Abstract (en)
The process lies in drying the cavity (3) of the greensand moulds (1) in which molten metal is cast for obtaining respective castings, wherein drying of said cavity (3) is made before the mould filling step in order to eliminate humidity and prevent porosities from being formed on the finished casting. In order for the cavity in the moulds (1) to be dried, the moulds are provided with recesses (2) in order that hot air may be applied through the top hood (4) of a drying station and negative pressure or vacuum may be applied through a bottom sink (6), which results in a hot air stream flowing between the cavities (3) in the moulds (1), directed towards the mould recesses (2), extracting the humidity from such moulds (1) and redirecting the extracted water towards the bottom sink (6). In a different embodiment, the moulds (1') have through recesses (2'), which recesses are provided in the sector of the facility in which the moulds (1') proper are conveyed from the moulding chamber to the filling station, the through recesses (2') being provided by means of the piercing ends or points (21) of respective rods (20) that may be moved up and down. <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
