Flexible and efficient large casting production with high speed, high volume and high quality.
For foundries that are still producing larger castings, such as engine blocks, pipe fittings, fire hydrants, large pumps and manhole covers, on big flask lines, the DISAMATIC 240-280 range offers the opportunity to step up productivity and casting quality and make large moulds faster than ever before.
401 - 450 moulds per hour
High speed of up to 450 moulds/hour
Mould sizes of up to 1050 mm by 1200 mm and a thickness of up to 675 mm
Small footprint, minimal manpower
Advanced PLC system optimising all functions and movements
The DISAMATIC 240-280 is a range of vertical green sand moulding lines for large castings (with mould sizes of up to 1050 mm by 1200 mm and a thickness of up to 675 mm).
Their rigid design assures higher dimensional tolerances for optimal large mould accuracy, reducing or even eliminating the need for finishing work. Variable mould thickness also delivers lower sand consumption and a constant metal-to-sand ratio.
With a small footprint and easily run by a single operator, all four models enable sustainable, energy-efficient operation at speeds between 210 and 450 uncored moulds per hour.
Available globally in four sizes, the DISAMATIC 240, 250, 270 and 280 deliver the ultimate in moulding performance for large castings.
DISA offers worldwide support of the DISAMATIC 240-280 to help maximise foundry performance at all times, thanks to:
The DISAMATIC 240-280 range harnesses advanced DISA moulding technology to deliver ultimate vertical mould performance: efficient hydraulic and pneumatic operation, rapid sand filling, double-side squeeze, enhanced rigidity – all coordinated by a sophisticated process control system.
With time-saving options like the Automatic Pattern Changer (APC), the Automatic Core Feeder (ACF) and Double Index System (DIS), the DISAMATIC 240-280 machines combine highly flexible production with outright speed.
The bottom line? Up to 450 large uncored moulds an hour, every hour.
Lower loads on bearings and moving parts increase plant lifetime and significantly reduce the need for servicing. Improved accessibility makes maintenance much easier too. Pre-set production parameters support fast and reliable pattern changes so there’s no need to slow the moulding line.
Total process control with threshold alarms plus on-screen messaging and instructions dramatically reduce stoppages while DISA Global Services and DISA TOPS – DISA’s exclusive customer inspection, service and maintenance programme – offer the industry’s finest aftermarket support.
Together, they deliver class-leading uptime, with DISAMATIC 240-280 machines still performing like new decades after installation.
Where horizontal moulding technology takes up space and ties up manpower, is slower and has a higher cost per casting, vertical moulding offers high-quality, higher-speed casting production together with a modern, safe working environment. The DISAMATIC 240-280 range was designed to save foundries time and money, right from day one:
By minimising capital investment and operating cost, DISAMATIC 240-280 moulding lines help increase your foundry’s profitability in the production of large castings.
DISA brings over half a century of vertical moulding expertise and development to the DISAMATIC 240-280 range. With subsystem rigidity up to double that of previous models, its optimised mechanical design reduces machine-dependent mismatch very close to zero.
Integrated operation with perfect synchronisation between DISA moulding line units further supports mould integrity.
With optimum mould quality and minimum mould tear, casting finishing is reduced to an absolute minimum – and often eliminated entirely.
DISAMATIC moulding machines include an array of performance enhancing options for superior mould production quality and efficiency.
Used to extend cooling time, the SBC is available in 2m modules. Powered by and synchronised with the mould conveyor drive mechanism, it ensures steady transport of the entire mould string without mould gaps or deformation.
CIM modules collect, store and distribute process information along the entire moulding line. They support real-time monitoring and reporting, helping you improve foundry production process efficiency and quality.
