Pneumatic Sand Ramming Machine : Mechanical project

Moulding is one of the important metals forming process in manufacturing components for various applications in industry. Casting of any size and shape can be made accurately. Automation in this field helps to improve the foundry environment and accuracy of the cast parts. Efficiency of moulding is affected by various parameters like permeability, collapsibility, adhesiveness etc. So it is a must to avoid defects in casting. The defects occur in sand castings post a great problem in foundry. On account of defects more than 10% castings are rejected. Even though skilled labor is employed for ramming operation, the packing of molding sand will not be even throughout the molding box. So we have selected the idea of fabricating “PNEUMATIC RAMMER”. This rammer is operated pneumatically. By using this rammer moulding sand will be packed evenly throughout the box.
INTRODUCTION
The pneumatic rammer is used for ramming the sand uniformly around the pattern. It can be used even in small scale industries. To operate this rammer an air compressor is needed. A butt which is attached to the bottom of the piston rod does the operation of ramming. The pressure developed inside the cylinder reciprocates the piston and hence the butt. This rammer is handled by an operator just by moving it over the moulding sand.
The butt rams the sand at places moved and the sand is uniformly rammed. This rammer reduces the ramming time and labor. Due to this the cost is reduced considerably. So this machine finds application in foundries.
