Bentonite Recovery System

90% Recovery Rate of Active Clay

The BRS-1 will help a foundry elevate your casting quality based on improved green sand properties. Shorter mulling times result in an overall operational efficiency, lower emissions and reduced environmental footprint.

BENEFITS:

• Over 90% recovery rate of active clay, process up to 1 ton of dust / hour
• Reduce bond additions by up to 40%
• Reintroduction of fully hydrated, activated clay provides efficient green sand property development
• Reduced mull times allows for increased mold production
• Shortened mulling times result in lower energy costs and reducing wear and tear on mulling equipment
• Reduced variability of green sand properties
• Environmental sustainability
• Fully automated system
• Easily integrated and compact machine design
• Chemical free
• Recycling of green sand baghouse dust drastically reduces dependency on landfills and reduces disposal costs
• Reduces labor and costs tied to handling and bagging materials for disposal
• Lower foundry emissions

“Grede-St. Cloud was looking for a method to save bond, improve green sand properties and increase mold rates. The Bentonite Recovery System delivered on these metrics.” -John Haas, Cast-Met Associates, LLC
