The MultiCast 200 system is used for the production of:
- Cones inside dia. up to 1.5m with a height of 1.0m
- Risers inside dia. up to 1.8m with a height of 0.33, 0.5, 0.66 and 1.0m
The MultiCast 200 is manufactured to the highest standard of engineering using up to date production methods.
All components that are used in the manufacturing of the MultiCast 200 are of a high standard and are sourced from reliable and reputable suppliers.
The MultiCast 200 consists of a:
- Feeding Unit
- Vibrating Table
- Press Head
Feeding Unit
The Feeding Unit consists of a Concrete Holding Hopper which holds approximately 1500 kg’s of concrete. A Dosing Conveyor belt transports the concrete from the concrete holding hopper to the Concrete Divider. The belt is 2m long and 0.6m wide. The dosing belt can move forwards and backwards across the mould and the maximum movement for this is 1.6m. The hopper can also move 0.5m vertically to allow adjustment for larger moulds. The Concrete Divider operates in a diameter of 1.8m maximum and 0.8m minimum.
Vibrating Table
The vibrating table has a maximum product surface of area of 1.8m x 1.8m sq or 1.8 m diameter. The maximum height is 1.0m and it also has a stroke height adjustment of 1.0m as well (the table can be raised up by 1.0m in height).
The vibration is controlled by a variable speed inverter and the vibration units are synchronised moved vibrators.
Press Head
The Press Head contains the upper profile ring which is pressed onto the top of the product prior to removal of the mould for demoulding.
This unit is hydraulically operated and is moved into place (over the freshly filled mould) when the filling has been completed. The Press Head is then lowered onto the top of the filled mould and the upper profile ring is rotated back and forward to make the upper profile on the riser.
Power Requirements
The total power requirements for the MultiCast 200 is 37 kW 380/440 V AC @ 50/60 Hz
Operator Controls
The operator controls are all manually operated. There are interlocks in place that will prevent any unintentional damage by the operators and as with all machinery, operator safety is paramount. The operations are all hydraulically controlled which keeps maintenance to a minimum and reliability to a maximum.
Production Run
- The concrete holding hopper is filled with concrete.
- The operator moves the distribution belt forward over the mould that is clamped onto the vibrating table.
- The operator activates the distribution belt and the concrete begins the rotation of the concrete divider.
- The vibration is activated and the operator continues to fill the mould with concrete.
- Once the mould is filled, the operator retracts the distribution conveyor and moves the press head into position.
- The press head is then lowered into the top of the mould and the rotation begin. This leaves the upper profile on the product.
- When the press head is finished it is moved out of the area and the vibrating table clamps are released.
- An overhead gantry is fastened to the mould and it is lifted clear of the vibrating table.
- The mould is set down at a certain position and the bottom ring is released. This allows the product to be removed from the mould straight away.
- The mould is then set on another base ring to clamp it and is then set back down onto the vibrating table for the process to begin again.
