01 / COMPLETE LINE OVERVIEW

From foam pattern to sand return, one connected production route.

What is included depends on the project scope. The overview below shows the process relationship that a Lost Foam Casting Line is designed to coordinate.

  2. 02Pattern AssemblyPattern preparation
  3. 03CoatingCoating & drying
  4. 04DryingCoating & drying
  5. 05Flask PreparationMold preparation

  10. 10CoolingPouring & cooling
  11. 11ShakeoutRecovery
  12. 12Sand ReclamationRecovery
  13. 13Sand ReturnRecovery

Sand circulation is part of the system. Used sand moves through shakeout and reclamation before returning to the sand handling route, subject to the project process plan.
