U-Series Shell Core Mold Machines

Safe, easy, shell core removal is made possible by the swinging door design. When the door opens at the end of the cycle, the attendant is facing the heater plate for core removal – there is no heater plate behind him. He never needs to put his hand or body in the heated area between core box halves. Either right or left hand opening doors are available in all three models to permit greater efficiency when an attendant handles more than one machine. Operation is simple, safe and economical since the cycle is completely automatic.

 
U-360
Shalco foundrymen faced with the problem of producing large, heavy cores can take full advantage of the benefits inherent in the shell core-making process. The Shalco U-360 was developed specifically to cut the cost of big castings… has already proved itself in foundries around the world. It’s a rugged machine, built to deliver long trouble-free service under the most demanding operating conditions; yet it offers the same precision and operating smoothness found in medium and small-size units.
