Modular Casting System
One of the most simplistic casting systems on the market
Each cell casts independently. Simple shapes and single cells can be demoulded by hand.
​
A typical casting module will comprise of several casting cells and a demoulding robot.
This means larger shapes, including kitchen sinks can be automatically demoulded.
This type of casting system is ideally suited for large or small wash basins in vitreous or fine fire clay. A range of different styles of product can be cast on the same module at the same time. This system is simple with minimum maintenance and maximum ease of use.
The Modular system has the following key characteristics
​
-
The angle and orientation of each casting module can be pre-set to improve drainage
-
PCL’s proven mould clamping technology ensures the system footprint is minimal
-
Automated demoulding allows large fine fireclay pieces to be cast and demoulded
-
Several cells casting a range of pieces independently can be cast together using a single robot demoulding system
-
Cells can be replaced in minutes through rapid mould change resulting in minimum downtime
-
This casting system is suitable for vitreous and large fine fireclay pieces such as lavatories and kitchen sinks
-
1 cell will typically cast 26,600 ppy in vitreous or 15,960 ppy in Fine Fire Clay
