4.	Uses	：	①Separating Gate		②Separating Runner	③Separating Side Riser	④Separating Top Riser
5.	Molding Machine	：
6.	Frequency of use	：	①8 Hours/Day		②16 Hours/Day	③Other
7.	Layout	：	①Floor Level Line		②Waist Level Line
8.	Operation	：	①Before shot		②After shot
9.	Voltage	：		V	Hz

●　BREAKING POWER

The Gate Buster's breaking power varies greatly with the conditions specified in the casting plan and other plans. For Material FCD-450, refer to the following guide.

Model	Breaking Power Ton	Maximum Breakable Sectional Area 　㎜² 　　　(㎜×㎜)
GP-MN	5.5	100　　　(10×10)
GP-DM(DF)	9	200　　　(15×15)
GP-5LV(5VS,5FK)	14	440　　　(21×21)
GP-10M(10F,10S)	27	1,100　　　(33×33)
GP-20(20F)	40	3,000　　　(55×55)

For gate separation with the Gate Buster, it is extremely important to use the following effectively
	1)Distance between the bill and breaking point.
	2)Separator notch.
To separate work of Material FCD-450 with a GP-10M, for example, the breaking power with tensile strength alone will be
	1,100㎜²×45㎏/㎜²＝49,500㎏<49.5ton>
Even if the friction coefficient is excluded, the GP-10M with a breaking power of 27 ton cannot complete the separation. The key point in this case is therefore to make effective use of 1) and 2).

<NOTE>	If there are two or more gates, be sure to begin with the edge of side A in the separation, then process the remaining gates in order.
