Abstract:
A system ( 100 ) for impregnation of castings is disclosed. The system ( 100 ) comprises a basket ( 10 ) and a gantry ( 50 ). The basket ( 10 ) includes a plurality of bins ( 12 ) and a stub ( 14 ) configured thereon. The plurality of bins ( 12 ) is adapted for holding the castings thereon and is lined with a partition sheet having a plurality of perforations ( 12 A) and plurality of slots ( 12 B) configured thereon. The gantry ( 50 ) includes grippers ( 16 ) configured thereon. The system ( 100 ) is designed to allow partial or full loading of the basket ( 10 ) with different castings held therein in a balanced manner to be impregnated without being damaged. The system ( 100 ) prevents excess sealant consumption from basket surfaces as well as prevents sticking of the sealant on gripper's pins ( 15 ) thereby preventing frequent blockage/jamming issues.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for impregnation of castings, the system comprising: a basket adapted for being loaded with multiple castings and removably placed in a vacuum chamber for impregnation of the castings with a sealant; a storage chamber for storing the sealant; a valve connected to and in fluid communication with the vacuum chamber and the storage chamber, wherein the valve is configured to control flow of the sealant to and from the storage chamber into the vacuum chamber, wherein the basket comprises:\n (i) a plurality of bins fitted in the basket and configured to hold the castings thereon without causing the castings to come in contact with each other during impregnation of castings, the plurality of bins being lined with a partition sheet, the partition sheet configured with a plurality of perforations and a plurality of slots, the plurality of perforations adapted to provide water jet washing effect during wash and hot cure cycles of washing and curing the castings, the plurality of slots adapted to provide complete access to the water for any holes in the castings for better washablity, and (ii) a stub configured on each of first and opposite ends of the basket for orientation thereof; and a gantry configured to lift the basket for placement thereof into the vacuum chamber before the impregnation of the castings, to remove the basket from the vacuum chamber after the return of the sealant to the storage chamber, and to place the loaded basket in subsequent chambers after the impregnation of the castings, the gantry having at least one gripper configured for gripping and lifting the basket through the stubs, the at least one gripper comprising pins configured thereon to prevent sticking of the sealant, thereby preventing jamming of the system.
