Load Turning Device

In the production process of a foundry, casting moulds need to be weighted. These moulds with a height of up to 5 m stand in a pit for the casting operation. Covers are placed on the moulds for closing them. In order to ensure that they stay on the mould when casting, they are weighted with up to 30 tons. In the past, this process was time-consuming and hazardous because handling of the individual weights is quite difficult.

How Does It Help Moulding Boxes Rotation?

The moulding box play a vital role in the foundry industry, a molding box divided into two halves (known as casting flask) is prepared to receive the pattern.

Heavy moulding boxes with a total weight of up to 50 tons - it is hardly imaginable that such monsters can be rotated once around their own axis while hanging freely.

The drive wheel distance of the KFCS load turning devices is adjustable between 2,500 and 7,200 mm so that boxes of different sizes can be handled. The load's centre of gravity is automatically compensated by parallel travel of the drive units so that the load is balanced at all times. An operator uses a remote control to navigate the impressive process from a safe distance.

Safety For Your Employees

The load turning device enables the user to accurately observe the positioning of the object. Lifting and turning devices come with a remote control for this purpose. Workers can operate the lift and change the position of the object with a simple push of a button whenever necessary.

Mobility and Versatility

Mobility is a major advantage of rotating lifting devices. They are versatile and can be used in any part of your manufacturing plant or factory. Whether your employees need a lift in a different area of the factory, to an outdoor area where components are being assembled, or in an entirely different building on your property, a rotating lift device can be used wherever a weight-tested hook is installed.
