Application

DRATEC Cold Box Horizontal Parting Core Shooting Machine, also called Cold Box Shell Core Making Machine ,Cold Box Core Machine…, refers to adopting a core box at normal temperature and using amine(TEA, DMA, etc.) as a catalyst to cure the phenolic resin-coated sand. Both the vertical parting and horizontal parting can be used. This processing represents the mainstream of today’s sand core-making technology. It has been widely used in foundry workshops for automobiles, spare parts, engines, valves, and electrical accessories in these industries.

Features

Designed for cold box resin sand cured rapidly with TEA or CO₂, this system produces high-quality cores and molds with high efficiency, low cost, and minimal emissions.

PLC-controlled with an intuitive LCD interface, it supports manual/automatic/jog modes. Patented vibration-assisted sand shooting ensures precise, strong cores with smooth surfaces, zero scrap, and minimal waste.

Designed for cold box resin sand cured rapidly with TEA or CO₂, this system produces high-quality cores and molds with high efficiency, low cost, and minimal emissions.

A top ejector keeps cores in the lower mold, which moves out for extraction—no core-catching cart needed. Durable chrome-plated guide rails with auto-lubrication and cleaning extend service life

A movable work table simplifies mold setup and core removal. Fully sealed doors and screens ensure a clean workspace. The integrated DR-series TEA generator minimizes amine use without secondary blowing.

Available in horizontal parting models with 2–6 openings and optional side core-pulling. Drive options include variable frequency, pneumatic, servo hydraulic, or hybrid systems. Accessories include molds, quick-change plates, and sand feeders.
