| Resumen |
In this new process, dust conditions are prevented from developing in a foundry moulding system, and the sand cooled by absorption and convection. Part of the moist sand from the preparation plant is diverted to the casting shakeout, where it is poured over the used sand to cool it. The advantages of the new system are: elimination of most dust collection hoods (only one at the shakeout is required); low capital and maintenance costs; elimination of sand coolers; less need for makeup air, and reduced gas requirements for its heating in winter. In a final discussion, it is shown that there is a steep fall in dust generation in relation to the compactibility of the sand, i.e. to its moisture content. |
