Recover Up to 98% of Resin Sand, Reduce Production Costs, and Build a Sustainable Foundry with a Compact No-Bake Sand Reclamation Solution.
Why Are Foundries Investing in Compact Resin Sand Reclamation Systems?
For modern foundries, controlling production costs is just as important as increasing output.
Every day, large volumes of no-bake resin bonded sand are discarded after shakeout because they contain residual binder and hardened agglomerates.
Without an efficient reclamation process, foundries face:
- Rising silica sand costs
- Increased resin binder consumption
- Higher landfill and disposal expenses
- Greater environmental pressure
- Inconsistent molding sand quality
- Reduced profitability
Compact No Bake Resin Sand Reclamation System enables foundries to recover valuable silica sand, minimize waste, and create a more efficient, sustainable production process—without requiring a large factory footprint.
What Is a Compact No Bake Resin Sand Reclamation System?
Compact No Bake Resin Sand Reclamation System is a fully integrated recycling solution designed to process used resin bonded sand from no-bake molding lines.
It combines several core machines into one compact production line, including:
- Resin Sand Crushing Machine
- Secondary Mechanical Sand Reclaimer
- Fine Screening Unit
- Fluidized Sand Cooling Bed
- Bucket Elevator
- Screw Conveyor
- Pulse Jet Dust Collector
- PLC Control System
The system removes residual resin films, separates fines, cools reclaimed sand, and returns high-quality sand to the molding process.

How the Compact Sand Reclamation System Works
Step 1 – Shakeout & Collection
After casting solidification, molds are broken apart and the used resin sand is collected.
Step 2 – Primary Crushing
Large sand lumps are broken into smaller particles using a high-efficiency resin sand crushing machine.
Benefits:
- Uniform feed size
- Improved downstream efficiency
- Reduced equipment wear
Step 3 – Secondary Mechanical Reclamation
The reclaimed sand enters the attrition chamber where high-speed mechanical friction removes residual resin films from each sand grain.
This is the most critical stage for improving reclaimed sand quality.
Step 4 – Screening & Dust Removal
A fine hexagonal screen separates oversized particles while the pulse jet dust collector removes resin powder and fine dust.
The result is cleaner, more uniform reclaimed sand.
Step 5 – Sand Cooling
The fluidized cooling bed reduces sand temperature to meet molding requirements, ensuring stable resin mixing and consistent mold quality.
Step 6 – Reuse in Production
The reclaimed sand is transferred directly to the continuous resin sand mixer and reused for mold production, reducing dependence on fresh silica sand.
