Foundry core production

Solutions for manufacturing foundry cores for complex casting shapes – cold and hot processes, manual and automated systems.

Technologies and processes for foundry core production

Foundry cores are used to shape those parts of castings that cannot be formed solely by a mould or tooling. They are suitable for:

  • sand moulds,
  • gravity casting,
  • low-pressure casting.

Cores are made from sand that retains its shape through the use of chemical binders.

Core hardening processes

Core making machines are divided into:

Cold processes:

  • Cold Box, CO₂, Beta set - fast cycles, high precision, ideal for batch production.

Hot processes:

  • Croning (shell moulding), Hot Box – exceptionally strong cores, suitable for complex shapes and high productivity.

Machine configurations

Depending on tool layout, the following configurations are available:

  • machines with vertical parting,
  • machines with horizontal parting,
  • combined systems.

This enables coverage of a wide range of core shapes, sizes and complexity levels.

 

Capacity and level of automation

In cooperation with partners, Siapro provides solutions for all production levels:

Manual machines

  • for small batches, prototypes and flexible production.

Automatic machines

  • for stable, repeatable and productive core manufacturing.

High-performance multi-station centres

  • for large foundries, high capacities and complex core assemblies.

Regardless of the selected technology, we enable:

  • performance optimization,
  • reliable production cycles,
  • tool customization,
  • full integration into existing foundry lines.
