Horizontal Flaskless Molding
Horizontal Flaskless Molding
Fast and Efficient Mass Production
Horizontal Flaskless Molding is an advanced casting technology where the casting process is carried out horizontally without the use of metal flasks. It is considered a world-class solution for reducing costs and increasing production speed, especially in automated casting lines requiring high-volume production. By eliminating the need for flask handling and storage, this system minimizes operational complexity in foundries.
Why Horizontal Flaskless Molding?
Horizontal flaskless molding machines compress the sand in a horizontal rather than vertical plane, forming molds in a sequential line. The non-graded design shortens mold cycle times and makes mold handling much safer. The horizontal plane provides significant advantages for both the operator and automation, especially in parts requiring precise core placement.
Advantages of Horizontal Flaskless Molding
Key operational benefits that increase efficiency and profitability:
High Production Speed: Since there is no grade cycle time, the number of molds produced per hour is much higher than with manual or graded lines.
Full Automation Compatibility: Complies with Industry 4.0 standards, enabling uninterrupted production without the need for human intervention.
Lower Labor Costs: Personnel requirements are minimized as the processes of degree preparation, transportation, and cleaning are eliminated.
Rapid Model and Mold Changeover: The setup time for producing different parts is very short, allowing for flexible production.
Ideal for Small to Medium-Sized Parts: This is the most efficient method for precision and mass-produced components such as automotive, valve, and machine parts.
Compact and Space-Saving Design: Because it doesn't require a separate storage area, it ensures the most efficient use of space within the foundry.
