Lost Foam Molds-Fittings

Eliminate Complex And Expensive Cores
EPC process eliminates the indispensable sand core in ordinary sand casting. The fixed and movable movable blocks in the EPC mold form a similar shape to the sand core in the foam model, that is, the shape in the casting.

    Casting Hole
    In other types of casting methods, casting holes can be obtained through sand cores or by machining (e.g. drilling). For each casting, whether the casting hole has its corresponding characteristics, but in general, the casting hole reduces the cost of subsequent machining. Through special mold design such as the use of pins. The mandrel or other mechanism can make the casting hole directly on the mold.

    Reduce The Processing Allowance
    The correct EPC mold design can reduce the weight of the casting by reducing the inclination of the die and the machining allowance. This flexible design is not possible in many other casting methods. It is one of the biggest advantages of the EPC process.

    One of the key points of our comprehensive lost foam mold design is the ability to easily create casting holes directly on the mold. In other casting methods, casting holes are typically obtained through sand cores or machining. However, our innovative mold design utilizes special mechanisms such as pins and mandrels to create casting holes directly on the mold. This not only reduces the need for subsequent machining but also helps in reducing overall costs.

    Plant-Specific Molding Strategy
    Manufacturing approaches must align with facility capabilities. For instance:
    Some foundries employ core assembly techniques for large machine tool beds, eliminating pattern/flask requirements by assembling cores directly in casting pits.
    Others implement conventional flask molding methods with dedicated tooling.
