States Engineering "M-1500 Ringmullor", with a PLC Touch Screen Control Panel.
 
The installation of this unit will allow C&L to add two additional sand molding lines and increase its production by 40%. The M-1500 Ringmullor can discharge over sixteen tons of uniformly prepared sand per hour, which in-turn will reduce scrap rates, improve casting finish and lower cleaning and grinding expenses.

C&L’s new Ringmullor measures the batch, cools the sand before mulling, mulls, accurately controls moisture content, power-aerates and discharges uniformly prepared cool molding sand. Proper mulling is fundamental to the production of quality castings in green sand high production environments.

Preparation of green molding sands involves mixing sand, water, clay and carbon to a consistent composition, and activating the clay.

The addition of a Continuous No Bake Mixer allows C&L a gateway in to the No Bake Chemically Bonded Sand market. C&L can increase its production efficiency, minimize waste and reduce the need for skilled labor.

No Bake molding uses chemically bonded sand and is used for castings that require intricate detail and a smooth surface finish. No Bake molding allows C&L to create a casting with high mechanical properties and dimensional stability. Additionally, complex core assemblies may be set into the mold to create indicate parts with stable dimensions.
