OMEGA Continuous Sand Mixer
OMEGA is the pioneer in continuous sand mixing machines. In the early 1960s molasses and silicates were used; by the 1970s furan resin bonded sand became popular for mould production due to its flexibility and speed of curing — and OMEGA modernised and customised its technology accordingly.
The mixer blends sand with resin and a catalyst or hardener within 3 to 5 seconds — almost zero wastage, full additive control. Continuous sand mixing is essential for an efficient foundry.
