CAST ON STRAPS MACHINE
COSMEC GROUP cast-on-strap
machine connects battery plates in 4-stage circular machine with rotating
table, which provides access to all stations. The machine handling all type of
batteries, well supported on a hydraulically powered frame, equipped with:
- loading station
- fluxing station
- casting station
- main lead pot, gas heated
- unloading/boxing station
- control panel
- Vibrating table
Loading station
Groups of cell are loaded,
lugs up, onto the loading station. Plates and lugs are aligned via a vibrating
table and clamped in the right position.
The loading jig are universal
types so that only two sets of loading jigs, are
necessary.
Fluxing station
The second stage ensures the
correct welding of the lugs through consecutive brushing and fluxing
operations. First, all lugs pass through surface alteration and then passing to
the fluxing unit to guarantee better attachment of the lead during casting.
Casting station
Mould and secondary lead pot
are parts of the station. The secondary
lead pots are electrically
heated. The lead is fed from the secondary lead pots to the mould by special
discharge cocks controlled by the control panel. Water circulation inside the
mould chills the straps and posts.
When the casting operation is
finished the groups are transferred to the unloading station for the boxing
Unloading station
The casted groups are clamped
and fed to the boxes.
Main pot
The lead, melted by a gas or
electrical system, is fed to the secondary lead pots by
special pumps equipped with control
valves.
Control panel
A dust-tight control panel
with Mitsubishi microprocessor, fuses, isolators and plug-in relays for easy
maintenance is provided
Ventilation and safety
The machine is equipped with a
hood for aspiration of air and it must
be connected to the factory’s
aspiration system.
The machine is safe for people
in charge of its functioning and is conform to the European Safety Regulations
standards. The machine is delivered with conformity declaration (CE)
The machine is designed to
process all types of batteries.
