Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0108836A1] A system and method for heat treating castings (13, 53) and removal cores (54) therefrom. The castings (13, 53) are initially located in indexed positions with their x, y, and z coordinates known. The castings (13, 53) are passed through a series of nozzle stations (41, 63) each having a series of nozzles (42, 64, 64') mounted in present positions corresponding to the known indexed positions of the castings passing through the nozzle stations (41, 63). The nozzle (42, 64, 64') apply heated fluids to the castings (13, 53) for heat treating the castings (13, 53) and dislodging the sand cores (54) for removal from the castings (13, 53).
