Thanks to outstanding flexibility, the new AVB casting bench allows producers to make articles using 2, 3, 4 or 5-part moulds.
With the same structure as the ALS, designed to cast washbasins, sinks, pedestals, squat-type WCs, tanks and lids, it is now possible to make open-rim WCs. The WCs may be of the wall-hung or floor-mounted type. In the event of a change to the product mix, the ALS can be converted into an AVB, and vice versa.
The new battery-arranged machine allows very high output rates to be achieved. The number of moulds may vary depending on exact system configuration and required productivity, up to a maximum of 10 WC bowls for floor-mounted types and 8 for wall-hung ones. Even the length of the machine can be chosen according to the number of moulds the producer intends to install (4 versions available).
Different levels of automation can also be applied: de-moulding may be automatic following installation of a robot, or can be manual, servo-assisted by a zero-weight lifter.
Outstanding machine flexibility also makes it possible to produce different models with different casting cycles simultaneously.
The AVB features all the trademark functions of Sacmi machines: proportional hydraulics to maximise the working life of the moulds, maximum casting pressure of 15 bar, the possibility of applying vacuum to the moulds and being able to change them without having to dismantle the container frames.
The AVB responds perfectly to the need to produce economical WCs; an alternative to traditional casting, it reduces both space and labour requirements while improving the quality of the finished product thanks to the use of porous resin moulds.
Sacmi is able to provide the complete modelling, mould machine and piece maturing package, tailor-made to suit the customer’s specific requirements.
