During the shell building process in Investment Casting ,the prepared slurry from the slurry mixer is transferred to the slurry pot. The wax trees / assemblies are dipped into slurry held in this pot. This slurry is under continuous stirring through out its use, in order to prevent the settling or separation of heavier refractory used in the slurry.
This is a Hydraulic, 4-pillar, down-stroking, vertical clamping, horizontal injection wax injection machine, with an automated operation.
Description: The Rainfall Type Sander is a sand coating unit with a unique self-loading rotary
type of elevator. The machine is noise and vibration free.
Salient features:
a) The new design RTS is designed to generate a steady and uniform rain within the
work area, to maximize covering efficiency with minimum quantity of sand.
b) Sand Sieve: Perforated steel sheet provided below rain area sieves the unused sand
before reloading into rotary type elevator.
c) Sand Retention Rim: The rotating drum is provided with a sand retention rim which
prevents the sand rain from spilling outside the RTS.
1. De-wax: After the shell building procedure is complete, the wax within the monolithic shell is removed. The De-wax autoclave quickly and efficiently melts out the wax from the shells. The autoclave de-wax is the most reliable and cost-effective process for large production runs.
2. Minimize Shell cracks: This process of de-wax ensures that a surface layer wax of the wax tree almost instantly melts out. The shell is therefore not subjected to the thermal expansion pressure of the wax. This almost eliminates shell cracking and affords the use of thin-walled shells meaning greater economy & productivity.
The Robotic Shelling System - The automated and robotised
shell production solution for an Investment-Casting foundry.
Shelling is done by dipping the wax assemblies in a series of
ceramic slurries and coating them in refractory sands.
It is critical that this process is fully automated using a robotic
shelling system; any inconsistencies in the shell thickness and
porosity, that arises from uneven sanding or draining of the
ceramic slurries, or improper drying process can cause trouble
later in the process. Resulting in defects in the castings and
hence rejections.
Doing all these processes manually simply does not give the
precision or repeatability to perform this task in a satisfactory
manner.
RoSS is a comprehensive shell room solution, which aims to
completely replace human effort to more a efficient and reliable
robotic system.
