 RotoMax mixer and RMC mixer cooler | A planetary mixer and a mixer cooler that prepare aerated sand for moulding | RTM mixer 14 to 180 t/hr; RMC mixer cooler 10 to 150 t/hr; about 1.8 kWh per tonne of sand; 90+ installed |
 MultiflexFM high pressure moulding | Fully hydraulic, floor-mounted moulding for dense, accurate moulds | Squeeze pressure 6 to 12 kg/cm²; 10 to 150 moulds/hr; below 85 dB; 95 installed |
 EcoFlex sand plant | Compact, modular sand mixing, cooling, handling and dust collection | 3 to 80 t/hr; 30 to 50% less operating energy; 54 installed |
 Sand reclamation (S1 to S4) | Recovers silica sand from green and chemically bonded sand | S1 recovers 75 to 85% of the sand and S4 replaces up to 90% of new sand; 11 plants built |
 Silica Plastic Block (SPB) | Turns foundry dust and used sand, with waste plastic, into blocks, pavers and products | 100% waste input; strength M10 to M30; zero water absorption; 15 plants supplied since 2021 |
| Services | Project engineering, consultancy, after-sales, spares, training and digital support | 24x7 support; Swiss-model training; IoT-enabled data |
