Vertical Molding Machine for Precision Casting

The Vertical Molding Machine is a fully automatic molding system featuring vertical parting and double-face sand compaction (or air-precompaction + squeeze), engineered for high-volume, high-efficiency casting production. With the pattern mounted vertically and flasks closing from top to bottom, the mold cavity forms along the vertical axis—ideal for small-to-medium, complex-geometry castings with uniform wall thickness, such as engine blocks, brake discs, pipe fittings, and pump/valve housings in gray iron, ductile iron, or steel. Capable of 300–600 molds per hour, it serves as the cornerstone of modern green and smart foundries.

Sand Filling: Pre-metered sand drops into upper and lower flasks.
Pre-Compaction (optional): High-pressure air flows through the sand for initial uniform distribution.
Double-Sided Squeeze: Upper and lower rams apply synchronized pressure (80–150 bar) to form molds with high hardness (HB 90–95) and excellent repeatability.
Pattern Withdrawal & Closing: The pattern strips vertically; the top flask flips 180° and aligns precisely with the bottom flask.
Automatic Transfer: Closed molds are conveyed via roller tables or robots to the pouring station.

High Throughput, Labor Savings
Replaces 10–15 manual molders. Cycle time as fast as 6–10 seconds/mold, enabling annual output of 500,000–1,000,000 molds—dramatically reducing labor cost per casting.

Superior Mold Accuracy & Casting Consistency
Vertical parting eliminates mold mismatch. Uniform compaction delivers dimensional accuracy to CT8–CT10 and surface roughness Ra ≤50 μm, minimizing fettling and scrap.

Saves Sand & Floor Space
No runner waste in horizontal direction; optimized gating reduces sand consumption by 15–25%. Footprint is only 1/3 of horizontal lines—ideal for retrofitting existing foundries.

Fully Automatable & Industry 4.0 Ready
Seamlessly integrates with auto-pouring, cooling, shot blasting, and robotic stacking. Equipped with MES/ERP interfaces for full-process data tracking and remote monitoring.

Eco-Friendly & Energy Efficient
Enclosed operation minimizes dust emission (with dust extraction port). 30% lower energy consumption vs. jolt-squeeze machines—compliant with green foundry standards.

Automotive: Brake discs, hubs, steering knuckles, transmission cases
Pipe & Valve: Ductile iron fittings, flanges, valves, water meter bodies
General Machinery: Compressor blocks, motor end shields, gearbox housings
Energy: Small wind power components, hydraulic parts, pump casings
