1. Sand Handling System            (Pic 1, Pic 2)
    After Mould is broken, sand need to be recycled and processed to make it reusable. We errect and commission complete sand recycling and processing plant. It consists of following essential equipment:
       Knockout machine
       Vibratory sand feeders
       Belt conveyors
       Bucket elevators
       Sand sieves
       Sand aerators
       Sand storage bunkers
       Sand mixer mullers
       Moulding machine hoppers with fishmouth gate

2. Mould Handling System           
    SANES supply manual/semi-automatic/fully automatic systems of various types for mould handling. Major varieties are mentioned below. Contact us for your customized requirement.
       Gravity roller conveyors.
       Pallet conveyors with manual transfer trolleys.
       Fully automatic (PLC controlled) pallet conveyors with hydraulically or pneumatically operated pallet pushers and transfer lines.
       Fully automatic closed loop pallet car conveyors with hydraulic drive & PLC controls.
       Mould punch out machine integrated with pallet conveyor.
       Prepared mould handling overhead trolleys.

3. Molten Metal Handling System
    This type of project includes fabrication, erection and commissioning of overhead monorail, monorail trolley, geared ladle handler, pouring ladles, holding ladle etc. Monorail trolleys are designed for smooth movement on bends. The ladle handler has spur gear train with rack for movement of ladle up and down. Special friction brake is provided to arrest free fall of ladle during its downward movement. Tilting gearboxes for ladles include worm wheel with phosphor-bronze rim and C.I. hub, hardened steel worm shaft, bevel gears, taper roller and single row deep grove bearings and EN-8 shafts. Ladles are balanced around their C.G. to ensure minimum effort for the operator.

4. Raw Material Handling System
    This is a fully automatic charging system for cupola raw material. Raw material such as coke, pig iron, limestone, cast iron scrap, MS scrap etc. is stored in bunkers with vibrofeeders at their bottom. A collection hopper     mounted on a trolley with load cells collects material from bunkers via the vibrofeeders. Load cells facilitate collection of desired charge mix. Entire     batch, after collection, is brought to skip hoist charger & dumped into it. The skip in turn dumps raw material into cupola. Movement of material collection trolley, weighment of raw material, starting & stopping of vibro feeders and all other operations are controlled by PLC.

5. Hot Blast Cupolas
    Hot gases arising out of burning of coke in a conventional cupola are wasted to atmosphere. They are generally at a temperature of around 450 deg. centigrade to 600 deg. centigrade. If these gases are trapped and used to heat the fresh air which is being inducted into cupola, efficiency of cupola increases. We supply heat exchanger system for this purpose, which can be attached to existing cupolas. It can be also made common to two cupolas, one being in operation at a time.
