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
