Part separation systems and return in zinc die casting

The parts are transferred from the die-casting machine via the chute on the side to the first angled conveyor belt (type NVF-LD 120)

The design of the chute and the conveyor belt is chosen so that the very large sprues are aligned longitudinally on the conveyor belt and thus fit into the inlet ring of the separating drum

Due to the necessary separation of Angus and good part, a knock-off drum type A 3512 B is used for the separation system, including a moving hardwood for knocking off the sprue (separation drum with individual adjustment, reversible drum running direction, a hardwood loosely running in the drum cage as a knock-off medium and a collecting plate for the wood at the drum outlet).

In the drum, the sprues are first separated from the good parts. The good parts are smaller than the sprues and fall out of the drum and are collected in a box.

The sprues travel to the drum outlet and are conveyed via a chute onto a second angled steel hinged plate conveyor. This conveyor carries the sprues back to the feed area of the die-casting machine.

This is a conveying, cutting, separating and return device
