O.M.LER srl can offer its worldwide customers several decoring solutions with high standard quality levels. Let’s discover them in detail!

Pneumatic decoring hammers for foundry and monitoring system Thor V4.0
O.M.LER srl has in cooperation with its sister company O.M.LER 2000 designed and manufactured the pneumatic decoring hammer for foundries for several years. The O.M.LER decoring hammer is used to remove the sand core from cast iron, aluminium and steel castings which are produced in foundries using the gravity, low pressure and lost wax process.

Two different decoring hammer models are available, RVC70 and AF1470, and each one has three versions, Standard, MBR and MBL, depending on the casting type to decore. For each model and each version, the AIR-equipment is available: This special equipment is highly recommended if the hammers work in a decoring station with rotation movement or if they work from the bottom upwards.

To check the hammer’s performances during operation O.M.LER recommends using the monitoring system Thor V4.0: A dedicated device that detects the hammer’s frequency by beating. Each device can monitor up to 4 channels (4 hammers) and interface with the main PLC protocols. It is available both with Profinet and with Profibus interface.

Decoring bench
O.M.LER srl designs and manufactures decoring benches according to individual customer’s requirements. A decoring bench is a fixed decoring station where the pneumatic decoring hammers are fastened to the structure and after the necessary adjustments they work in a fixed position, both vertically and horizontally. The hammers used are usually from 1 up to 4. O.M.LER’s decoring bench is the right solution to decore small batch castings.

With this kind of equipment, the castings can be manually or automatically loaded and unloaded, using a robot outside the decoring unit. The castings to be decored will always be placed in the same preset housing that has to be manufactured according to casting size. Furthermore, the unit is placed in a certified soundproof cabin which can contain inside a hopper to collect sand or a conveyor belt to carry outside the sand removed by the casting.

Decoring machine DCB18
The new decoring machine DCB18 is an innovative piece of equipment because it can continuously rotate up to 360° in both rotation directions without stopping the beating action of the pneumatic decoring hammers fastened to its structure. This makes it possible to remove sand cores from foundry castings in a more efficient way. The decoring machine DCB18 allows the simultaneous decoring of several cast iron, aluminium and steel foundry castings using at least a couple of hammers. So, for this reason, O.M.LER’s decoring machine DCB18 is the right equipment to decore big batch castings. 

It is equipped with housings where from 2 up to 4 castings can be placed. The housings can be designed and manufactured according to customers’ requests. The castings positioning in the housings can happen both manually or automatically using a robot outside the decoring machine. Furthermore, with this kind of decoring machine no eccentric masses are used, reducing in this way the frame resonance. The machine is placed inside a soundproof cabin manufactured in accordance to the European regulations EN 1090-1:2009+A1:2011 and UNI EN ISO 11690-1. The cabin can contain a hopper or a conveyor belt to take out the removed sand.
