Vertical Core Shooter Manufacturer
Galaxy Machine India manufactures vertical core shooters for foundries producing metal castings for automotive, industrial and engineering applications. A core shooter is a machine used in foundries to manufacture sand cores, the internal shapes placed inside a mould to create hollow sections and complex internal geometries in a metal casting. Cores are made by blowing a mixture of sand and chemical binder into a core box under high pressure, where the binder then hardens the sand into a solid shape.
In a vertical core shooter, the core box is mounted and clamped vertically, and the sand-binder mixture is shot downward from a hopper. This differs from a horizontal core shooter, where the core box sits sideways.
The vertical design offers three benefits:
- Space efficiencyIt takes up less floor space, which is helpful when shop-floor area is limited
- Gravity-assisted fillingThe sand flows down naturally, helping it settle and pack evenly, especially in deep or narrow core cavities
- Easier line integrationIt fits into tight production setups without needing big layout changes
Vertical core shooters are often used with the cold box process. In this method, a catalyst gas hardens the sand and binder mixture. This is different from box or shell processes, which rely on heat to cure the sand.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal core shooter?
In a vertical machine, the core box stands up, and sand is shot downward. In a horizontal machine, the core box lies sideways. Vertical machines take up less floor space and work better for deep or narrow cores. Horizontal machines suit wider, flatter cores.
