Single station core shooters

KLANN Anlagentechnik offers core shooting machines for all common core manufacturing processes such as cold and hot box, CO2 and Croning processes. The systems have proven themselves in various applications for over 30 years and are available for shooting volumes of 3 – 40 liters.

In addition to individual machines, complete systems including sand delivery, binder addition, mixing units and core handling are also offered as fully automatic core production centers.

The KLANN core shooters have proven themselves in practical use for decades and are mainly used in 3-shift operation. The machines are available for horizontally and/or vertically divided core boxes.

In addition to pure hot box, cold box or CO2 machines, combination machines are also available which have gassing devices in addition to heating jaws.

The KLANN core shooting machines are characterized by:

High, reproducible core quality through delivery of complete systems including sand processing and conveying

Short travel distances by moving the machine table front section along the machine table. This saves lifting movements for removing the core and achieves short cycle times

Laterally movable shooting and gassing unit to remove the shooting cylinder from the core box area after the shot and to prevent the core sand from hardening in the shooting openings and in the shooting cylinder

Short cycle times through optimized design and process flows and thus high hourly output

High availability with long maintenance intervals

Height-adjustable clamping jaws to ensure core box clamping in the middle of the core box

Complete enclosure with wide access doors for waste heat and exhaust air extraction and as protection against flying sand

High core box closing forces with precise clamping jaw guidance, therefore low burr formation and correspondingly less rework on the produced cores

Small compact design, with little footprint

Easy core box change with optionally installed lifting equipment

Good accessibility for tool changes and maintenance purposes

Available options for KLANN core shooters:

Core box changing device

Mandrel pulling device

Lateral loose part pulling device

Core box changing tool

Automatic tilting head adjustment

Adaptation to different core box widths

Automatic deburring device

Base frame with cleaning drawers

Core removal robot for further processing or storage
