Manufacturing-Molding
Sand
undergoes rigorous process controls at
Michigan Steel. In the no-bake
molding process, which is capable of producing a wide range of mold sizes
in two molding centers, the
chemical and sand temperatures are controlled with designated heaters.
The
chemical binders and sands are mixed in state-of-the-art, high intensity
mixers capable of producing up to 1,000 pounds of mixed sand per minute.
Shell molding is also used at Michigan Steel.

The
two computer controlled, Airset No-Bake molding systems assure perfect
repetition of the process parameters. The maintenance diagnostic system
minimizes downtime. |

Pattern
entry, mold filling, compaction, strike-off, rollover, mold stripping, and
pattern exiting are computer controlled. |

Automatic
mold close up eliminates labor and provides for the precise closing of
every mold. Final inspection of a mold prior to closing assures mold
quality. |
