The moulding plants in a cold resin (hand) moulding shop link the individual work steps of moulding. From filling and compacting to casting to demoulding of the casting. In contrast to the classical base moulds, the workflow is controlled in scheduled, plannable work steps. The transport tasks required in the production of moulds are performed by the plant without the necessity of operator intervention.

In particular the principle of chaining has to be respected in the planning phase so that the required performance can be achieved. The plant's success is based on the uniform performance of each single work station.

Continuous rotary mixers are the central component in the model circuit.

Depending on the size of the moulds, the required throughput is determined. The quality of the moulding material mixture and the process reliability of the plant should come first here. The curing time can be kept nearly constant by selecting the binder system in combination with a powerful dosing control.

Optionally, automatic filling programs can be applied, which allow for quick and uniform filling of the mould.

Roller conveyors and band conveyors serve for the transport, buffering, and storage of transport pallets and moulding boxes. During model preparation, filling and hardening of the mould, these processes are coordinated by a control system.

To change between moulding lines, transfer cars are fitted with roller conveyors or band conveyors are used. 
The transfer car can be controlled either via a cable drum or a radio network.
