Components Overview
Primary Fabrication -
The CoreMaker is designed around a backbone of heavy wall
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.
