Casting is one of the basic technology of modern machinery manufacturing industry. Casting as a metal thermal processing technology, in China's development is gradually mature. Casting machinery is to use this technology to metal melting into a liquid and poured into the mold meet certain requirements, solidified by cooling, after clearing of a predetermined shape, size and performance of the castings can be used to all the machinery and equipment, also known as the casting equipment.
Casting machinery is generally based on the modeling method of classification, traditionally divided into a sand casting and special casting. The sand casting, including wet sand, core shooting equipment, dry sand, chemical hardening sand casting into three categories. Special Casting modeling different materials can be divided into two categories: a class of natural mineral sand and gravel as the molding material, such as investment casting, shell casting, vacuum casting, clay casting, pattern casting, ceramics mold casting; a class of metal as the main mold material such as metal casting, centrifugal casting, continuous casting, pressure die casting, low pressure die casting
