Abstract
In a transport system for a mould-string casting plant comprising a moulding machine (1) delivering a plurality of uniform mould parts (3) to a string of moulds on the transport system transporting the moulds from the moulding machine (1) to a pouring station (4) and further on to a solidification and cooling section (II, III, IV) and ending at a knock-out station in which the castings are taken out of the moulds (3), the transport system comprises in combination—a second section (II), in which the moulds (3) in the string are transported slidingly by means of movable longitudinal side rails (8) applying a positive lateral force on each side of the mould string (3) and moving in an advancing and longitudinal stepwise manner synchronised with the movement provided by the pressure plate (2) of the moulding machine (1), and—a third section (III), in which the transport is effected by means of a walling beam system (6, 7). In this way it is possible to provide a longer high-precision transport than possible when only using either side rail transport or walking beam transport.
