Now
the dance of the foundry begins.
Pouring
metal is a team effort. It is dangerous business and the
team needs to work as one unit. There are two teams that
work together. One team takes the white hot crucible full
of molten metal out of the furnace where it was heated.
They lift it out with a two-man heavy duty hoist.
The
pour team then changes the lift to a two-man pouring carrier
lift.
At
the same time the other half of the pour team takes the
hot shell molds out of the other furnace where they have
been heated and props them in sand and leans them against
metal bars for stability.
