CONVEYORIZED METAL MOLD UNIT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: foundry, in particular chill casting machines for producing milling bodies. SUBSTANCE: conveyorized metal mold unit has base, vertical closed conveyor, metal molds with vertical separation surface, metal pouring zone and conveyor drive. Metal molds are positioned on conveyor. Conveyor is defined by two closed chains. Metal mold halves with vertical separation surface are fixed on conveyor chains, with upper branches of chains being arranged in inclined position in pouring zone to provide for tight adherence of metal molds. Downstream of pouring zone, chains are arranged at an angle one relative to another to define gap between metal mold halves, with gap exceeding ingot width. EFFECT: increased efficiency by providing close adherence of one metal mold to another in their upper parts, reduced metal loss, simplified and reliable withdrawal of ingots. 8 cl, 7 dwg
