Keystone Foundry’s Cleaning Room Equipment

  • Didion Rotary Shake: Out Tunnel: This machine separates sand from casting by breaking up the molds and removing sand from the surface of the castings. It’s particularly effective for larger or more complex castings and ensures they are clean and ready for further processing. 
  • Vibratory Conveyors: These conveyors gently transport castings while removing excess sand and debris through vibration. They are ideal for maintaining the integrity of delicate castings while efficiently moving them through the cleaning process. 
  • Multiple-Station Grinding: These grinding stations are equipped with various tools to remove excess material from castings, such as gates and risers. They are versatile and can handle different metals, providing a smooth and precise finish, no matter the complexity of the casting.
  • Cut-Off Saws: Used for cutting through metal, these saws efficiently remove larger sections of excess material from castings. They are essential for preparing castings for final finishing or future machining. 
  • Belt Grinders: These grinders use abrasive belts to smooth and shape castings, providing a uniform surface finish. They are particularly useful for castings that require a high level of detail and protection.
  • Disc Grinders: These grinders utilize rotation discs with abrasive surfaces. They are ideal for flat or contoured surfaces. They provide a smooth, even finish and effectively prepare castings for further processing, finishing, or assembly.
  • Goff Shot Blast & Separator: This machine blasts castings with steel shot to remove surface contaminants, including the shot material. It’s perfect for producing a clean, polished surface on a wide range of castings. 

Each cleaning tool ensures you receive a high-quality, precisely finished casting that meets your customers’ specific needs.
