Method and apparatus for producing foundry molds

摘要

A molding apparatus for producing foundry molds by means of molding boxes and pattern plates includes: a station for filling with molding sand one empty molding box (3) at a time, the molding box being associated with a respective pattern plate; a station for packing or molding the filled molding boxes; a carousel for supporting, two pattern plates and a single molding box at a time, at the diametrically opposite ends. An input line (2) for the entry of empty molding boxes into the filling station and an output line (5) for the exit of the molded molding boxes from the molding station, the lines (2, 5) being separate and substantially parallel. In the working cycle of the apparatus, the empty molding boxes enter the filling station along the input line and exit after molding from the molding station to advance directly along the output line. <IMAGE>
