  • Patent number: 6546994
    Abstract: In a process and in a device (10) for preparing the mold walls (12a, 12b) of a mold (12, 12) for the molding or shaping of a molded part after completion of the molding cycle and after removal of the molded part from the mold (12) to make the mold walls ready for the next molding cycle, the tempering of the mold walls (12a, 12b) and the coating of the walls with mold wall treatment agent are carried out independently of each other, i.e., without any time overlap, and in a controlled manner, preferably in a program-controlled manner. To apply the coating, preferably a spray element with centrifugal atomization and air control is used, the mold walls preferably being coated with essentially solvent-free mold wall treatment agent.

  • Patent number: 6040278
    Abstract: A water-free composition for treating the walls of a die for original shaping or reshaping contains up to 30% of a polyolefin and/or paraffin wax and at least 70% of oil, where the oil is a silicone oil, a synthetic oil, a vegetable oil, a mineral oil, or a blend of several such oils. To produce a water-free composition according to the invention, one or more waxes are mixed with the oil or oils and any additives desired until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The water-free release/lubricating agents according to the invention are used especially to treat the walls of a die for shaping or reshaping.

  • Patent number: 5524829
    Abstract: A spray element for use with a mold sprayer of the type used to spray a mold prior to or between cycles of a manufacturing operation such as die-casting, drop forging or other operations involving the working of metals. The spray element includes a valve body having an internal elastic pretension. The valve body may be positioned in either an open or closed position in relation to a valve seat. A control pressure is applied, through a separate feed line, to the valve body to open and close the valve by forcing the valve body against or away from the valve seat. The spray element also includes a feed line supplying working air which cooperates with an atomizer attached to a feed line supplying a working medium to the atomizer to atomize the working medium when the valve body is actuated.
