Our manual<br />
<strong>mould</strong> <strong>change</strong><br />
car with<br />
2 x 500 kg<br />
<strong>mould</strong>s.<br />
Transferring the <strong>mould</strong> into the machine can be<br />
done manually or must be powered in depending<br />
on the weight of the <strong>mould</strong>. When the <strong>mould</strong> is<br />
light enough, manual transfer is practical.<br />
EAS offers the following solutions:<br />
A manual car is used to transport the <strong>mould</strong>s from the storage<br />
area directly into the machines. The adjustable height feature<br />
uses a hydraulic hand pump and cylinders to raise and lower<br />
the bed. The car can accommodate one 0,8 t or two 0,5 t<br />
<strong>mould</strong>s. When the car arrives at the machine it is positioned<br />
to allow the existing <strong>mould</strong> to be manually pulled out of the<br />
machine. To support the <strong>mould</strong> between the cart and machine<br />
a set of bridge rollers are manually lowered. Once the <strong>mould</strong><br />
has been removed the car is then positioned to allow the new<br />
<strong>mould</strong> to be manually pushed into the machine. The bridge<br />
rollers are then raised up out the way and <strong>mould</strong> is transported<br />
back to the storage area.<br />
EAS can offer different solutions depending on <strong>mould</strong> size<br />
and space limitations. Cars can be configured for side load or<br />
end load operation depending on the plant layout.<br />
Both configurations speed the <strong>mould</strong> <strong>change</strong> process.<br />
The <strong>mould</strong>s are<br />
pushed and<br />
pulled manually.<br />
