Cold Box Core Machine

ATD offers a comprehensive line of cold box core machines and auxiliary equipment engineered to meet the demands of today’s metalcasting operations. As a distributor of ATD equipment, Carpenter Brothers provides access to durable, low-maintenance systems suitable for both low-volume job shops and high-production foundries.

These machines are designed with flexibility, efficiency, and long-term reliability in mind — and are trusted by facilities casting everything from ferrous to non-ferrous components.


Designed for Performance and Maintainability

ATD cold box core machines are known for their heavy-duty construction and operator-friendly design, with features that streamline the coremaking process while supporting safe, efficient operation.

Whether your foundry runs vertically or horizontally parted tooling, ATD provides configurations that can be customized with automated handling and control options to meet specific production goals.


Available Core Machine Features and Options

Depending on your process and part design, ATD core machines can be equipped with a range of optional features to support productivity, consistency, and ergonomics:

  • Automated Core Box Scraper
    Wipes the invest area between blows to reduce buildup and improve part quality.

  • Automated Core Box Tilt & Eject (for vertically parted machines)
    Enables controlled ejection and transfers finished cores directly to a conveyor.

  • Automated Core Unloader (for horizontally parted machines)
    Improves core removal efficiency and reduces manual handling.

  • Integrated Safety Fence
    Supports compliance with safety standards and operator protection.

  • Quick-Change Tooling & Blow Heads
    Reduces downtime between jobs and supports lean production workflows.

  • Blow-Off & Scraper Systems
