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.
TECHNOLOGY:
- Over 90% recover rate, 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 variability of green sand properties in sand system
- Reduced mull times allows for increased mold production
- Shortened mulling times result in lower energy costs and reducing wear and tear on mulling equipment
- Recycling green sand baghouse dust cuts landfill use and disposal costs
- Easily integrated and compact machine design
- Chemical free
- Lower foundry emissions
- Environmental sustainability
- Fully automated system
BENEFITS:
- Bentonite cost savings: reduction in bentonite usage, water material reduction, landfill and transportation costs
- Part quality improvement: use of prepared clay, ease of mixing, improved bonding performance, decreased sand variability
- Reduction of environmental impact: waste reduction, dust disposal, landfill use, no chemicals required, recycling of bentonite
- Reduction in bond consumption: reintroducing recycled bond slurry into the muller reduces dry bond usage by up to 40%
- Reduction in cycle time: pretreated bentonite reduces clay mixing time in the sand system
- Reduction in water usage: pretreated bentonite slurry reduces water needed for clay activation
