INDUCTO-POUR® AUTOMATIC POURING SYSTEMS
DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY

 

INDUCTO-POUR® Advantages:

  • Superior accuracy in pouring up to 500 molds per hour.
  • Guaranteed computer-controlled repeatability.
  • Maximum mold yield.
  • Reduces wasteful under/over pours.
  • Precise pouring temperature.
  • Optimum casting quality.
  • Pouring continuous during molten metal refill.
  • Teach mode operation.
  • Hydraulic tilting available for ease of maintenance.
  • Conformity to any indexing or continuously moving mold line.
  • An affordable means of upgrading technology on a incremental basis.

Overhead View

Inducto-Pour® Pressure Pour VISIPOUR® System:

  • Incorporates a vision-based computer control system with automatic learning capabilities and a stopper-rod to maximize pouring precision, consistency and speed.
  • Combines a microprocessor-based control with a closed-loop, pressurized "teapot" furnace to bottom pour with continuous accuracy.
  • Reproduces programmed pouring rates for any sequence of mold weights and patterns.
  • Designed for maximum production rates and high metal volume throughput.
  • Provides real time vision control with remote manual joy stick pouring as a backup.
  • Utilizes induction power to hold and pour all metal at precise pouring temperature.

Inducto-Pour® Tundish VISIPOUR® System:

  • Available with a servo-stopper rod system and an operator actuated joystick control that can move on both x and y axes.
  • Stopper rod pouring mechanism is ideal for quick alloy changes of gray, malleable and treated ductile iron.
  • Thermally-efficient and easy-to-maintain design.
  • Can be equipped with optional load cells to indicate when the metal is low.
  • The tundish box is designed for easy change-out and can be removed quickly.
  • Optional hydraulic tilting allows for alloy and nozzle changes

Advanced Computer Controls

Pressure Control:
  • Closed loop electro-pneumatic control continuously maintains accurate pouring.
  • Variable flow rates over the course of the pour.
Teach Control:
  • Teach control accurately repeats pour pattern for any number of molds.
  • Precise control over pouring rate.
  • Maintains flow rate.
Vision Control:
  • Ensures accurate automatic pouring.
  • Instantly provides variable metal flow rates.
  • Automatically maintains optimum pouring efficiency - all without operator attention.
  • Precisely positions the pouring nozzle above the sprue.
  • Eliminates quality-robbing underpours and wasteful overpours.
  • Adjusts automatically to many mold changes.


IMPORTANT:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn
by anyone in proximity to molten metal.
