In more detail
For a 400 tonne a month foundry, the number of drives falls from 17 (117 HP) to 11 (100 HP), and dust collection from 9 points (40 HP) to 4 points (15 HP). That is about half the dust-control energy, with a smaller shed and floor area.
Together with MultiflexFM. For a 400 tonne a month foundry, the combined moulding and sand plant needs about 2,500 sq ft of plant space. It needs 7 people a shift against 10, and moulding productivity is 19 tonnes per person per month against 15 on jolt squeeze, in ideal conditions.
