⚙️ Design and Construction of a One-Ton Green Sand Mixer with Optimized Performance
Project Overview:
In response to the operational demands of a foundry requiring high-quality and uniform green sand mixtures, a comprehensive engineering and consulting project was carried out to design and build a one-ton green sand mixer. Inspired by globally recognized models, the mixer was engineered with a rotating drum body to enhance mixing homogeneity and eliminate dead zones during operation.
Key aspects of the project included:
-
Optimization of the mechanical structure and power transmission system for efficient blending
-
Integration of precise moisture control mechanisms to maintain ideal molding properties
-
Selection and design of wear-resistant components to ensure extended equipment life
-
Simulation-based evaluation to analyze material flow and predict performance
-
Tailored design of sand inlet/outlet systems in line with actual production requirements
Project Achievements:
-
✅ High homogeneity in sand and additive distribution
-
✅ Reduction of sand lumps under 3 mm to below 2%
-
✅ Improved wear life of internal components and minimized downtime
-
✅ Long-term stable performance under full operational load
-
✅ Enhanced molding sand quality and reduced surface defects in castings
This project showcases a successful integration of technical expertise and practical manufacturing needs, resulting in significant improvements in casting quality, process stability, and operational efficiency.
