The present invention is a multipart system and method for using cloth filters in automated vertical molding. The system includes a filter setter, a filter print plate and a filter back shelf. The filter setter removably mounts to a mechanical arm and releasably carries at least one cloth filter between upper and lower jaws. The filter print plate mounts to a ram plate while the filter back shelf mounts to a swing plate. During vertical molding, the ram plate and swing plate compress sand to create a mold. The mounted filter print plate creates at least part of a print aperture into which the filter setter inserts the cloth filter. The apertures created by the filter print plate and the filter back shelf support the cloth filter during the founding process.

1. A system for using cloth filters in automated vertical molding, comprised of: a filter setter removably mounted to a mechanical arm, wherein said filter setter comprises a housing, at least one upper jaw and at least one lower jaw, wherein at least one cloth filter is releasably located within said filter setter between the at least one upper jaw and the at least one lower jaw;a filter print plate mounted to a ram plate; anda filter back shelf removably mounted to a swing plate, wherein said filter back shelf has an L-shaped cross-section comprising a first shelf leg and a second shelf leg. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein a width of said at least one upper jaw is approximately equal to or less than a width of said housing. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein a width of said at least one lower jaw is approximately equal to or greater than a width of the at least one cloth filter. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein said at least one upper jaw comprises a plurality of removably attachable upper jaws and said at least one lower jaw comprises a plurality of removably attachable lower jaws. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein said filter print plate has a minimum thickness no less than a thickness of the at least one cloth filter and a maximum thickness no greater than twice said thickness of the at least one cloth filter. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein a side of said filter print plate closest to said ram plate is approximately 2-6 mm wider than the at least one cloth filter. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein a width of said filter print plate proximal to said ram plate is wider than a width of said filter print plate distal to said ram plate. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein a side of said filter print plate closest to said ram plate comprises a tapering or chamfering configuration. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein said first shelf leg of said filter back shelf plate includes a plurality of attachment apertures holding mechanical fasteners removably mounting said filter back shelf plate to said swing plate. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein said second shelf leg of said filter back shelf plate has a length ranging from approximately 0.5 inches to approximately 1 inch. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein said second shelf leg of said filter back shelf plate has a width ranging from a side dimension of said cloth filter to a side dimension of said filter print plate. 12. The system of claim 1, further comprising a filter separation box comprising four walls connected to and surrounding a base, and a plurality of separation structures integral to said base. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein said plurality of separation structures have a cross-sectional shape selected from a group consisting of: a rectangle, a square, a half-circle, an arc or a triangle. 14. The system of claim 12, wherein said plurality of separation structures number between approximately 4 and approximately 10. 15. The system of claim 12, wherein said plurality of separation structures are approximately 0.5 inches to approximately 0.625 inches wide. 16. The system of claim 12, wherein a height of said plurality of separation structures is no less than one-third a length of the at least one cloth filter. 17. The system of claim 12, wherein said plurality of separation structures are spaced apart no more than two-thirds a length of said cloth filter.
