Sand casting operation
After the mold and the core have been in position, the mold is clamped to prevent the separation of mold sections.
Molten metal is poured into a pouring basin through a sprue and a runner system into a mold cavity.
After solidification, the casting is shaken out of its mold.
The sand is removed by vibration or by sand blasting.
The riser and gates are cut off.
