A foundry core drying oven dries and bakes sand cores, mould coatings and moulds before metal is poured. Moisture left in a core turns to steam when it meets molten metal, causing gas holes, blows and scrap castings, so thorough drying is essential.
MV International custom builds foundry core drying ovens for ferrous and non-ferrous foundries. They are designed for sand casting, investment casting and lost-foam casting, and for the long, rugged service that foundry conditions demand.

How the Foundry Core Drying Oven Works
Cores on racks or trolleys are rolled in and heated in circulating hot air. Moisture and binder vapours are exhausted, and the oven holds the bake temperature until the cores reach full strength and are moisture-free.

Foundry Core Drying Oven FAQs
Why must foundry cores be dried?
Moisture in cores creates gas when molten metal is poured, causing blow holes and porosity. Drying prevents this.
What temperature is used to dry cores?
It depends on the binder and coating. Typically 150-250°C for core baking and lower for coating drying.
What is the difference from a core drying oven?
It is the same application with a foundry-specific design. See also our core drying oven.
What is the price of a Foundry Core Drying Oven?
The price of a foundry core drying oven depends on chamber size, maximum temperature, heating media (electric, gas, diesel or steam), material of construction and the control system. Share your load details, process temperature and cycle time, and MV International will send a detailed quotation, usually within 24 hours.
Can you supply the Foundry Core Drying Oven to buyers abroad?
Yes. Along with supplying all over India, we export the foundry core drying oven to the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Ovens are built for your local power supply and shipped with complete documentation and commissioning support.
