VIBRA-DRUM® Sand & Casting Conditioners

Casting cooling, shakeout, and sand conditioner— this all in one unit provides the best of GK foundry technologies to process the most fragile of castings. This versatile Two-Mass system gently tumbles castings and provides accelerated casting cooling through equalizing of sand and casting temperatures and the evaporation of moisture. This tumbling action reduces sand lumps to original grain size and blends sand to equalize shakeout sand temperature. The gentle tumbling action of the VIBRA-DRUM® keeps the castings in a bed of sand, never dropping or creating impact during the shakeout process.
