Mold Manipulators
Economical, Simple, Rugged

For over 25 years, the Quiptec Mold Manipulator has provided the modern foundry with an efficient and economical device to lift, rotate, position and close different types of chemically bonded sand molds. Careful attention to design detail has resulted in a rugged, compact production tool. Both manual clamp pad rotation and power clamp pad rotation are available.

Features:

  • Mold capacities range from 700 lbs to 15,000 lbs

  • Two-hand operator engagement is required for both “clamp” and “unclamp” functions

  • Even if power to the mold manipulator is cut, the unit continues to apply clamping pressure and is “fail-safe”

  • Battery-powered models are available
