WRM60/2 Pressure Casting System for Sanitaryware
Our pressure casting plant WRM60/2 is used for the efficient forming of water rims for all kinds of box rim toilets made of ceramic slip (e.g. vitreous china/VC and fine fire clay/FFC) by hollow or solid casting.
Thus, the WRM60/2 is a supplement to the pressure casting plant of the WCM60 series with the two machines together forming a functional system with joint control system.
The machine is designed for molds made of porous synthetic material and consisting of two parts. In addition to that, the machine can be equipped with a wedge pulling device for a third mold part. The articles will be cast in so-called upside-down position.
The mold parts will be brought together in horizontal position before being locked hydraulically. After that, the closed mold set can be rotated as desired up to a vertical position.
During casting, the closing pressure will be adjusted to the increasing slip pressure inside the mold.
The articles will be removed in a controlled manner and with little deformation by means of a robot.
