Belt conveyor MCC® - Magaldi Casting Cooler

One of the main issues in high-quality castings production is the efficiency of the cooling process, influenced by the casting residence time inside the tunnel. Cooling time varies depending on production volumes, casting size, available spaces, and other unpredictable factors. A flexible system, able to control the cooling process and adapt to specific production needs is, therefore, the key to success. Typically installed between the shakeout and the blasting machine, the MCC® is comprised of: • the Superbelt® conveyor as key component. The belt design is based on a multi-link concept which ensures redundancy, little to no maintenance, and trouble-free continuous operation, thus avoiding costly disruptions. • A cooling tunnel held under negative pressure. A stream of ambient air is pulled through the extremities of the cooling tunnel and exits through the central hood. The cooling air flows at a controlled speed over the castings to cool them down to the requested temperature while avoiding thermal shocks and/or other microstructural defects.
