COMPACTCAST CC300 The easyshell® production process
Innovative pressure casting system for sanitaryware
The main application of the new COMPCTCAST CC300 production system is the manufacturing of washbasins, kitchen sinks, shower trays, squat toilets and wash basins from ceramic slurries (e.g., Vitreous China/VC and Fine Fire Clay/FFC) by pressure casting based on a completely new defined mold and machine technology.
The CC300 is designed for two-part, so-called easyshell® molds made of porous resin for core and hollow casting as an integrated system. Up to three such easyshell® molds, also with different articles, can be run simultaneously in one cycle. Easyshell® molds with up to four lateral insertion wedges are possible.
Individual mold loading and article removal in the horizontal direction with placement on setters or a conveyor line is performed by a robot.
The innovative COMPACTCAST production system opens up completely new technological design possibilities for sanitaryware in terms of ports, interior and design.
The innovative COMPACTCAST production system also offers maximum flexibility in production from batch size 1 through fast and cost-effective scalability.
