What is match plate molding?

Matchplate moulding employs a plate with patterns mounted on both sides. The DISA MATCH moulding machine’s version of the process incorporates the unique DISAMATIC vertical blow/squeeze method, proven to optimally distribute sand, minimise pattern wear and consistently produce hard, accurate moulds.

What is match plate and where it is used?

Split patterns attached on either side are known as the match plate patterns. In match plate pattern the cope and drags portions mounted on opposite sides of a plate (usually metallic) called the match plate. Match plate pattern is used for small casting with higher accuracy.

Which material is used for making a match plate pattern?

Explanation: A match plate pattern is made in two halves mounted on both sides called match plate. This match plate is made of either aluminum or wood. The match plate is placed between the cope and the drag flasks by using locating pins.

What is the difference between a split pattern and a match plate pattern?

What is the difference between a split pattern and a match-plate pattern? – Split pattern: consists of two pieces, dividing the part along a plane where the two halves align. – Match-plate pattern: The two halves are to the opposite sides of a wood or metal plate. You just studied 13 terms!

What are the specific advantages of match plate patterns?

The major advantage to this is that a single machine can make both cope and drag molds from one pattern (in cope and drag molding, separate patterns, and possibly separate machines, are used to make the mold halves).

What is the difference between a match plate pattern and a cope and drag pattern?

Match plate pattern It is used to simultaneous production of both drag and cope molds. The cope and drag flask is prepared on two sides of this match plate. The match plate is removed after molding, the complete mold obtained by joining two pieces of mold.

What is green sand Moulding?

Green sand moulding is a flexible, fast and low-cost way to produce moulds for high quality ferrous and non-ferrous castings. Green sand is composed of silica sand mixed with water, bentonite and other additives, such as coal dust for iron applications.

Which material is not used for making pattern?

Explanation: Oil is used as fuels for melting metals in various furnaces. It cannot be used for constructing a pattern, while all other materials are used for making patterns.

What is the difference between match plate pattern and cope and drag pattern?

What is multi piece pattern?

Multi Piece Pattern This kind of pattern includes 3 or more pattern which helps you achieve mold making. The pattern is made of the top, bottom, and middle parts. The top part is cope, the bottom part drag, and the middle parts are called as checkbox.

What are the 2 types of patterns?

There are different types of number patterns in Mathematics. They are: Arithmetic Sequence. Geometric Sequence.

What is a match match plate?

Match plates are also integrally cast in which cast pattern and plate are cast as one piece in sand or plaster molds. It is used with so me type of molding machine, in order to obtain maximum speed of molding.

What is the molding procedure for a match plate?

The molding procedure is the same as a one sided mounted plate. In most cases all the necessary gating runners, etc., are built right on the plate. The match plate might have only one pattern or a large quantity of small patterns.

Why choose a Disa match mould machine?

With rapid, precise pattern changes and an easy-to-use operator interface, the DISA MATCH enables jobbing foundries to achieve the lowest cost per casting – even for short runs. The DISA MATCH 14/19, 16/20 and 20/24 machine can reach speeds of up to 180 uncored moulds per hour.
