# Foundry Moulder
|
|
|
|
Foundry moulders manufacture cores for metal moulds, which are used to fill a space in the mould that must remain unfilled during casting. They use wood, plastic or other materials to create the core, selected to withstand the extreme environment of a metal mould.
|
|
|
|
## Core workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Clean and smooth molds, cores, and core boxes, and repair surface imperfections.
|
|
2. Move and position workpieces, such as mold sections, patterns, and bottom boards, using cranes, or signal others to move workpieces.
|
|
3. Sprinkle or spray parting agents onto patterns and mold sections to facilitate removal of patterns from molds.
|
|
4. Position patterns inside mold sections, and clamp sections together.
|
|
5. Position cores into lower sections of molds, and reassemble molds for pouring.
|
|
6. Sift and pack sand into mold sections, core boxes, and pattern contours, using hand or pneumatic ramming tools.
|
|
7. Cut spouts, runner holes, and sprue holes into molds.
|
|
8. Lift upper mold sections from lower sections, and remove molded patterns.
