How do foundries create new life for used sand?
Our casting processes require large volumes of sand, which are continually used, reconditioned and reused in the foundry. Metalcasters use and reuse almost 100 million tons of sand annually. Sand that can no longer be reused in the foundry process is available for beneficial reuse. Most foundries have installed sand reclamation systems that screen the metal and debris out of the sand so that a good, clean product is available for reuse in a variety of applications and industries.
