Description

[0002] In the entire process of investment casting, shell making is one of the main production steps. The shell is generally prepared layer by layer through slurry application and sand application. The preparation of the shell usually requires several or even more than a dozen layers. Therefore, the shell making process is relatively long. After the shell is prepared, the wax material inside the shell needs to be removed by dewaxing to obtain a shell with cavities for casting. Using a shell with multiple slurry application and sand application can reduce the generation of surface cracks in the cast steel shell. Currently, slurry application and sand application are carried out on a circular conveyor production line. The conveyor production line is equipped with a circular conveyor chain with hangers that can hang the wax pattern tree. The hangers can carry the wax pattern tree down into the slurry application tank for slurry application treatment.

[0003] Currently, the slurry dipping tank is generally fixed, and wax model trees of different sizes are all dipped in the same slurry dipping tank. Therefore, some people have proposed that a slurry dipping tank with adjustable slurry capacity according to the size of the wax model tree is needed, so as to avoid slurry waste.
