DISAMATIC
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DISAMATIC is an automatic production line used for fast manufacturing of sand molds for sand casting.[1][2] This process is often used to mass manufacture metal castings for the automotive and machine industries.
In 1957, Vagn Aage Jeppesen, professor at the Technical University of Denmark, claimed a patent for a device producing flaskless molds of sand mixtures with vertical parting lines for casting metal parts. In 1960, the Danish company Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S (DISA) acquired the patent and began its implementation.
In 1962, a half scale prototype of a DISAMATIC sand molding machine with flaskless and vertically parted molds. During the International Foundry Trade Fair (GIFA) in 1962 in Düsseldorf, the scale model was demonstrated on DISA's stand. This resulted in sales of two first DISAMATICs to European foundries. The first automatic DISAMATIC molding lines could produce up to 240 complete sand molds per hour.
