[0002] Foundry sand recycling and cleaning refers to the process of cleaning, recycling, and reusing sand molds and cores used in the casting process. During the casting process, sand molds and cores may sinter, agglomerate, or break due to high temperatures and the action of molten metal, requiring cleaning and repair to ensure the quality and efficiency of the next casting.

[0003] The main steps in the recycling and cleaning of foundry sand include:

[0004] Sand mold and core mold separation: The casting that has been completed is removed from the sand mold and core mold.

[0005] Sand and core mold crushing: Sand molds and core molds are crushed using crushing equipment to break them down into smaller particles.

[0006] Sand mold and core mold screening: The crushed sand mold and core mold particles are screened by screening equipment to separate sand materials of different particle sizes.

[0007] Cleaning and impurity removal: The screened sand is cleaned to remove impurities and metal residues.

[0008] Drying and baking: The cleaned sand is dried and baked to remove moisture and volatile substances, thereby improving the quality of the sand.
