1. Cell casting machine for enhanced
process control of WC Sanitary-ware
Most factories have an intense programme for the Modelling, Blocking and Casing
department. Adding to this commitment as a requirement for a new machine or
process is likely to destine the opportunity to the “maybe one day folder”
The project could become a reality if the chosen system would accommodate the
factories existing mould design with discernable modification to Blocks or Cases
It becomes a greater attraction if a cost saving or energy reduction becomes a feasible
Reality offsetting the initial financial outlay
Existing Battery casting systems require a greater solid cast thickness than is
structurally important solely because a time buffer has to be created to form a firm
hollow section and a solid section that does not crack easily whilst being rigid enough
to de-mould the item with a time window of 30 minute to 1 hour to empty the
machine
When the system allows for the clay-piece to be removed at its optimum condition
then lighter and thinner items can be produced offering a measurable improvement in
energy and material savings

2. 1, Fast repeatable training time. 2 to 4 minute cycle
2, Greater efficiency of supervision, predominantly one cell to supervise
3 Close control of mould condition
4, Potential cost savings for material and energy
5, Greater compliance of sales request, product in process within 90 minute if mould
available
6, Initial mould quality maintained as all handling procedure is mechanised
7, Continuous productivity if required, able to quantify overtime via per piece
production
8,Uses standard plaster moulds self produced at your factory
9, Increased per man output in 8 hours. 240 close couple WC. 120 One piece WC. 400
+ Open rim WC. 720 Asian squat pan
10. Mixed designs produced on same line yielding greater compliance with sales
requirement.
11, Considerably lower investment over High pressure casting systems with
comparable per man output.
Overall benefit of Cell casting process

3. 12, Slip manifold, Air manifold and Gravity/ service tank not required
13, All mould clamping is automatic
14, Minimal alteration to existing case/mother moulds required as machine is designed to
fit the mould and not mould designed to fit machine.
15, Opportunity to reduce solid cast clay thickness
16, Machine adaptable to stick on rim, cast on rim with either on foot/base or on rim.
Different de-moulder ancillaries required (bolt on )
