DISA 231

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The DISA 231 is an advanced moulding machine that builds on the DISA 230, offering enhanced precision, flexibility, and reliability. It is designed to meet the demands of modern foundries with high capacity and superior quality.

Reliability and Flexibility
The machine features a simplified hydraulic system for increased reliability and uptime. The control system is updated to the latest standards, ensuring precision and ease of use. The Automatic Mould Conveyor (AMC) has been redesigned for better control and reliability.

The Automatic Pattern Change unit (APC) allows for rapid pattern changes, significantly reducing downtime. The machine is capable of handling complex mould shapes and optimizes the use of the pattern plate area.

Technical Specifications
The DISA 231 can produce up to 510 uncored moulds per hour with minimal mismatch, reducing the need for trimming. It supports various mould dimensions and offers options for cooling time and sand consumption.

Performance and Efficiency
The machine is equipped with a state-of-the-art PLC system that optimizes production speed and accuracy. It ensures a machine-dependent mismatch of less than 0.10 mm, minimizing the need for machining.

Operational Benefits
The DISA 231 offers user-friendly operation with a VDU for clear operator overview and troubleshooting. It uses standardized wear parts and provides options for remote diagnostics to maximize uptime.

Sustainability and Safety
The machine is designed to be environmentally friendly, with features like in-chamber spray to improve air quality and reduce spray liquid consumption. It uses energy-efficient hydraulic systems and is manufactured according to ISO 14001 standards.

Optional Features
Additional options include the Synchronised Belt Conveyor (SBC) for extended cooling zones, Sand Spillage Conveyor (SSC), and Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) modules for process monitoring and optimization.

Conclusion
The DISA 231 is a high-performance moulding machine that offers significant benefits in terms of speed, accuracy, and operational efficiency, making it a valuable asset for modern foundries.
