Question

In the mechanized foundry, a roller conveyor is used for the transportation of moulds, on which moulds are transferred by rolling.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question during an internship interview.

This interesting question is from Mechanized Foundry in division Foundry Mechanizations of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

The explanation is: The transportation of the moulds should be controlled. A mould cannot be placed on a roller conveyor and allowed to roll until it is stopped by any obstruction. For transportation, moulds are either conveyed on trains or remained in permanent flasks or pushed mechanically along a roller conveyor.
