it is used to individually pack and set
each flask, thereby making the mold to be poured.
|
Flasks (molds) are placed on a track at the assembly station
in-line to the furnaces. Furnaces and the
temperature of the molten metal are controlled to
± 1 degree Celsius through the use of digital
pyrometers. The molten metal is delivered to the
assembly station by an overhead system and
poured into the molds. Immediately after
cooling the molds are opened and the casting is
extracted and stacked for finishing. Each
casting is spot checked for faults,
deposits and porosity.
