PLANT FOR MAKING ORIENTED-CRYSTALLIZATION CASTINGS Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: casting production. SUBSTANCE: plant has the mechanism 3 for rotating a guide section, arranged in a vacuum chamber, relative to a vertical axis for providing interaction of guides of the vacuum chamber with guides of a sluice chamber. The furnace 4 for preheating casting molds is placed in the vacuum chamber of the same level and in the same plane with the furnace 7. That allows to arrange the sluice chamber normally relative to an axis of the vacuum chamber, to decrease a number of displacements of hot casting molds, to eliminate their cooling and to use one furnace for heating up molds. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency. 4 cl, 3 dwg
