Core Shooting Machine

Application

DRATEC Hot Box Core Shooting Machine, also named hot box core shooter, is a moulding equipment widely used in the foundry casting industry. High production efficiency, accurate size, smooth appearance, better sand core strength and hardness, and the ability to produce castings with complicated internal cavities. It’s suitable for casting small and medium-sized casting cores such as automobiles, valves, and machine tools. It is ideal for casting enterprises to improve product quality and production efficiency. Both the vertical parting and horizontal parting can be used

Features

This equipment is designed for producing high-strength, smooth-finish sand
cores or molds using phenolic resin-coated sand, cured by a combination of electric and steam heating.

Features PLC program control with an LCD interface for parameter setting, process monitoring, and fault diagnosis. Supports manual, automatic, and jog control modes with digital temperature display and regulation.

Automatic sand filling and cleaning of the shooting head after each cycle, without water cooling. Alarm prompt for mold opening, with a middle slide mechanism for core removal. The mold template utilizes high-frequency hardened and hard-chrome-plated guide rails for high clamping precision and extended service life. Supports multi-directional core extraction.

Optional components enable fast, impact-free movement, prolonging service life. Electromagnetic overflow air-cooled hydraulic station reduces oil temperature and delays component fatigue. Post-mold opening, the template can rotate 90° for automated core pickup and removal

Vertical design with 2 to 6 mold opening modes. Some series offers a dual-mode opening and dual-station setup for simultaneous production of two molds. Drive modes: pneumatic, hydraulic, or combined pneumatic-hydraulic. Optional accessories: pattern plates, sandblasting quick-change plate devices, and sand feeding systems.
