New relevant supply for Garoll.

A new supply for high-pressure casting machinery was recently undersigned between Garoll and an important portuguese company.
The agreement undersigned regards the supply of an AP-SR1 high-pressure casting unit for stick-on-rim closets. This new unit will be handed in by the end of July, and will produce two different models of 6-parts stick-on-rim closets.
The AP-SR1 unit consists of two twin HPC-402 double cavity machines and an HPC-201/170 machine. The first two cast the body part of the closets, while the last casts the rims.The unit is subordinated by the use of two IRB 6650/3.2-125 robots. The first will operate automatically during the following phases: demoulding of the rims, sticking slip distribution, demoulding of the body parts on the rim from the closer moulds of the HPC-402 machines, removal of excess water from the closets. The second robot will undergo the following phases in an automatic cycle: demoulding of the closets' bodies on the rims from the nearer moulds of the HPC-402 machines, positioning of the pieces on the pre-drying rack, taking and positioning of the pieces on the first fettling turret (on rim), rotation of the pieces after a pre-drying period of about two hours, unloading of the pieces on the exit accumulation conveyor for following manual white fettling operations and the next drying phase of the sanitaryware production process.
Garoll's AP-SR1 assertion in the sanitaryware production field continues, being the former an inseparable union of quality, efficiency and high production rates.
