New Sand Mixer Installed

A new Triton TS2 high speed sand mixer has been installed by FMS at Micron. The mixer has a twin hopper allowing delivery of two different types of sand. The unit has a touch screen programming interface which provides simple control over pump settings.

The mixer will be used primarily for the manufacture of cores, the different sands and the resin/catalyst programmes will combine to gives us tremendous flexibility in terms of the variance of requirements from one core to another.
