VIHY KASTMASTER

System benefits:

◎ Fully automatic operation:

Kastmaster automation reduces labor costs and enables precise repeatable production cycles, so that all products have the same high quality. The machine is designed with an infeed shuttle that automatically feeds pallets and reinforcement to the production station as a corresponding outfeed shuttle transports finished products to a pickup position.

◎ Rational - linear - production flow:

Kastmaster dual shuttle carts organize the feeding of pallets and cages into the machine from one side and the unloading of finished products from the other side to the pick-up point. One operator can easily monitor and control the machine from a centrally located console. The machine's design ensures easy access to both shuttle cars to undertake necessary auxiliary operations while the machine is in operation.

◎ Production flexibility:

To maximize production flexibility, the molds are designed as stand-alone modules connected to the machine by hydraulic clamps that allow them to be changed over in just 30 minutes.

In addition, the Kastmaster can be equipped with various vibrating systems, including, for example, a vibrating table for the production of concrete pipes, manholes and slab-type products.

In addition, a mold turning device can be added to the Kastmaster so that products made in rotary molds can be turned 180° before being de-molded.

◎  Production versatility

The Kastmaster can be equipped to manufacture round, oval, arch, and box-shaped  concrete products in diameters up to 2000mm x 2.5m lengths – as well as jacking pipe, lined pipe, and the full range of manhole riser, cone, and base products.

◎ De-molding in the machine - no overhead crane required:

Products are produced and disassembled in the machine, saving construction and equipment costs by eliminating the need for a factory crane.

◎ Handling:

The VIHY Kastmaster can be operated by a single operator without extensive training.

The machine has fully automated production, including de-molding and unloading of the finished product. The feeding of pallets and reinforcing steel into the machine is also automated. Finished products can be removed manually using a cart or with automated robotics. The underground casting station provides a safe working environment for the machine operator and a comfortably low noise level.
