 method. The machine is capable of a 5L shot, which allows large cores or small cores in a multi-cavity box to be formed.

The machine can be supplied with an automatic sand feeding system and an automatic corebox cleaning system to further automate the process.

The system features a heavy steel frame structure, automatic discharge of sand cores on a conveyor belt conveyor belt

One of various devices that provide mechanized movement of material, as in a factory. Conveyor belts are used in industrial applications and also on large farms, in warehousing and freight-handling, and in movement of raw materials.
