Cooling and bridging large distances
To bridge the usual distances of over 30 m in the foundry and simultaneously convey and cool components at several hundred degrees Celsius, spring guided vibratory machines are established in the foundry. They essentially consist of a cycle-controlled vibratory conveyor trogh that is driven by a push crank. Mass compensation protects the foundation: This type of conveyor is also used, for example, in a system for processing aluminum scrap. The most material is fed onto the vibrating machine via conveyor belts. These temparture conditions pose a problem for other conveyor technologies, but not for masscompensated vibratory machines. Furthermore, the conveying and pause cycle to achieve efficient drying over a minimized machine length.
Efficient operation
The linear vibration movement perpendicular to the vibrating surface can be adjusted to the casting program. The bearings of the unbalanced shafts are supplied with circulating oil lubrication at high
ambient temperatures. Relubrication is no longer necessary, reducing maintenance effort and costs.
Data
- Nominal lengths up to 30000 mm
- Gentle and low-noise sliding conveying on 10-15 mm thick wear-resistant conveyor troughs
- Additional noise reduction thanks to the sandwich design
- Controlled removal of blasting media and trickling sand via screening lines and transport via blind floors
- Ergonomic working heights without platforms thanks to the mass-compensated FSM design
- Displacement of the conveyors:
- on vibration-isolated foundations
- directly on foundry floors or steel construction platforms
- Inclined conveyor sections up to 10° with trough conveyors for the joint transport of castings and sand
