THERMAL REGENERATION SAND PLANT
CAST IRON FOUNDRY FURAN PROCESS
Sogemi has successfully commissioned a thermal sand regeneration plant, with a capacity of 500 kg/h, in Italy at the SCM cast iron foundry. The plant regenerates sand with furan process. Thanks to the heat exchanger incorporated in the machine, methane consumption is limited. Thermal regeneration is the most efficient method for reducing the loss on ignition of the sand. Although it is mainly used in non-ferrous foundries, it can also be a useful solution for ferrous foundries, helping to avoid issues related to the repurchase of new sand and the disposal costs of excess sand. Sogemi is a leader in this technology and has been developing thermal regeneration plants for over 30 years.

CRHOMITE SNAD SEPARATION PLANT
STEEL FOUNDRY - FACES - ITALY
Sogemi has recently installed and succesfully commissioned a Cromite sand separation plant
Sogemi has recently installed and successfully started up a chromite sand separation plant at Faces in Marcon (VE).
It is a three-stage plant:
The first stage involves magnetic separation by means of high intensity roller belts.
The second stage consists in the elimination of the fines and oxides by exploiting their different specific weight.
The final stage carries out a final cleaning of the chromite through a magnetic pulley of suitable density.
In this case, the sand / chromite mixture coming out of an existing cooler is pneumatically sent to the separation plant hopper.
From here, two separate vessels send the chromite and sand pneumatically to their storage silos.
Separation plant inlet capacity: 6 ton / h for the magnetic part and 3 ton / h for the gravimetric part
Residual percentage of sand in the chromite: max 2%

GREEN - REC : GREEN SAND RECLAMATION SYSTEM
TO PRODUCE CORES IN COLD BOX
Sogemi has successfully commissioned to Teksid Braszil a plant to reclaim the mix of sand cores and green sand.
The plant, named Green-Rec, is a sand thermos-mechanical treatment with 12 t/h output.
The Green-Rec plant reclaims the mix of green sand and cores sand in order to produce new cores with a cold box process.
The Green-Rec reclamation system is a valid solution for foundries that employ a significant amount of cores in the molding process. With this reclamation system they avoid dumping a considerable amount of sand at the landfill, operation that has a significant cost nowadays.
The yeld on the sand is around 80 % .
Teksid produces medium and big size cores using 100% reclaimed sand.

ARTICULATED MIXER WITH DOUBLE MIXING ARM – 15 T/H AND 3 T/H
In August 2016, together with Funditec, its partner for Spanish market, Sogemi successfully commissioned an articulated mixer with double mixing arm for Alkaline-Phenolic process. The mixer was supplied to Suner Foundry in Spain, near Barcelona.
The mixer is equipped with a double mixing arm: the first one has an output of 15 t/h and blends silica as backing sand with additives , the second one has an output of 3 t/h and blends the chromite with the same chemical process.
With this solution, the customer can obtain a perfect blending of the sands with two very different mixing outputs. This is the ultimate solution for those foundries that use, in their molding process chromite as facing sand and silica sand as backing sand.
The mixer is also equipped with mass flow meters that check the exact quantity of additives dosed by the pumps, and adjust the pumps speed according to the quantity actually dosed.
Like in every Sogemi mixer, also in this one the mixing arms are equipped with additives recirculation system, electro pneumatic gate for the first sand homogenization and cleaning system.
The mixing arms’ covers are equipped with wear-resistant protection shells.
