HPML – TOKYU-JAPAN

High Pressure Moulding Machine & Line (HPML) - TOKYU, Japan

Description

The AMF series offers Tokyu’s next-generation technology that guarantees productivity. The new AMF series machines are specially designed for high-speed productivity of moulds with minimal manpower. These series machines come with vertical blowing and horizontal parting mechanisms. The variable corner squeeze and combined blow mechanism assure high-quality moulding thus increasing casting productivity.

Salient Features

  • As the sand shooting and squeezing mechanisms are at the top of the machine, all cylinders are positioned outside in an open configuration, making maintenance easier.
  • The sand requirement is not very strict (moisture content, sand strength, etc.).
  • Vertical sand shooting utilizes gravity, so lower air pressure is sufficient.
  • Pattern change is easy since there is no bolt fixing is required.
  • The pouring gate position is easy to change as it can be adjusted from outside the machine.
  • Horizontal stripping with spring loading causes minimal mould shift. As a result, after pouring, the parting line has very few fins, reducing the need for grinding.
  • Minimal sand spillage occurs during moulding, making it easy to clean.
    Due to the structure of the pins and guide slices, mismatch is minimal (precision is good): AMF II, AMF IV – 0.2 mm; AMF III – 0.3 mm.
  • Pattern plates can be made from wood, allowing for quicker testing and reduced development time.
  • Depending on the casting shape, sand thickness can be adjusted, helping to reduce sand costs.
  • With downward sand blowing, the distance is short, improving filling efficiency.
  • The combined sand blowing system offers five modes, which can be selected based on the type of casting.
  • The pouring cup is removed immediately after squeezing, preventing loose sand from falling into the mould.
  • Mould thickness can be varied (across 3 to 5 levels) depending on the casting type.

Benefits

  • Has the fastest ROI in the market compared to other HMPLs.
  • Patterns are inexpensive and can be made from wood or resin, costing approximately one-sixth of those used in vertical moulding machine lines.
  • Due to the horizontal parting design, there is a wide range of casting possibilities. This allows customers to produce various types of castings, even in small quantities.
  • The initial investment is low—about half the cost compared to a Tight Flask moulding machine.
  • The horizontal parting and pouring method also result in better yield.
  • Consistent mould quality is maintained.
  • High productivity can be achieved with minimal manpower.
