This pouring machine is electrically driven, with no hydraulics and no consumables, ensuring stable operation and low maintenance costs. It can perform automatic positioning and pouring or operate in coordinated mode with the molding line, automatically dispensing molten iron in precise quantities to enable fully automated production aligned with the molding line—particularly well suited for vertical molding lines. The electrical system is controlled by a programmable logic controller, while both longitudinal movement and ladle tilting are driven by servo systems, delivering precise control and excellent repeatability. Molten‑iron dosing is managed by an electronic weighing system, unaffected by slag adhesion on the ladle, ensuring accurate measurement. The in‑flow inoculation mechanism is regulated via a frequency converter, accommodating a wide range of castings.
The pouring ladle is long and wedge-shaped, with a refractory lining inside, and is equipped with a tilting mechanism to facilitate the discharge of molten iron. It can be mounted on ground-level rails to extend the pouring reach.
Before pouring, simply set the molten iron weight per mold and the sand‑mold thickness, and adjust the position of the ladle spout relative to the pouring cup; the system will then automatically dispense the molten iron in a fixed quantity. It supports automatic positioning for pouring or linked, fixed‑point pouring synchronized with the molding line. During the pouring process, parameters such as pour rate, molten‑iron volume, and inoculant dosage can be adjusted in real time. This equipment is suitable for a wide range of casting production lines, including vertical and horizontal molding lines.

In the casting industry, automated mold‑change systems are one of the key technologies for boosting efficiency and enabling flexible manufacturing. They are primarily designed to address the longstanding issues of traditional manual mold changes—prolonged downtime, low precision, and high labor intensity.
