PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A mid-size foundry was seeking an efficient method to elevate foundry sand to a height of 21 feet to feed their sand mixing machine.

The foundry had been using a crane to hoist bags of sand up to workers who emptied the bags into the mixer's hopper. The foundry owners considered purchasing a pneumatic conveyor to elevate their sand.

Instead, they purchased a 4-inch diameter OLDS ELEVATOR™ vertical conveyor for a fraction of the cost of the pneumatic conveyor. It delivers sand to a height of 21 feet at a rate of 6 tons per hour.
