Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of investment casting, and in particular relates to a wax material recovery and processing device. Background Art
[0002] In the investment casting process, the first step is to use model wax to produce wax patterns and runner wax to produce runners. After the wax patterns and runners are formed, the shell is prepared and then dewaxed with high-temperature steam. The dewaxed wax contains a lot of impurities such as water, shell materials, release agents, and other metal salts. Wax recycling equipment can save costs by processing and recycling the wax in the factory.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, a fully enclosed wax material rapid recovery and processing equipment for precision casting disclosed in CN 209632057 U recovers the wax material through a series of slag boiling box, acid boiling box, and primary sedimentation box, and separates the wax liquid in the waste mold shell, and the wax liquid flows into the acid boiling box and the primary sedimentation box. The acid boiling box is used to saponify the wax liquid, and the primary sedimentation box is used to filter the saponified wax liquid. However, for high-temperature alloy precision casting in the investment casting process, the wax material used contains a large amount of filler, making it difficult to recover the wax material by dehydration and precipitation. Therefore, in the process of high-precision alloy precision casting, the wax material is usually recycled as solid waste, and the wax material cannot be recycled at the original factory, which not only brings economic losses, but also brings energy burden. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a wax material recovery and processing device to solve the problem in the prior art that it is difficult to recover the wax material in the process of high-temperature alloy precision casting.
[0005] To this end, the present invention provides a wax material recovery and processing device, comprising a first stirring device, a centrifugal device and a second stirring device, wherein the first stirring device is connected to the centrifugal device through a first pipeline, and the centrifugal device is connected to the second stirring device through a second pipeline, and a steam generator is arranged on the first pipeline.
[0006] Preferably, the first stirring device includes a first stirring tank, a first feeding pipe is arranged on the first stirring tank, a first discharging pipe is arranged at the bottom of the first stirring tank, a first conveying pump is arranged on the first discharging pipe, and a valve is respectively arranged on the first feeding pipe and the first discharging pipe.
[0007] Preferably, a mesh screen is provided in the first feed pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a buffer device is further included, and the buffer device is connected to the second stirring device through a third pipeline.
[0012] Preferably, a filtering device is provided on the third pipeline.
[0013] Preferably, the filtering device comprises a filter, a fourth feed pipe is arranged above the filter, a fourth discharge pipe is arranged below the filter, and a valve is respectively arranged on the fourth feed pipe and the fourth discharge pipe.
[0014] Preferably, the buffer device comprises a buffer tank, a fifth feed pipe is arranged above the buffer tank, and a fifth discharge pipe is arranged at the bottom of the buffer tank.
[0015] Beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. The present invention provides a wax material recovery and processing device, which realizes the process steps of coarse filtration, centrifugation, water distillation and fine filtration through the integrated first stirring device, the centrifugal device and the second stirring device, so as to recover the wax material of high-temperature alloy precision casting, so that the treated wax material can meet the requirements of wax material purity, and can be directly used for high-temperature alloy precision casting in the foundry, thereby improving the recovery efficiency of the wax material, occupying a small space, being easy to operate and saving production costs.
[0017] 2. In the prior art, the wax is generally recovered by dehydration and precipitation. However, for high-temperature alloy precision casting in the investment casting process, the wax used contains a large amount of fillers, making it impossible to recover the wax by conventional methods. The present invention can effectively separate the wax from the fillers by stirring in the first stirring tank and then centrifuging in a centrifuge, thereby improving the purity of the wax, and the ash content is less than 0.02%.
[0018] 3. In the prior art, the dehydration and precipitation methods require a cooking tank and a sedimentation tank, which occupy a large area and the cost of establishing a recovery device in the foundry is high. In the present invention, solid-liquid impurities are separated by centrifugation, and no sedimentation tank is required. The structure is compact and the area occupied is small, thereby saving production costs. The treated wax can be directly recycled in the foundry, and the recovery rate can reach more than 65%.

Among them, the material enters the first stirring tank 11 from the first feed pipe 12 after coarse filtration through the mesh screen, and the first stirring tank 11 stirs and heats the material, so as to improve the efficiency of subsequent centrifugal separation. After stirring and heating, the material is output to the first pipeline 4 through the first discharge pipe 13.
[0031] The second stirring device 2 includes a second stirring tank 21, a second feeding pipe 22 is provided on the second stirring tank 21, a second discharging pipe 23 is provided at the bottom of the second stirring tank 21, and a second delivery pump 24 is provided on the second discharging pipe 23.

The present invention can effectively separate the wax material from the filler by stirring with the first stirring tank 11 and then centrifuging with the centrifuge 31, thereby improving the purity of the wax material, and the ash content is less than 0.02%.
[0033] The buffer device 8 is also included, and the buffer device 8 is connected to the second stirring device 2 through a third pipe 9. The buffer device 8 includes a buffer tank 81, a fifth feed pipe 82 is arranged above the buffer tank 81, and a fifth discharge pipe 83 is arranged at the bottom of the buffer tank 81.

[0035] Working principle: The heated and melted waste wax is fed into the first stirring tank 11 through the first feeding pipe 12, and the mesh screen in the first feeding pipe 12 performs coarse filtration on the waste wax. A demulsifier is added to the first stirring tank 11, and the amount used is 1 / 10,000 to 10 / 10,000 of the waste wax, so as to facilitate better separation of the wax material and the filler. The first stirring tank 11 is stirred at a high speed within the range of 90 degrees to 100 degrees for 1-2 hours to improve the subsequent centrifugal efficiency.
[0036] The wax material is separated into solid and liquid by the centrifuge 31 , the solid part enters the waste recovery tank 35 through the waste discharge port 34 , and the liquid part is discharged through the third discharge pipe 33 and enters the second stirring tank 21 through the second pipeline 5 .
[0037] Flocculant, chelating agent and filter aid are added into the second stirring tank 21, stirred and heated with distilled water. When the temperature of the wax liquid exceeds 120 degrees, the wax liquid is discharged from the second discharge pipe 23, finely filtered through the filtering device 7 and then enters the buffer tank 81 for use.
[0038] The wax recovery device of the present invention can separate the wax from the filler in the process of high-precision alloy precision casting and remove solid impurities through continuous coarse filtration, centrifugal filtration, water distillation and fine filtration steps, so that the treated wax can meet the most stringent requirements of national and international standards for wax purity, that is, the ash content is less than 0.02%, and the recovery rate can reach more than 65%.
[0039] Assuming that a foundry processes 300 tons of wax per year, the average unit price of wax is 25 yuan per kilogram, and the cost savings are 300*65%*25*1000=4.875 million yuan, which can save more than 4 million yuan per year.
