Molding machine operated in confined atmosphere has first bowl and mixer on horizontal arms and is controlled from outside of chamber

摘要

A molding machine consists of a mold supported on a table inside a chamber (1) with a confined atmosphere, a first bowl (24) with a mixer (30) located over the table and connected to drives (28.2, 33), and a second bowl above the first, has the first bowl mounted on the end of a horizontal arm (28) projecting through the chamber's transparent wall (4). A molding machine, consisting of a mold supported on a table inside a chamber (1) with a confined atmosphere, a first bowl (24) with a mixer (30) located over the table and connected to drives (28.2, 33), and a second bowl above the first, has the first bowl mounted on the end of a horizontal arm (28) projecting through the chamber's transparent wall (4). The arm is able to pivot and slide through a sealed aperture in the wall, and has a drive motor mounted on its free end outside the chamber. The mixer (30) is able to turn about the bowl's axis, is mounted on a beam (26) fixed to the horizontal arm, and is driven by a second motor (33) and a separable coupling (32.2, 34.1) on an intermediate shaft (32). The table supporting the mold is able to pivot about vertical and horizontal axes, and is also controllable from outside the chamber.
