Automated Mold Changing System For Concrete Product Molding Machines And Methods Of Constructing And Operating The System

View page
US Patent:
6530769, Mar 11, 2003
Filed:
Sep 7, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/656513
Inventors:
Duane A. Rondeau - Alpena MI
James W. DeWyre - Alpena MI
Laurie Delekta - Rogers City MI
Assignee:
Besser Company - Alpena MI
International Classification:
B28B 300
US Classification:
425186, 425195, 425253, 425454, 425432, 29428, 414806, 414815
Abstract:
A concrete product molding machine has a mold removal and replacement mechanism which includes a transfer carriage movable from a location remote from mold supports on the machine along a pathway leading longitudinally abeam of the mold supports. Motor mechanism is activatable for moving a transfer carriage longitudinally adjacent to the machine, moving a cross carriage transversely inward, raising an elevator platform to deposit a mold thereon, returning the cross carriage transversely, and moving the transfer carriage longitudinally to remove the mold to a position adjacent to a mold deposit and replacement station. The mold is deposited at the mold deposit and replacement station and a replacement mold is deposited on the removal and replacement mechanism to be transferred to the concrete molding machine.

Method For Texturizing The Face Of Concrete Products

View page
US Patent:
59421819, Aug 24, 1999
Filed:
Jan 24, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/788585
Inventors:
Duane A. Rondeau - Alpena MI
Assignee:
Besser Company - Alpena MI
International Classification:
B28B 500
US Classification:
264504
Abstract:
A method of and apparatus for molding and texturizing the upper surfaces of concrete products such as patio and paving stones following the steps of densifying and molding the concrete products and releasing them on pallets to a substantially horizontally traveling, longitudinally extending conveyor, then passing the concrete products continuously on the conveyor past an overhead force spraying station at a predesignated speed and directing a predetermined volumetric, overhead spray of liquid at a predetermined spray angle and pressure to progressively loosen some of the material and texturize the upper surfaces as the products move past the spraying station, and then before they have absorbed enough liquid to deleteriously affect their strength, either in the uncured or cured state, and, while they are continuing to travel along the conveyor, directing a flow of gas at the upper surfaces at a pressure to blow off the liquid and loosened material from the surfaces. Thereafter, the palleted products proceed continuously to and past a flooding spray station for entraining any remaining fines before proceeding to a second blow off station.

Apparatus For Texturizing The Upper Surfaces Of Concrete Products

View page
US Patent:
62578650, Jul 10, 2001
Filed:
Mar 3, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/261632
Inventors:
Duane A. Rondeau - Alpena MI
Assignee:
Besser Company - Alpena MI
International Classification:
B28B 500
B28B 1108
US Classification:
425385
Abstract:
Apparatus, used with a molding machine for densifying and molding concrete products and releasing them in an uncured state wherein the upper surfaces comprise coarse aggregate and fines including a cement binder, textures the upper surfaces of the uncured concrete slab, stone and block products as they pass on a generally horizontally traveling conveyor. A force spraying station is positioned above the conveyor to direct a predetermined volumetric, overhead force spray of liquid at a substantially vertical spray angle with a pressure of only sufficient force to progressively loosen a predetermined amount of fines on the upper surfaces as the products move past. A blow off station at a predetermined distance downstream directs a predetermine curtain of gas only down at the upper surfaces of the products at a predetermined pressure adequate to blow off liquid and loosened fines from the upper surfaces of the products. The products pass on to a flooding station and then to a final blow off station for removing liquid and fines entrained in the flooding liquid.

US Patent:
59520159, Sep 14, 1999
Filed:
Mar 21, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/828260
Inventors:
James W. DeWyre - Alpena MI
Duane A. Rondeau - Alpena MI
Assignee:
Besser Company - Alpena MI
International Classification:
B28B 300
B29C 3330
US Classification:
425186
Abstract:
A device is provided for unloading a mold from the mold support surface of a concrete products producing machine and moving it to a remote mold replacement station, and then loading a replacement mold to the support surface of the machine. It incorporates a carriage supporting framework, a mold carriage transport system on the framework extending into the molding machine from the mold replacement station, which is mounted by the framework for vertical travel, and a mold transport carriage for moving from the replacement station along the transport system to a position juxtaposed vertically with the machine mold support surface. An actuatable mechanism interacts with the transport system for moving the transport system vertically relative to the carriage supporting framework from a remote support position aligned vertically with the mold to a mold support position in which the transport system can move the mold out of the machine.
