Release Agent Application Tunnel

To facilitate the release of Wet Cast stones from the mold during the demolding process, it is important to apply a release agent before filling the molds. The release agent application chamber allows an automatic and uniform selective application. The nozzles are angularly and horizontally adjustable. Every nozzle is independently activated. Each mold design can have an individually programmed application pattern.


Operation

A pressurized reservoir feeds the release agent to the nozzles. A valve block connected to the PLC controls and activates each nozzle in the sequence of application chosen for the treatment of the mold. A sensor indicates the beginning of the mold and the application is performed while the mold is in movement. In order to optimize the application on molds of different heights, the upper part of the application chamber and the nozzles are pneumatically adjustable.
