Richards Engineering Inc. - Foundry Mould, Core Wash, Lost Foam and Shell Drying

	Richards Engineering Inc. A wholly owned subsidiary of Vulcan Engineering Co. Alabama, USA

Specifically designed to dry water based mould & core washes in the minimum time.

	Water based mould and core washes provide an environmentally friendly solution to the replacement of alcohol and other oxygen dependant compounds. The water based slurries are much safer to use and also reduce operator exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOC's). In order for the process flow in the plant not to be disrupted, the extended drying time normally associated with water based coatings must be shortened.
IHF's mould and core wash drying process provides high air transfer to allow the moisture to evaporate rapidly. The oven temperatures may range from low temperature low humidity drying of investment wax shells, to medium temperatures drying for lost foam and replicast shells, to the high temperature drying for sand cores.	Heavy Duty heater box for fast drying of refractory coatings.
	IHF ovens uses several different methods to dry product based on the configuration of the product and its readiness for drying. e.g. Spay on No-bake core washes are dried using high intensity infrared lamps with convection boost for rapid drying. Sand cores which are dipped should always be dried with convection ovens at high temperatures.
Accurate and reliable controls for regulating the drying process	Lost foam push-through style tunnel for drying and /or ageing foams
