NEW GAROLL SUPPLY TO SANITANA, PORTUGAL.

Confirming the appreciation towards its technology, Garoll has recently closed an order from Sanitana, the important portuguese company, part of the Roca Group, concerning a low-pressure casting plant. The supply is a BC-M15 plant, that casts big sized pieces in Fine Fire Clay or in Vitreous China with horizontal demoulding, such as:
- Shower trays (up to 120x90 cm)
- Kitchen sinks
- Wash-basins with console
- Wash-tubs
- Columns with 3-cavity moulds

Its notable success can be attributed to some special features:
- Facility for equipping the line for producing any shape obtained with two-part moulds requiring horizontal demoulding
- Easy to set up and use
- Highly compact
- Increases output
- Production flexibility
- Pay-Back time is less than 2 years.

EQUIPMENT
The line is supplied with the following:
- Body feed automatic groups with pressure control
- Body slip distribution networks with pneumatic cleaning system
- Air systems for piece emptying and hardening.
- Mould drying systems.
- Adjustable carriages for transporting moulds
- M15 Manipulator for automatic, horizontal demoulding of pieces
- Electrical system with manual or automatic mode cycle

ADVANTAGES
Operational advantage :
The manipulator performs all demoulding operations by automatic cycle. This means increased output, as, during these automatic stages, the operator can do other jobs, such as cleaning and applying talc to moulds as soon as they are free, as well as preparing the next mould for demoulding.
Moreover, a single operator can control all piece casting and demoulding stages without any physical effort or need of help.
Quality advantage:
Pieces produced with this system are manipulated (lifting, transfer and rotation) while still inside the mould. They leave the mould only when in horizontal position and definitively resting on the demoulding support. This means better quality pieces and fewer production rejects.

A FLEXIBLE SYSTEM
The BC-M15 system makes it possible to combine several casting groups, both in-line and side-by-side, all using the same demoulding manipulator. This facility enables lay-outs meeting specific space and production requirements.
Through independent feeding, completely different moulds (in terms of dimensions, product type and body) can be installed on each line; in fact, automatic, independent control of casting cycles, and the demoulding manipulator's versatility (it adapts automatically to moulds of different sizes) ensure the BC-M15 system is highly flexible.
