Gravity and Low Pressure Permanent Mold Systems

Our fully automated Cast Equipment Systems deliver high yields and production flexibility. With our experience, EMI can design a system tailored to your production requirements.

EMI Low Pressure Molding Machines are fully automatic production centers for producing castings when material integrity requirements of thin-walled casting designs are required. During the automatic sequence of operation, these completely enclosed machines are able to set cores, extract castings, set gate screens, blow off the mold and present the casting to the operator for inspection. Mechanical dry cycle is designed for 75 sec/cycle.

EMI Semi-Permanent Mold, Vertically-Parted Turntables have been recently redesigned with reliability, operation and maintainability in mind to offer quality products to the automotive industry. EMI's turntable system typically utilizes five casting benches mounted on a 26' diameter, electric motor- driven turntable. This system is designed with a minimum platform height of 39", therefore no pits are necessary for installation. The mechanical dry cycle is 80 sec/station. Depending on customers' tooling package needs, a typical solidification production rate of 45 castings/hour can be expected.

Conventional Horizontally-Parted, Semi-Permanent Mold Turntables are similar to the automotive style turntable system. These horizontally parted machines are simplified and flexible enough to run the gamut of parts typical of most foundries. The tilt back after pouring motion can be included with these machines. Water cooling and thermocouple controls can also be tailored to the customer's specific requirements. These turntable systems are available in our standard 8-station model with custom accommodations made upon request. The average dry cycle time is 38 sec/station. Depending on the customer's particular tooling package, the expected production rate can be 96 cycles/hour.
