CONT

Mold makers create, adjust, and adapt the molds used in cast manufacturing. Most frequently, tool and machine parts manufacturers are the employers for mold makers. Mold makers typically work with specifications from a design team, and they need to know how to work from schematics and be familiar with computer-aided design(CAD) programs for this purpose. The mold maker then creates initial molds. Upon the successful completion of production runs and quality control for parts from the casting, the maker then puts the mold into the production cycle. Mold makers often work with existing parts, making necessary adjustments to existing molds and conforming existing molds to new product specifications.

  • Skiing and Snowboarding

DEF

... a device used to produce snow artificially.

CONT

A snow cannon works by atomizing water and allowing it to freeze into snow. The device is often used by ski hills and ski resorts to supplement naturally occurring snow and extend the skiing season.

CONT

For the purpose of manufacturing snow, we use low-pressure mobile snowmakers commonly called “snow cannons. ” These snow cannons are essentially equipped with an air compressor and a powerful turbine fan. The integrated fan blows the surrounding air through a large tube. At the end of the tube, water is vaporised under pressure through fine nozzles into the flow of air and carried a distance of 20 to 45 meters in altitude, during which the water freezes into crystals and snow flakes, and falls to the ground.

CONT

The traditional type of snow gun produces water droplets by combining cooled water and compressed air.

This project of 18 acres included snowmaking machines, pumps and pipe installation.

Appareil permettant de produire de la neige artificiellement, par la pulvérisation d'un mélange d'eau et d'air qui se cristallise au contact de l'air ambiant.

CONT

À des fins de fabrication ou de production, nous utilisons des enneigeurs mobiles à basse pression appelés communément «canons à neige». Ces enneigeurs sont équipés essentiellement d'un compresseur à air et d'un puissant ventilateur installé sous forme de turbine. Le ventilateur intégré souffle de l'air environnant dans un grand tube. À la fin du tube, de l'eau est vaporisée sous pression au travers de fins gicleurs dans le flux d'air et transportée ainsi sur une distance de 20 à 45 m en altitude, avant que l'eau gelée se cristallise en flocons de neige et tombe sur le sol.

CONT

Ce premier projet de 18 acres comprend l'installation d'une tuyauterie, de pompes et d'enneigeurs.

CONT

Cet énorme canon à neige de la station de ski Stoneham comporte 24 gicleurs. Il pousse le mélange air-eau à plus de 10 mètres de hauteur.
