Exhaust Manifolds, Vanes and Volutes, Small Molds,
Pump Components, Machine Base Components. Below are
pictured a few samples from the no bake version of
the CM-25 CoreMaker.
Benefits
- High Productivity
with Amazing Simplicity
- Available for air
setting or cold box binder
systems
- Works great with
wooden dump boxes, shell tooling, cold box
tooling. Ideal for low volume work blown core
work, for replacing oil sand core making
systems, where shell cores require too much
setup time for order quantity, and where shell
tooling is too expensive.
- Simple, Rugged
Design
- Does not require intricate venting
in the no bake version.
- No scrubber
required with air setting binders
- Ideal for small to
mid-sized jobbing foundries
- Blow cores and
make molds with the same machine with optional
swivel mixer.
- Dual resin
systems available to make no bake and cold box
cores with one machine.

Components
Overview
Primary
Fabrication - The CoreMaker is designed around
a backbone of heavy-walled steel tubing. Absolute
machine rigidity was designed in to the COREMAKER.
With full clamping pressure, the machine will not
flex. The blowing area is completely enclosed to
minimize blown sand and safety issues generally
associated in blown core areas.
Blow Chamber
- The heart of the COREMAKER is its blow chamber.
Specially designed for use with air setting
binders, the blow chamber's unique geometry
prevents sand and resin buildup within. Super
heavy construction ensures long life. Unit
requires very little cleaning.
Clamping Table
- The COREMAKER's clamping table is a heavy-duty,
die set typically used for stamping operations.
The unit is thoroughly over designed and features
1 3/4" thick steel plates. Two 6" bore
cylinders provide for both the motion of the table
and the holding pressure needed for blowing. Note
that a cleanout tube is located integrally into
the clamping table for easy cleaning at the end of
a blow cycle (pictured above). Unit purges into a
5 gallon pail located below the clamping table.
Pneumatic System
- The highly effective CM-Series features a simple
to operate and easy to maintain pneumatic system.
Basic, off-the-shelf solenoids control the entire
system. The unit includes a surge tank to reduce
demands on the plant air system and ensure
consistently dense cores.
Control System
- The COREMAKER is fitted with a high quality
electrical control system featuring standard OEM
components and complete control integration. A
smart relay is used to control all timing
functions. Timer settings include mixer run timer,
resin system work timer, and warning buzzer timer.
The cold box version features a PLC upgrade to
control all system operating times.

Safety Interlock
- The COREMAKER is outfitted with three safety
devices as standard to prevent operator injury. In
order to clamp the table, the unit's door must be
closed and two palm switches pressed. This ensures
that the operator's hands and arms stay out of the
moving mechanism and aid in eye injury prevention
by forcing the door to be closed for machine
activity.

cores and molds can be
produced on the left hand
side of the machine (As
Pictured). Mixers are
generally M50XL,
M100XL,
or M200XL
but any size
can be specified.
Other Options to
Consider
- Low Sand Alarms
and Interlocks
- Integral conveyor
for large or hard to handle core boxes
