At States Engineering, we believe that precision and efficiency are the foundation of a successful foundry operation. That’s why we developed the Rotary Screen—a cutting-edge solution that enhances sand purity while boosting overall performance.
The Importance of Clean, Contaminant-Free Sand
Foundry sand plays a crucial role in the casting process. However, contaminants like core butts, debris, and tramp materials can significantly impact casting quality, leading to defects, rework costs, and production delays. Traditional screening methods often struggle to provide a consistent level of cleanliness, and frequent maintenance issues only add to operational headaches.
That’s where our Rotary Screen excels. By integrating advanced screening technology with a low-maintenance, high-efficiency design, we help foundries maintain the highest standards of sand purity.
How the States Engineering Rotary Screen Optimizes Sand Processing
The Rotary Screen is engineered for precision and durability, offering a seamless screening solution that integrates into your foundry’s existing setup.
1. Advanced Screening Mechanism
- Sand enters the receiving chute, where it is directed into the rotating drum.
- Internal lifting flights tumble and elevate the sand, ensuring a thorough screening process.
- Unwanted debris is efficiently separated, while clean sand is processed for reuse.
2. Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Reliability
Unlike traditional vibrating screens, which require constant upkeep, our Rotary Screen operates at a slow 14 RPM, minimizing wear and tear.
- No high-speed eccentric shafts that frequently require repairs.
- No counterweights or springs that can lead to downtime.
- Spherical roller bearings ensure smooth, long-lasting operation.
3. Enhanced Workplace Safety & Air Quality
- Fully enclosed design prevents dust and debris from escaping into the work environment.
- Integrated exhaust outlet connects to dust and fume collection systems for improved air quality.
- Safety interlocks automatically shut down the unit when inspection doors are opened, reducing risks for operators.
Key Benefits of the Rotary Screen for Foundries
