Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2357049A1] The lost wax casting process comprises placing models made of a sublimating material in a container, spreading sand over the models, and forming a hole in the models and then pouring a liquid metal into the hole. The models are placed in an enclosure having a specific element to cool surfaces of the model. The model or cluster is placed in the enclosure to an assembly station and then transferred to a tank using an insertion unit. The enclosure is pre-positioned in contact with the container, and when the enclosure receives the cluster, the cluster is separated from the enclosure. The lost wax casting process comprises placing models made of a sublimating material in a container, spreading sand over the models, and forming a hole in the models and then pouring a liquid metal into the hole. The models are placed in an enclosure having a specific element to cool surfaces of the model. The model or cluster is placed in the enclosure to an assembly station and then transferred to a tank using an insertion unit. The enclosure is pre-positioned in contact with the container, and when the enclosure receives the cluster, the cluster is separated from the enclosure by a specific mechanism. The enclosure or model assembly is kept in suspension in the container without contact with each other. An independent claim is included for an installation for molding a waste model.
