In the current manufacturing of foundry sand moulds, various methods of moulding sand compaction are used. Researchers are still looking for the optimal methods of mould manufacturing not only in terms of achieving the best technological effects, but also in terms of energy consumption. The article presents selected results of research of their own variant of the synthetic moulding sand compaction process using a vacuum. The measurements were also designed for evaluation the energy consumption in this method. The results were compared with other air flow moulding methods which are widely used. The study was performed on the original design test stand, which allows the visualization of the compaction process.

W wytwarzaniu piaskowych form odlewniczych sa stosowane obecnie różnorodne metody zagęszczania. Nadal poszukiwane są metody wytwarzania form optymalne nie tylko pod względem uzyskiwanych efektów technologicznych, ale również pod względem ważnego parametru- energochłonności procesu. W artykule przedstawiono wybrane wyniki badań własnego wariantu procesu zagęszczania podciśnieniowego syntetycznej masy formierskiej oraz pomiarów zmierzających do oceny metody w aspekcie energochłonności. Wyniki porównano z wynikami badań innych metod zagęszczania strumieniowego - powszechnie obecnie stosowanych w wytwarzaniu form odlewniczych. Badania wykonano na oryginalnym stanowisku badawczym własnej konstrukcji, umożliwiającym wizualizacje procesu zagęszczania.
