Green Sand Reclamation

Turn Waste Green Sand Back into High-Value Foundry Sand

LANCO combines pretreatment, thermal regeneration and intensive post-treatment to remove clay, fines and combustible residues from waste green sand and restore sand quality for foundry reuse.

WHY LANCO GREEN SAND RECLAMATION

Recover the material.
Restore its value.

01

Reduce New Sand Consumption

Recover valuable silica sand from waste green sand and reduce dependence on new sand.

02

Reduce Waste Disposal

Convert waste sand from a disposal burden into reusable production material.

03

Create Higher-Value Reclaimed Sand

The combined regeneration process removes residual clay, fines and combustible material and improves reclaimed-sand quality.

PROCESS / FROM WASTE TO REUSE

A complete route back
to foundry production.

Mechanical preparation, thermal regeneration and intensive cleaning work together to address different residues on the sand.

  1. Waste Green Sand

  2. Pretreatment

  3. Thermal Regeneration

  4. Cooling & Cleaning

  5. Classification

  6. High-Quality Reclaimed Sand

THREE CORE TECHNOLOGIES

Each stage has
a specific job.

Pretreatment / Sheller

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Pretreatment / Sheller

Removes fines and preliminary surface impurities before thermal regeneration.

≥80%Impurity removal efficiency

Moisture content, equipment speed and treatment time inform the pretreatment setup.

Thermal Regeneration Furnace

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Thermal Regeneration Furnace

High-temperature regeneration removes combustible residues such as coal powder and resin film from the sand surface.

100%Combustible impurity removal

LOI ≤ 0.1%

Intensive Grinding and Cleaning

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Intensive Grinding & Cleaning

Removes residual fine powder and clay after thermal regeneration and improves particle sphericity.

≤0.2%Silt content

ADV ≤ 6 mL/g

Performance depends on incoming sand condition and the configured treatment process. Project specifications are established during engineering evaluation.

APPLICATION EXPERIENCE

Developed Through
China’s Foundry Scale

China is home to one of the world’s largest concentrations of foundry production. LANCO’s Green Sand Reclamation technology has been developed and proven through repeated industrial applications across automotive, engine and heavy-industry foundries.

This application experience allows LANCO to engineer reclamation systems around different waste-sand conditions, capacities and reuse requirements.

CAPACITY / PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Capacity for Industrial Reclamation

LANCO configures each Green Sand Reclamation plant according to waste-sand volume, sand condition, target reclaimed-sand quality and downstream reuse requirements.
