Portable Mixer

Portable Mixer — Flexible Molding Anywhere in Your Foundry

The TES-SAN portable mixer is a mobile sand preparation unit that enables resin-bonded sand mixing in any desired zone of your foundry. Easily relocated by forklift or crane, it delivers continuous homogeneous sand output without the constraints of fixed installation.

What Is a Portable Mixer and How Does It Work?

A portable mixer is a self-contained sand preparation machine that blends base sand, resin, and catalyst at controlled ratios to produce ready-to-mold resin sand. Unlike fixed mixers, it requires no permanent conveyor or pipeline — it is operational wherever power is connected.

• Continuous mixing principle for consistent sand quality
• Compact frame for easy maneuvering in confined spaces
• Suitable as a demo machine or supplemental capacity unit

Which Foundries Benefit Most from a Portable Mixer?

Any foundry with multiple production zones, irregular plant layouts, or variable seasonal output can benefit. Typical use cases include:

• Supporting peak-load periods alongside an existing fixed mixer
• Furan resin or cold-box foundries needing on-site flexibility
• Sand casting foundries running pre-production trials or prototypes
• Operations seeking rapid deployment without major infrastructure investment

Portable Mixer vs Fixed Mixer — Which Is Right for Your Sand Casting Process?

Key Features of the TES-SAN Portable Mixer

• Fast relocation via forklift or overhead crane
• Molding capability in any foundry zone without fixed infrastructure
• Full compatibility with furan resin and cold-box sand casting systems
• Ideal for demo machines and prototype sand casting parts trials
• Optional PLC-controlled automation for precise dosing
• Backed by TES-SAN's domestic spare parts and engineering support

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — Portable Mixer

Which resin systems is the portable mixer compatible with?

The TES-SAN portable mixer is compatible with furan resin, cold-box, and amine gas systems. TES-SAN engineers configure the optimal mixing and dosing setup based on your existing foundry infrastructure.

How does a portable mixer compare to a fixed mixer for the green sand casting process?

For high-volume continuous lines, fixed mixers offer greater throughput. However, the portable mixer delivers significant advantages in multi-zone facilities, demo applications, and flexible production schedules — with minimal infrastructure cost and rapid deployment.

Does relocation require special lifting equipment?

No special equipment is required. A standard industrial forklift or bridge crane is sufficient for safe relocation anywhere within the facility.

Can the portable mixer be used as a demo machine before committing to a full sand casting equipment investment?

Yes. The portable mixer is specifically designed to serve as a demo machine, allowing foundries to evaluate sand casting process parameters under real production conditions before committing to a permanent installation.

Can the portable mixer integrate with other TES-SAN sand preparation systems?

Yes. The portable mixer can be configured alongside the Automatic Dosing System, sand reclamation units, and conveyor lines to form a complete sand preparation infrastructure for your sand casting foundry.

People Also Ask (PAA) — Portable Mixer

How do I choose the right mixer for my sand casting process?

Key selection criteria include required output capacity (tons/hour), resin system type (furan, cold-box), and plant layout. TES-SAN provides free technical assessments to recommend the optimal mixer configuration.

What is the difference between continuous and batch mixing in sand casting equipment?

Continuous mixers produce a steady, homogeneous sand stream ideal for production lines, while batch mixers are suited to lower-volume or variable-recipe applications. TES-SAN portable mixers operate on the continuous principle.

How can foundries reduce sand casting costs?

Integrating an Automatic Dosing System reduces binder consumption by 15–25%, while sand reclamation units minimize fresh sand usage — together delivering the most measurable cost reductions in sand casting operations.
