Sand Muller

A sand muller is a type of equipment used in foundries for mixing and preparing molding sand. It is specifically designed to evenly distribute additives and moisture throughout the sand to ensure consistent and high-quality molds.

The sand muller consists of a large drum or pan that rotates on a horizontal axis. Inside the drum, there are blades or paddles that continuously mix and knead the sand. This action helps to break up any lumps or clumps in the sand and ensures that all the particles are thoroughly coated with additives.

Sand mullers are commonly used in foundries for various applications, including green sand molding, core making, and sand reclamation. They are essential for achieving uniform sand properties, such as grain size distribution, moisture content, and strength, which are crucial for producing accurate and defect-free castings.

In the supply class Foundry Machinery, Related Equipment And Supplies, sand mullers are categorized as a specialized equipment for the foundry industry. They are part of the supply group Special Industry Machinery, which includes machinery and equipment specifically designed for various industries, such as foundries, metalworking, woodworking, and more.

Sand mullers are available in different sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of different foundries. They can be manually operated or automated, depending on the production requirements and level of automation desired by the foundry.
