METALCASTING SUPPLIES


Sand Mixer Blades Palmer Manufacturing & Supply Inc.


has introduced its Palmer FattBlades designed to fi t all brands of high- speed continuous sand mixers. The


prevented from staying in the chamber longer than necessary. Visit www.palmermfg.com for more information


Matchplate Molding Hunter Automated Machinery has


introduced its XL Series of horizontal matchplate molding machines for high


that digitally controls compaction speed while monitoring the resistance to pro- duce a uniformly hard mold. Patented air-assisted drag mold release allows for harder squeeze and higher speeds while drawing cleaner pockets. Visit www.hunterauto.com for more information.


Sand Conditioning and Cooling


two wide blades, which are as wide as the discharging chute, can be mounted with the same holes used by existing single blades. The FattBlades create a turbine or fan effect, which discharges the mixed sand at a higher velocity, and prevent sand from reaching the end of the mixing chamber. Sand also is


volume, high quality molds based on gravity fi lling. The XL Series features an auto-lock hydraulic pattern clamp- ing system and Squeezelogic system


General Kinematics designed its SprayCool water addition systems to provide precise in-process sand condi- tioning and cooling of metalcasting sand. SprayCool uses evaporative cooling to improve the effi ciency of fl uid bed sand coolers and systems. Combining in- process temperature and weigh sensing components and water spray nozzles, SprayCool systems deliver the exact amount of water needed to achieve a pre-set moisture/temperature for sand conditioning, regardless of changing fl ow rates and varying sand temperature.
