Advantages of the aeration sand filling
Uniform sand density during sand filling
Complex contours are evenly filled
Reduced air consumption
Various sand formulations possible

Max. pressure Pressure “Low” Pressure “High” Pressure “High”
Advantages ▪ cheap ▪ can be reinforced with ▪ chrome plating reduces friction
▪ easy to maintain metallic inserts at vulnerable between the molding sand and the
points model -> less pattern draft angle
▪ Low wear
Disadvantages ▪ short service life ▪ Average service life ▪ High manufacturing costs
▪ can be deformed or
damaged if the
pressure is too high
Quality Increase
Very stable guidance system (Press pressure: max. 70 N/cm²)
Improved model separation
Reduction of casting defects through exact model cutting
Improved and constant mold quality
Increasing productivity and reducing personnel costs
Exact pattern cutting and absolutely parallel mold addition, supported by four guide rods and a
pressure of max. 70 N/cm² improve and stabilize the casting quality
Automatic Pattern Spraying
Spraying the top of the pattern Spraying the underside of the pattern
Safe separation of pattern and mold through automatic spraying
Characteristics of the Hydro-pneumatic pressing
Integrated pressure converter from pneumatic hydraulic
Only the connection to a pneumatic system is required
Pressing is done hydraulically
No hydraulic unit required
Sprue cup positions
▪ 9 preset sprue positions

▪ Positions that are not required are sealed
with screw-in plugs
▪ Positions can also be used for open risers

Better working environment
Sand is filled under a sealed space using cope and drag flasks,
eliminating spilled and dispersed sand.

Reduced noise
and vibration!
Working environment is greatly improved by the reduced vibration and noise

compared to traditional jolt type molding machines.
HWS Flaskless Molding Machines and Plants
Energy saving and environment friendly
▪ Compact and individual plant layouts enables energy

savings due to reduced amount of moved masses
▪ Cost-efficient structure from planning to operation
▪ Low requirements for building and foundation structure
▪ Selectable molding cod heights enables a resource-
friendly sand use
