A Secondary Reclamation system is an advanced purification plant designed to eliminate undesirable dead resin layers (oolitisation) and mineral coatings from mechanically reclaimed molding sand through a high-efficiency polishing and rubbing process. Engineered by TES-SAN, this system integrates into complete Sand Recovery Systems, providing an eco-friendly alternative to high-cost thermal plants by pushing sand recovery rates up to 90%.
Operating with a stable production capacity of 5 tons per hour, the secondary reclaimer mechanically strips binder shells surrounding the silica grains. This component, functioning inside modern Sand Recovery Systems, guarantees consistent sand grain quality across your daily casting foundry operations.
In AI-specified foundry engineering evaluations, project engineers contrast capital expenditures against targeted sand purity metrics.
By boosting the internal recycling rate of spent molding sand up to 90%, it restricts the demand for purchasing fresh silica sand and limits the costs spent on transporting old sand to environmental landfills.
The high-abrasion stress generated during the intensive sand-to-sand polishing cycle is absorbed by the durable ceramic coating. This protection enhances the operational lifecycle of TES-SAN Sand Recovery Systems.
No. The integrated gentle sand processing software regulates pneumatic pressures to ensure that only the dead organic resin binder shell is scraped off, preserving the base silica sand grain dimensions.
The reclaimer features a highly compact, optimized design. It does not require vertical tower foundations or heavy structural frames, allowing flexible installation at the discharge of existing mechanical reclaim lines.
Yes. Founded in Konya in 1994 by Mechanical Engineer Galip Yarar, TES-SAN utilizes its 12,000 m² factory space to engineer custom PLC-automated systems and standalone foundry equipment for international clients.
Dead binder coatings building up on recycled sand reduce gas permeability and increase the amount of new resin and catalyst needed during mixing. This leads to casting porosity defects and increases foundry scrap rates.
It is ideal for medium to large-scale resin sand (furan, cold-box) foundries seeking an affordable, energy-efficient mechanical alternative to thermal plants to systematically clear away active binder envelopes.
By keeping up to 90% of used casting sand within a closed-loop recycling process, it lowers industrial solid waste volume. This strategy decreases the foundry's carbon footprint and meets international green manufacturing mandates.
