The casting Decoring Machine/De-coring Station is an advanced structure, high-efficiency production of sand core removal equipment for non-ferrous metal castings. It is mainly used for cleaning sand cores of various aluminum alloy castings with complex cavities. Pump body, casing, and other castings.

De-coring is fast and reliable, short cycle time, safe and environmentally friendly, has high efficiency, has low energy consumption, is suitable for mass production of various scale product lines, and can be connected to the advantages of various production lines.

What is De-coring Machine?

The decoring machine is a type of specialized equipment used in foundries and metalworking industries for removing sand cores from castings. Decoring machines use a combination of mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic mechanisms to knock out the cores from the castings efficiently. They are highly automated and can process a large number of castings in a short amount of time, significantly improving the productivity of the casting process. Decoring machines come in various sizes and capacities, ranging from smaller machines suitable for low to medium-production environments to larger machines for high-volume production environments. They can be customized to meet specific casting requirements and integrated with other foundry equipment for a streamlined operation. Decoring machines require specialized maintenance and skilled operators to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Pros

  • Decoring machines significantly improve the efficiency and productivity of the casting process in high volume production environments.
  • They reduce labor costs by eliminating the need for manual decoring, which often requires skilled labor and is time-consuming.
  • Decoring machines improve the overall quality of the finished casting by reducing defects and inconsistencies caused by manual decoring.
  • They can be customized to meet specific casting requirements and integrate with other foundry equipment for a more streamlined operation.

Cons

  • Decoring machines can be a costly investment depending on the type and level of automation required.
  • They require specialized maintenance and skilled operators to ensure safe and efficient operation.
  • Decoring machines are often bulky and take up a considerable amount of space in the foundry.

Applications

  • Foundries and metalworking industries primarily use decoring machines to remove sand cores from castings, including engine blocks, cylinder heads, and other complex shapes.
  • They are ideal for high volume production environments where efficiency and productivity are essential.
  • Decoring machines are commonly used in the automotive and aerospace industries, where complex and precise castings are required.

Working Principle of De-coring Machine

The sand core is separated from the surface of the casting

  • Place the casting in a pneumatic clamp to clamp;
  • High-frequency hammering with a De-coring hammer;
  • The sand core is separated from the surface of the casting and cracked into blocks.

Fragmentation and removal of sand core

  • The vibration motor vibrates at a high frequency, which generates a high acceleration and breaks the sand core;
  • At the bottom of the machine, waste sand is collected through a belt.

5 Features of De-coring Machine

Decoring machine is a highly automated system used in foundries and metalworking industries for removing sand cores from castings.
It uses a combination of mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic mechanisms to knock out the cores from the castings efficiently.
Decoring machines often come equipped with robotic arms and advanced sensors to detect the location and size of the cores.
They may also have multiple decoring stations for high production environments and can be integrated with other foundry equipment for a seamless operation.

  • Robust and reliable, simple operation;
  • Low noise and little impact on the environment;
  • Reduce labor costs and improve production efficiency;
  • Suitable for large, medium, and small batch production;
  • Easy to connect to various production lines.

How is the sand taken out from the de-coring machine?

  • Method 1: There is a trolley for receiving sand under the equipment, and the sand falls into the trolley. When the trolley is full, the trolley is manually transported away and the sand is returned to the trolley for recycling.
  • The second method: A belt conveyor is installed under the equipment, and the belt conveyor is equipped with a sandbox outside the equipment. The sand is transported from the bottom of the equipment to the sandbox outside the equipment.

The method of conveying waste sand by belt conveyor is the best choice for waste sand collection.
