WRM60/3 Pressure Casting System for Sanitaryware
Our pressure casting plant WRM60/3 with increased mold installation space is used for the efficient forming of water rims with integrated water tank for so-called one-piece toilets made of ceramic slip (e.g. vitreous china/VC and fine fire clay/FFC) by hollow or solid casting.
Thus, the WRM60/3 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, an assistance robot can insert a third mold part in the area of the water tank. 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.
During the casting process, the closing pressure follows the slip pressure inside the molds.
The articles are removed in a controlled and low-deformation procedure by a robot.
