Sand Preparation System

No-Bake Sand Molding Line

Integrated molding line for resin bonded sand castings with flexible production capacity.

Process Flow

Main No-Bake Sand Molding Line Steps

01

Sand Mixing and Molding Stage

First, the pattern is placed in the flask, followed by the addition of resin sand.

Key Operations
  • Sand Filling
  • Vibration Compaction

These operations allow the resin sand to fully fill the space around the pattern and form the sand mold.

Stage Status

The pattern remains embedded in the sand mold, so pouring cannot begin yet.

02

Flask Turning and Pattern Removal

After molding is complete, the pattern must be removed.

Functions of the Turnover and Pattern Removal Machine
  • Turns the flask to the appropriate position
  • Separates the pattern from the sand mold through the lifting mechanism
  • Preserves the integrity of the mold cavity
03

Flow Coating and Surface Drying Treatment

After pattern removal, the sand mold may undergo flow coating and surface drying to improve casting surface quality.

Treatment Steps
  • Apply refractory coating by flow coating
  • Dry the coating in a surface drying oven
Functions
  • Prevents sand burn-on
  • Improves casting surface finish
04

Molten Metal Transfer and Automatic Pouring

Finally, the molten metal is transferred and poured into the mold cavity.

Process Result

The molten metal cools and solidifies in the mold cavity to form the casting.

Complete Process

The automatic no-bake sand molding line mainly comprises the molding, flow coating and surface drying, core setting and box closing, and pouring and cooling process sections.
