Many Brazilian foundries use Vigrel vibratory shake-outs from Mavi mainly because of the rugged and long lasting executions and Mavi´s adaptability to project variations, allowing these machine to suit existing installations.
Shake-outs are primarily used to separate sand from the castings and sometimes help sand to better disintegrate its lumps.
There are constant flow executions (the castings travel over the perforated deck separating the sand which is later reprocessed) or stationary units where large or smaller castings in their boxes are positioned by means of cranes onto the platform and vibration separates sand and iron. For not automated operations or mainly very large castings.
For more on that please contact Mavi.
