Dual Station Shell Core Machines
Dual Station Shell Core Machines
EMI acquired Harrison Equipment in 2018 and set about supporting the existing customer base with new equipment and replacement parts. In the time since we’ve owned the technology, we’ve made a number of improvements designed to bring longer life, lower maintenance, and higher quality cores. The main innovative features that attracted the industry to the equipment remain the cornerstone of these designs.
The Dual Station Shell Core Machine is unique to the industry. The machine is basically two core production centers in one machine. The Shell Machines produce high quality – hollow cores – by rolling the tooling 180 degree. These same machines can produce hot box – solid cores – by disabling the roll-over feature or the machine can be supplied only as hot box.
Dual Station Innovation for Today’s Modern Foundry
- Increases Operator Output: One Operator runs two jobs at the same time
- Quick Change Core Box Mounting System: available, change boxes in just a few minutes
- Production During Heat-Up: run full production on one station while the other station’s box is heating up
- High Speed Operation: high efficiency pneumatics enable faster cycle times
Dual Station Unparalleled Flexibility – Suit the needs of a constantly changing industry:
- Rollover System: makes hollow cores, ON/OFF selector switches at each station allow program selection shell or oscillate modes with timers and automatic vibration
- Three Piece Boxes capability
- Large Core on (1) Station, Small Core(s) on Other Station or Same on Both Stations
- Long Run on (1) Station & Jobbing Work on Other Station
- Hollow Core(s) on (1) Station & Solid on the Other Station, or Same on Both Stations
- Reduced Energy & Emissions
- Superior Productivity and Utilization fewer Dual Station machines are required to meet capacity demand
- Higher Productivity & Fewer Machines means more cores per energy & labor unit = lower operating cost
- Lower COST-per-CORE = quick payback & higher margins equal an increased Competitive Advantage
