Airlock Cluster Insertion System
This system is capable of automatically loading one foam cluster into the flask at the compaction station for two complete cycles before reloading. The system includes a shuttle table, vertical lift and rotating frame assembly.
-
Automatic Casting Extraction System
More information on this product will be available soon.
-
Automatic Sand Level Monitoring
Automatic sand level monitoring is used during fill with a moving probe.
-
Autopour System
Automatic Pouring System consists of an Automatic Ladler to pour lost foam flask and an Automatic Pouring Cup Manipulator. Furnaces are not included.
-
Bead Density Monitoring
Bead Density Monitoring equipment is used for continuously checking and recording the bulk density of the pre-expanded beads produced by the Vulcan pre-expander.

Bead Pre-Expander Pro-A 1000
StyroLogic Pre-Expanders allow for purchased raw polymer beads to be expanded using steam to achieve a controlled low density. These low density beads are then used in pattern production for lost foam replicas.
*This product is only available as part of a system

Bead Storage & Transfer Systems
Bead storage system comes with bags for storing, and then transfers expanded beads to the foam pattern molding machine(s). Two different models are available, Automatic Valving and Manual Valving systems.
-
Bead Storage Silos
Bead Storage Silos use manually operated valving which allows the operator to select a storage bag for newly pre-expanded material from the pre-expander. The heavy duty storage bags are doubled stitched meshed polypropylene to ensure long and dependable performance. Silos are made of a structural steel support system for the bags.

Coating Cell for Foam Clusters
This work cell comprised of two complete coating systems for dipping lost foam patterns in coating. Each system is completely automatic with the exception of loading / unloading clusters to / from the system and the loading of premix tanks.
-
Coating Premix Tank
The premix tank will be located outside of the robot’s enclosure to provide normal operation, without interruption, during the operator’s loading of the premix tank. When required, the operator selects the desired coating tank, initiates and stops pumping the premix solution to the coating tank. This allows the operator to maintain control of the mixture level in the coating tanks.
-
Coating Tank
The Coating Tank is a vessel for dipping clusters in coating. Vessel, mixer, heating system, and controls are specifically designed for the lost foam process. The system provides more accurate control of the coating process for repeatability.
-
Dust Collection
Vulcan will provide estimated air volume rates at required pick-up points to assist the Customer in designing the dust collection system. No dust collection equipment is included with this quotation. Any final designs and calculations will be the sole responsibility of the contractor providing the dust extraction equipment. Hoods and / or pick-up flanges will be provided by Vulcan at the flask fill, screener / classifier and bucket elevator.
-
Flask Fill
The system will be designed using the most advanced technology currently available for controlling sand fill at the compaction station. The operation of this equipment will be integrated with and controlled by the compaction system’s control.
-
Flow Coating System
This system is designed for special coating applications in the Lost Foam Process. This unit can be manually operated or used in conjunction with a robot to coat clusters of foam parts, which cannot be submerged or partially submerged.
