Higher squeeze force, lighter and more accurate castings

MultiflexFM is a fully hydraulic, floor-mounted high pressure moulding machine for MSME foundries. Its squeeze pressure of 6 to 12 kg/cm² (adjustable) compares with 1.5 on a jolt squeeze machine, so moulds are denser and more accurate.

  • Seven models, HSQ-1 to FM-3, for boxes from 250 mm round to 1300 x 1100 mm
  • 10 to 150 moulds an hour
  • Noise below 85 dB, against over 110 dB
  • 12.5 HP connected load, against 30 HP
  • RoboFM robotic handling available for moulds and cores
  • Piston ring moulding is part of the HSQ series

In more detail

Higher squeeze force gives more consistent casting weight and dimensions, so castings can be 2 to 5% lighter. Rhino’s indicative figures: 30% energy saving in the machine, 50% in machining and 2% in material. Hydraulic drive is about 85% efficient against 30% for compressed air, and a plant breaks even at 25% of its capacity.

All figures are indicative and depend on the foundry and its operating conditions.
