Binder Storage and Dosing
As binder agents used for the core-shooting process have to be stored in accordance with water protection legislation, special considerations must be taken into account for the design of binder storage and dosing facilities. To this end the company KLANN offers variety of storage and dosing equipment, which meet the environmental protection requirements.
Drum Storage
For smaller core shops the binder is mostly delivered in drums, which have to be stored and connected to the dosing equipment. Using a special level gauge device in these drum storages, new binder agents can be ordered in good time.
Container Storage
When using larger quantities of binders in the core shop, containers are used for delivery and storage. Special racks are offered by KLANN for container storage allowing easy exchange and connection. To catch up spillages at the connection points special drawers are installed underneath, which can be easily cleaned. In case of leakages a pan is installed on the rack bottom to catch drips under the complete container volume. The binder is transferred to the dosing station by a sealed double-membrane pump, which is easy accessible.
Binder dosing equipment
In order to assure an exact dosing of the binder components into the mixer special piston pumps are used, these are installed in a cabinet. The set points of the binder volumes can be modified by the PLC. An intermediate reservoir on top of the pumps avoids air suction by the pumps.
