Abstract

Disclosed is a method and a system of processing a metal casting, particularly a cylinder-block, comprising following steps: - pouring a molten metal into a mold to form a casting; - removing at least a portion of the mold; - transferring the casting on a conveyance mechanism comprising: * a plurality of roller bars arranged transverse to an intended direction of travel of the casting; * at least one hollow guide tube extending perpendicular to the roller bars, the at least one guide tube releasably engaging the casting; * the guide tube comprises a plurality of apertures extending from the bore of the hollow guide tube; * a source of pressurized air in communication with the bore of the hollow guide tube. - heat treating the casting.
