Tired of mesh blinding and casting defects caused by poor sand screening?

In green sand molding, consistency is everything. If your reclamation system allows core butts, metallic inclusions, or oversized agglomerates to slip through, your casting scrap rates will skyrocket.

Traditional flat vibratory screens easily clog (blind) and require constant maintenance. That’s why we engineered the High-Efficiency Fine Hexagonal Screen specifically for Green Sand Reclamation.

Improve Sand Quality, Reduce Defects, and Maximize Foundry Productivity

Is Poor Sand Screening Causing Casting Defects in Your Foundry?

Many foundries invest heavily in:

• Sand mixers
• Molding machines
• Automatic molding lines
• Sand reclamation systems

Yet still experience:

❌ Poor mold hardness consistency

❌ Rough casting surfaces

❌ Sand inclusions

❌ Gas defects

❌ Reduced casting yield

The hidden problem is often overlooked:

Inadequate sand screening.

Even the best molding system cannot produce quality castings if reclaimed sand contains:

• Oversized particles
• Sand lumps
• Foreign contaminants
• Uneven grain distribution

This is why modern foundries increasingly use a Fine Hexagonal Screen as a critical part of the green sand reclamation process.

What Is a Fine Hexagonal Screen?

Fine Hexagonal Screen is a specialized screening machine designed for green sand preparation and reclamation systems.

Its primary function is to:

• Separate oversized particles
• Remove sand lumps
• Improve grain size distribution
• Ensure consistent molding sand quality

The unique hexagonal drum structure provides highly efficient screening while minimizing sand degradation.

Why Sand Screening Matters in Green Sand Reclamation

In green sand casting production, the quality of molding sand directly affects:

• Mold strength
• Surface finish
• Dimensional accuracy
• Casting yield

Without effective screening, reclaimed sand may contain impurities that negatively impact casting performance.

Common problems include:

• Uneven compaction
• Poor permeability
• Surface defects
• Increased scrap rates

How the Fine Hexagonal Screen Works

Step 1: Sand Feeding

Reclaimed green sand enters the rotating hexagonal screening drum.

Step 2: Material Distribution

The unique hexagonal structure continuously lifts and tumbles the sand.

This ensures:

• Better particle separation
• Uniform screening
• Reduced material blockage

Step 3: Fine Screening

Qualified sand passes through the screen openings.

Oversized particles are separated automatically.

Step 4: Impurity Removal

The system removes:

• Sand lumps
• Metal fragments
• Foreign materials
• Oversized agglomerates

Step 5: Discharge

Clean, uniform molding sand exits the screening system and returns to production.
