Sand Plant


Sky TechnoCast has installed a 4 ton per hour capacity sand plant from RHINO MACHNIES PVT LTD. We have selected Belloi & Romagnoli for sand mixture and RTC – Online Sand Controller, with PLC interfaced load cell for return sand, new sand and additives like Bentonite, Coal Dust etc. with online moisture and sand testing facility. Also the homogeneity in mixing of Raw Material which also drastically reduces consumption of Bentonite, cold dust etc. Which also affect the quality of casting finish due to less generation of dead clay in sand.

It has fantastic advantages like :-


  • 1. Min. Casting defects like blow holes, porosity and mould breakage etc. Due to highest quality consistency of  ready sand.
  • 2. High amount of raw material saving due to best design and proven  performance of sand mixer.
  • 3. Homogeneous quality in all batches. Inbuilt properties of input return sand is retained with min. losses.
  • 4. Exact feeding of input raw material due to feeders with electronically  controlled load cells coordinated with online sand inspection facilities synchronized with main computer.

This sand plant will encompass components like :-

  • 1. Intensive Mixer.
  • 2. RTC – Online Sand Controller
  • 3. Sand Cooler
  • 4. Automatic additive dosing systems
  • 5. Centralized PLC based controls
