VVGT evening | Measuring equipment and additives for clay-bonded sand

Measuring and improving the sustainability of clay-bonded moulding sand

The clay-bonded moulding sand system and its control are complex. The different sand components each have their own function and must be carefully monitored to produce defect-free castings. Measuring sand properties is therefore crucial to correctly adjust the sand system. During this meeting, you will discover measuring equipment for sand quality and learn about ECOSEC, a new additive designed to replace lustrous carbon formers. 

For whom?

This meeting is aimed at professionals in the foundry industry who work with clay-bonded moulding sand and are involved in production, process monitoring, quality or technological innovation.

Key takeaways

During two presentations, you will gain both technical information and practical experience.

• Simpson provides an overview of measuring equipment that can be used in the foundry to monitor sand quality. This presentation will be in English.
• Hüttenes-Albertus presents ECOSEC, a new additive designed to replace lustrous carbon formers.
• ECOSEC consists of 60% inorganic components and replaces traditional coal dust.
• The product helps reduce smoke, BTEX emissions and odour nuisance, contributing to a cleaner working environment.
• You will see practical case studies from iron foundries that have fully switched to ECOSEC.
