Manifolds
Spray manifolds can be designed to fit each die caster's specific application. The standard type of manifold is a straight bar which lends itself to general die spray by sweeping and dwelling at multiple positions. The custom manifold sprays at a singular dwell location and can be designed to spray dies faster and with less lube promoting longer die life and a quicker start-up. Compared to hand spray, the standard straight bar manifold can reduce spray cycle times by 15% and the custom manifold can reduce the cycle time by 30%.
Standard Manifolds
Rimrock's standard manifolds are designed to mount nozzles in-line on a supply bar of adequate length to accommodate the dies. The nozzle mounting positions and nozzle tip configurations can change on the bar face to coincide with different casting spray requirements.
Custom Spray Manifolds
Rimrock's custom manifolds are designed for a specific die to allow the user to move the manifold to a particular position and precisely spray the die where lube is needed. Not only does this reduce the cycle time by eliminating several die spray positions, but it also reduces the amount of lube required. By utilizing the appropriate nozzle tip, custom manifolds are capable of spraying remote areas on the die such as deep or recessed top, bottom and side cores.
