Big Board Mold Roars Into Service

Brampton Brick relied upon Besser to produce their newest big board mold for the manufacture of Legato Series Stone (brick). The complete project, from the time the order was taken, through customer approvals and manufacturing was an impressive 8 weeks. Today they are running the complete mold assembly in their Tiger PS100 machine and producing forty units per cycle. Sixteen different shoe designs are contained within the 40 shoes so a wide variety of unit appearances are produced during each cycle.
The unique features of this mold are:
- Produces 40 units per cycle.
- Each unit has an end texture that is independent from the top texture. If desired Brampton can mix and match the stripper shoes with the end texture to create even more variety within their Legato Series product line.
- The mold is 49-1/4" (125.095 cm) deep x 78-3/4" (200.025 cm) wide x 21” (53.34 cm) high (including the plunger assembly). The total weight is approximately 5000 lbs (2267.96 kg).
