Sand Moulding Boxes Chain Load Turning Device Exported to Bolivia

KUNFENG load turning device is a lifting and rotating equipment designed to work in conjunction with overhead crane, enabling the safe turning and handling of sand boxes, molds and other heavy box-type workpieces. The turning device features dual-chain synchronous drive system, allowing smooth and controlled rotation of loads from 0° to 360° through motorized operation.

Our engineering team customized the turning system with an automatic load-balancing chain mechanism, ensuring even load distribution and stable operation throughout the rotation process. This design effectively eliminates the safety risks associated with traditional manual-assisted turning methods while improving operational efficiency and workplace safety.

Advantages of Chain Load Turning Device

• Constructed with high quality alloy steel chains and high strength load-bearing structure design to ensure stable operation even under heavy-load working conditions, effectively extending the service life of the equipment.

• Provides precise load rotation from 0° to 360°, enabling accurate positioning and enhanced operational safety during handling and turning processes.

• Features a torque-balanced design that maintains even load distribution throughout the rotation process, significantly reducing impact forces and protecting the integrity of the sand mold structure.

• Adjustable lifting point spacing allows the turning device to accommodate different sand box sizes, offering excellent versatility and future scalability.

• The entire structure is treated with anti-corrosion coatings and reinforced surface finishing, making it well-suited for the demanding operating environments commonly found in South American foundries and metal casting facilities.

Project Implementation Results

After delivery, installation, and on-site commissioning of the load turning system, the client's production line achieved significant improvements in the sand box handling and turning process:

• Turning efficiency increased by more than 55%.

• Manual labor involvement was significantly reduced.

• Sand mold damage rates decreased by approximately 80%.

• Workplace safety was greatly enhanced.

• Perfect compatibility with the existing overhead crane
