# Industrial Specification: Automated Shakeout Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated unit for separating castings from molding sand after casting process

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s vibration frequency, 0.1-0.5 mm vibration amplitude**. Failure boundary: **Vibration amplitude exceeding 0.8 mm at resonant frequency of 3.2 Hz**, Mechanism: **Resonant fatigue failure due to structural resonance at natural frequency matching sand-casting system mass-spring dynamics (Young's modulus: 200 GPa for structural steel, damping ratio: 0.02)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in the construction of this automated shakeout unit?
**A**: Our automated shakeout unit is built with high-strength steel for durability, wear-resistant alloy plates for longevity in abrasive environments, and industrial rubber dampers to reduce vibration transmission and noise.

### Q: How does the automated shakeout unit separate castings from molding sand?
**A**: The unit uses a controlled vibration mechanism to agitate castings on a conveyor system, causing molding sand to fall through a sand collection grate while castings continue along the production line for further processing.

### Q: What industries typically use automated shakeout units?
**A**: Automated shakeout units are essential in foundries and metal casting facilities within the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, particularly for operations producing metal castings that require efficient sand separation after the casting process.
