WCM60 Pressure Casting System for Sanitaryware

Our pressure casting plant WCM60 is used for the efficient forming of toilets with open flush rim and bidets as well as of rimless toilet bowls made of ceramic slip (e.g. vitreous china/VC and fine fire clay/FFC) by hollow or solid casting.

The machine is designed for molds made of porous synthetic material and consisting of four to five parts. The articles will be cast in so-called upside-down position.

For the production of box rim toilets, an additional, lower-level pressure casting plant of our WRM60 series will be added to the main plant.

The mold parts will be brought together in a predefined closing sequence before being locked hydraulically. During casting, the closing pressure will be adjusted to the increasing slip pressure inside the mold.

The articles will be removed in a controlled manner and with little deformation by means of a robot. For the production of box rim toilets, the robot will additionally fix the water rim to the body of the toilet.

The molded articles are removed in a controlled and low-deformation procedure by a robot. In the production of WCs with closed water rim, the robot additionally garnishes the water ring on the WC body.
