Maximize Sand Recovery, Reduce Labor Costs, and Boost Foundry Productivity.

Why Are Many Foundries Still Losing Money After the Casting Process?

Most foundries focus heavily on:

• Melting efficiency
• Molding automation
• Core production
• Pouring systems

But one critical process is often underestimated:

Shakeout and Sand Recovery.

After pouring and cooling, castings remain surrounded by molding sand. If this sand is not efficiently separated and reclaimed, foundries face:

❌ Higher fresh sand consumption

❌ Increased labor costs

❌ Lower production efficiency

❌ Equipment bottlenecks

❌ Excessive waste disposal expenses

❌ Reduced profitability

In today’s competitive casting industry, sand is no longer a low-cost consumable.

Every ton of reusable sand recovered directly impacts your bottom line.

That is why forward-thinking foundries are upgrading to a Next-Gen Foundry Shakeout Machine.

What Is a Next-Generation Foundry Shakeout Machine?

Next-Gen Foundry Shakeout Machine is an advanced vibratory separation system designed to:

• Separate castings from molding sand
• Break down sand lumps
• Improve sand recovery rates
• Support continuous automated production

Unlike traditional shakeout equipment, modern systems combine:

High-Efficiency Vibration Technology

Wear-Resistant Construction

Intelligent Process Control

Automation Integration

The result is faster shakeout, cleaner castings, and higher sand reclamation efficiency.

Why Shakeout Performance Matters More Than Ever

Modern foundries face growing pressure from:

• Rising raw material costs
• Labor shortages
• Environmental regulations
• Productivity demands

A poorly performing shakeout system can become a major bottleneck.

Common Problems in Traditional Shakeout Operations

Excessive Sand Waste

Valuable reusable sand is discarded unnecessarily.

Labor-Intensive Processing

Workers spend excessive time handling castings and cleaning sand.

Production Delays

Slow shakeout creates congestion downstream.

High Equipment Wear

Improper vibration systems increase maintenance costs.

A next-generation shakeout machine solves these issues while improving overall foundry efficiency.

How the Next-Gen Shakeout Machine Works

Step 1: Casting Loading

Hot castings with attached molding sand enter the shakeout deck.

Applicable materials include:

• Gray iron castings
• Ductile iron castings
• Steel castings
• Aluminum castings

Step 2: Controlled High-Energy Vibration

Dual vibration motors generate optimized excitation force.

The vibration quickly separates:

• Sand
• Castings
• Sand lumps

while minimizing casting damage.

Step 3: Sand Screening and Separation

Recovered sand passes through the screening deck.

Benefits include:

• Fast sand discharge
• Continuous operation
• Improved reclaim quality

Step 4: Lump Breakdown

Large sand lumps are crushed during vibration.

This improves the performance of downstream sand reclamation equipment.

Step 5: Sand Transfer

Recovered sand is automatically conveyed to:

• Boiling cooling beds
• Fine hexagonal screens
• Sand reclamation systems
• Sand storage silos

ready for reuse.

Technical Parameters

Customized solutions are available based on casting size and production capacity.

Key Benefits of a Next-Generation Shakeout Machine
