The Hunter HLM Series' smooth, quiet, energy-efficient operation and stability, plus lower maintenance requirements, offer customers productivity and profit potential.
The HLM Series was invented by company president and CEO, Bill Hunter. And when the HLM-10 --- first product in the line --- was introduced at Cast Expo 2013 in St. Louis, Bill stated, “This machine marks another innovation milestone in the 50-year history of our company,” adding, “We have incorporated this modern linear motion design because we believe it will have a significant, positive and immediate impact upon the foundry world.”
In addition to smoother movements of the squeeze platen, cope flask, sand measuring hopper and other components on the HLM, other notable features of this new machine include: separation of the hydraulic power system for cleaner easier maintenance and, linear motion-operated, programmable access doors for maximum operator protection, and rodless cylinder-operated board feeder operation.
