Playing it cool. (Materials preparation).

Date: Tuesday, May 1 2001

Hot sand compromises the action of mixing at the sand mixer which in turn can cause reject castings. Claims for Savelli's Sandcooler range of machines include the ability to produce sand of consistent moisture, batch after batch.

The Italian company says that this is achieved through

a pre-mixing period that results in a more uniform sand circulation, improves the sand mixer efficiency and reduces the cycle time. Also, bentonite may be added into the Sandcooler.
