A method of moulding and apparatus therefor, in which a workpiece is preheated and/or post-cooled before and/or after a moulding process, allowing optimal use of the tool for high precision moulding operations.

An injection molding machine device and a pneumatic support mechanism, the injection molding machine device includes a rack, at least one guide rail fixed to the rack, at least two guide rods, a fixed mold base fixed to one end of the rack, a movable mold base arranged opposite to the fixed mold base, at least one pneumatic support mechanism, and a cylinder. Both ends of each guide rod are fixed to the rack. The movable mold base has at least two receiving holes for receiving the guide rods, and slides on the guide rods. The pneumatic support mechanism has a lower support plate positioned above the guide rail, and an upper support plate fixed to the movable mold base. At least one accommodating cavity is arranged between the upper and lower support plates to receive the cylinder. The height of the movable mold base is adjustable by the cylinder.

Embodiments relate to apparatus for manufacturing a carbon block filter and a method for manufacturing a carbon block filter. The apparatus for manufacturing a carbon block filter according to an embodiment may include a mold having an inner space, a heater coupled to the mold to heat the mold, a material injection unit injecting a material to the mold heated by the heater, a material pressing unit pressing the material, and a filter separation unit separating a thermally treated filter from the mold heated by the heater.

Auto-aligning vacuum presses, that include a mobile assembly with a first platen, a vacuum docking station with a second platen, a first locating device to guide the mobile assembly to a desired location along the Y-axis as the mobile assembly moves along the X-axis into the vacuum station, and a second locating device to guide one of the first and second platens along the Z-axis into sealing engagement with the other platen.

A device for turning over molds is provided that can reduce the wear of turning over wheels and supporting rollers even when the speed for transporting a flask or the speed for turning it over increases. A pair of turning over wheels (5) are attached to respective sides of a turning over roller conveyor (4), on which a metal flask (3) is mounted. The outer surfaces of the wheels are supported by respective pairs of supporting rollers (6). A driving roller (9) is provided on one or both of the wheels. The supporting rollers are flangeless. Two pairs of side rollers (10) abut the side surfaces of the wheels so as to prevent them from moving in the direction in which the flask is transported. The side rollers are preferably configured so that their surfaces that contact the wheels are formed as arcs.
