Moulding Technology: High Pressure Double Squeezing Moulding Process

The key of a good mold compaction system is the distribution of the sand in each pattern’s cavity, even the deeper. The perfect adaptation of the sand mold to the pattern’s shape and configuration is a must. The squeezing from the top is not sufficient to reach perfect molds and the best sand/metal ratio.
Therefore, the double squeezing from both sides of the mold is the proper solution; the difference and the advantage is given by the impression of the model/pattern from below directly into the flask and the green sand mold = Formimpress.

The Formimpress pattern bolsters:

The Formimpress pattern bolsters are not simple welded steel boxes or frames, but complex and sophisticate equipment.
In fact, these bolsters are an integral part of the moulding machine and they are composed by a guiding system (4 or 6 guides) for the Formimpress frame, a heating system for the pattern, a self lubrication system and wear pads, pins and bushes. Formimpress Bolster = Real Machine
