As World's leaders in core making technology, we offer a comprehensive range of solutions. Today, there is Loramendi's equipment running at all the top foundries, with proven outstanding performance. We can supply TURN - KEY INSTALLATIONS for the automatic production of core packages using the patented Key Core or gluing core interlocking systems, or individual machines for single core production.
 New SLC core making machine
The latest model of Loramendi's core making machines for horizontal and vertical parted tooling. Now, a new generation has been developed by improving our own design. The new SLC sets the highest standards with astonishingly short cycle times and optimised corebox and production changes. It produces cores of superior quality thanks to its Advanced Blow System, minimising the sand lost during blow plate change and increasing tooling life. This is a truly user friendly core maker, robust and flexible, with continuos clamping and no core box movement during the entire blow and cure cycle.

As with the previous models, no special foundations, pits or operator platforms are required. Cores are unloaded at a convenient height for the operator, facilitating easy core handling. PLC controlled, it incorporates integrated blow plate and blow head cleaning systems and built-in exhaust connections to capture residual gases directly from the core box.
 Advanced Blow System
Loramendi's ADVANCED BLOW SYSTEM provides highest quality, finless cores with constant dimensions. It enhances core density and therefore less resin is needed. Lower blow pressure results in reduced air consumption and less tooling wear. This extends the core box life.
Lower blow pressure and reduced resin content result in cleaner tooling and the core box can remain in production longer. With less cleaning intervals, production uptime rises. Another advantage of the lower blow pressure is the reduction of vents needed in the tooling, reducing tooling cost and maintenance.
This blow system does not fluidise the sand. The machine is equipped with a photocell to precisely control the sand level in the blow magazine as required by the correspondent core weight. This ensures constant quality sand with optimum bench life.
 The SHA core making machine
The all-time classic for horizontally parted tooling. Several versions have been supplied: the SHAC, with core removal by hand or manipulator, the SHAR with belt conveyor for core removal from upper half core box, the SHAR with core picker fork, and the SHA (G) with tilting bottom half core box, which ejects cores on tray. As with the SLC range, continuos clamping guarantees optimum quality cores. And it is controlled by a PLC that allows running the machine in Automatic, Semiautomatic or Manual modes.

The SHA model is also supplied with integrated blow head and blow plate cleaning system to aid maintenance and keep clean tooling. Cores are blown using Loramendi's Advanced Blow System.

 The SVA core making machine
The SVA model has been optimised for vertically parted tooling, with bottom mandrel and optionally top mandrel. Core boxes are constantly closed under high pressure with no movement during the cycle, resulting in dimensionally accurate cores with no fins. The integrated blow plate and blow head cleaning system is fast and easy to use, making sure that no sand is spilled inside the machine. Cores are blown using Loramendi's Advanced Blow System.
The SVA model offers a flexible core unloading system. It can use a belt, a tray or a manipulator for this purpose. Controlled by a PLC that allows running the machine in Automatic, Semiautomatic or Manual modes.
 Core box change
Production change is key to production efficiency. Through years of Research, Loramendi has devised several ways of doing so to reduce the time required and simplify the operation.
 Core box fast changing shuttle
A dual-station carriage at the back of the machine performs the change. The used core box comes out to the 1st station with the blow and gassing plates on top, while the new tooling (core box + blow plate + gassing plate) is waiting on the 2nd station, to enter the machine when the used set is out.
 Manipulator

A especially purpose-built manipulator at the back of the machine takes the used core box and pilled plates from the machine to a storage station. Then, it takes the new set of tooling from a second storage station to the machine. A further possibility of this manipulator is to use it to clean the core box.
 The SLC - K
This variation of the SLC core maker changes production in less than a minute thanks to the core box turning table and side-blow plate change.
 Front change

There is the possibility of changing the core box, blow and gassing plates through the machine front. The set exits the machine to a position where it can be taken out manually.
