The Short Cycle

 

 

The most convincing arguments in favour of MECOBOND® are economic. Reductions in cycle time of up to 50% have been recorded for serialproduction tooling.

The systematic high cooling capacity dramatically shortens the solidification and cooling times for castings of all types, whether they are thin-walled parts with large surface areas, or more compact ones with widely differing wall thicknesses.

Example

In a steel mold, the "average" distance of the water-cooling system from the mold contour is 25 mm. The thickness of the steel contour in the MECOBOND® mold on the other hand, is 6 mm, while the distance of the water from the contour remains unchanged.

In this case, the MECOBOND® mold has four times the cooling capacity of the steel mold. This in turn leads to a considerable reduction in the solidification and cooling periods within the casting cycle.
