MOULDING INSTALLATION Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: plastic metal working, applicable in molding of powdered thermoplastic materials, mainly of explosive compositions. SUBSTANCE: the molding installation has two hydraulic presses, horizontally closed walking- beam conveyer with guides and satellites and moulds orientedly installed on the satellites. Horizontal overpasses with wedge-shaped locking members are located between the presses. The drives of horizontal motion of the satellites are made in the form of rods, each consisting of two coaxially positioned parts with locking levers. The parts are interconnected by a coupling for independent angular displacements relative to each other by means of lever pneumatic actuators and joint linear displacement with a step multiple of the distance between the process positions of molding. Each mould is made with two cylindrical holes to receive the wedge-shaped locking members. At molding of thermoplastic explosive compositions it is provided with an armored cabin for installation of the hydraulic presses in it. EFFECT: enhanced reliability and adaptability to manufacture of the installation. 2 cl, 3 dwg
