摘要

The mold closing machine has two mold carriers (1,2), to which casting mold sections (5,6) are fixed. The casting mold sections are selectively transferrable into an opening position or into a closing position. A traction mechanism (11) is provided at a mold carrier, which exerts traction force on another mold carrier. The mold carriers are pivoted around a horizontal axis for bringing the closing position on each other and for bringing the opening position away from each other.
