EVEN IF YOU DON’T OWN A HUNTER MOLDING MACHINE,
WE HAVE THE MOLD HANDLING SOLUTION THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU.

No matter what type of molding machines you run, you can’t maximize production unless mold handling, transport, pouring and cooling operations prior to shakeout seamlessly and precisely match them. That’s why we design our mold handling systems to meet each customer’s exact equipment, production and foundry floor specifications…and why they’re used with all types of molding machines, all over the world. Our patented HLH linear mold handling systems are economical, efficient, easy-to-install, and feature a boardless shuttle conveyor option that accepts molds not produced on bottom boards.

Four Types of Linear Mold Handling Systems

Type I System

- Single row pouring line - Cooling times up to 30 minutes

Type II System

- Double row combined pouring and cooling line - Cooling times up to 45 minutes

Type III System

- Triple row combined pouring and cooling line - Cooling times up to 1 hour

Type IV System

- Single row pouring plus triple row cooling line - Cooling times in excess of 1 hour

FEATURES OF THE LINEAR MOLD HANDLING SYSTEMS

  • Molding machine can continue operating during normal metal delays
  • Pouring can continue during pattern changes or other brief interruptions
  • Conveyor length can vary in one mold increments to suit individual requirements
  • Optional elevated automatic bottom board return facilitates unrestricted molding machine access

POURING SECTION:

  • Molds are indexed forward, and poured at rest, when operating in single- station pouring mode
  • Multiple-station pouring mode offers maximum speed and flexibility
  • Faster and more accurate pouring reduces related scrap
  • Heavy cast iron weights and jackets are set automatically and precisely
  • Two levels of cooling under weights and jackets
  • Additional modules can easily be added for an expanded pouring zone
  • Ideally suited for all types of manual or automatic pouring

COOLING SECTION: TYPES II, III and IV

  • Two levels of cooling with up to three additional molds per cooling tray
  • Additional modules can easily be added to meet future cooling requirements
  • Molds are transferred or discharged without pushing mold against mold
  • Pourer can select desired amount of cooling based on job requirements
  • Controlled cooling times help improve casting quality, while reducing hot sand problems
