There are various methods for dewaxing, and in the past, the thermal shock method, which burns off most of the dewaxing material with heavy oil, was widely used, but now, in view of the decreasing supply of petroleum resources, wax is used. The most widely used method is steam dewaxing, which allows for the recovery and regeneration of carbon dioxide. This steam dewaxing method involves placing the coated wax model in an autoclave with the sprue facing down and heating it with steam at about 150°C to dewax it in a short time. This method has the advantage of causing little change in the composition and properties of the wax to be recovered, but on the other hand, wax that has been dewaxed by supersaturated steam in an autoclave for a short period of time cannot be removed from the autoclave after a certain period of time. Since the water is taken out from the wax, it has the disadvantage that the latent heat of vaporization is taken away and the water condenses and mixes into the wax. Therefore, in order to use the wax recovered from the mold for molding a model again, it is necessary to improve the quality of the wax by removing impurities and moisture within the wax. Conventional methods for collecting and recycling wax have involved heat treatment, centrifugation, etc., but these methods involve applying heat to the wax for a relatively long period of time or maintaining the wax at a constant temperature. As a result, the composition of the wax tends to change, which causes problems with the properties of the wax when it is reused, which is not desirable. Furthermore, in the above method, the molten wax must be solidified or melted in order to separate the two by utilizing the difference in freezing point of wax and water, which also causes problems such as increased heat loss. was.

The drawing shows a diagram of a freeze-drying wax recovery apparatus according to the present invention. When a constant residual pressure (1 Kg/cm 2 G) in the autoclave 1 is confirmed, the electromagnetic valve opens and the eluted wax is sent to the wax storage tank 2 under steam pressure. A jacket is attached to the storage tank 2, and the stored wax is heated with steam to prevent it from solidifying. The settled wax and water mixture is then conveyed to a filter tank 4 by actuation of pump means 3. The filter tank 4 is also heated with steam. Impurities other than wax and water are removed by a multistage separation device within this filtration tank.

This device is equipped with a heating device for heat replenishment, as latent heat is taken away from the wax during sublimation, and this device reheats the dehydrated wax to a molten state, and sends the molten wax. The wax is transported to a wax tempering tank 12 by a pump 11. The wax tempering tank 12 is provided with heating heaters 12a for purification such as adjusting the temperature and quality of the wax. The purified wax is transported to a delivery tank 13, kept warm by heaters 13a, stirred by a stirrer 13b, and further maintained in the best condition as a model material. The purified wax that has reached a certain temperature is sent to the wax model injection molding device 15 by the purified wax conveying pump 14, and is used again for model molding.

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention,
First, a mixture of wax and water from which impurities have been removed is cooled and frozen, and then sublimated to separate the wax and water, so the composition and quality of the wax can be maintained constant without exposing the wax to high temperatures for long periods of time. At the same time, it has the advantage that heat loss can be extremely reduced compared to the conventional method. Further, the wax recovery/regeneration process can be provided as a continuous process, and this continuous process can save labor and manpower. Furthermore, since the wax is frozen and dehydrated, the wax becomes porous, and as a result, even if the wax is stored in a solid state, it can be easily dissolved when used.
It exhibits various effects such as facilitating the preservation of wax.
