Cooler Classifers

 

 

If you need to knock some temperature and dust out of your sand, Gudgeon Thermfire’s line of Cooler Classifiers will do the job. Models range from 2 tons per hour up to 20 tons per hour.

 

• Fluidized sand provides a gentle polishing action which releases some dust and chemical from the sand.

 

• A dust collector provides a slight negative pressure in the machine which allows for extraction of dust and other particulate.

 

• 400ᵒ F (~200ᵒC) to 85ᵒ F (30ᵒC). Temperatures may vary.

 

• Easy to maintain with many access plates to facilitate ease of cleanout.

 

• Flexible design allows us to meet any need or demand, whether custom or off the shelf.

 

• Integrate into current foundry process with ease with our expertly crafted 3D layout and installation drawings.

 

• We use a premier blower manufacturer for the fluidizing fan, which will give you years of trouble free service.

 

• Don’t need cooling? We will reduce the price of the unit to just provide classification of the sand.

 

 

 

The full system requires a dust collector, water cooling tower & pump (if cooling) and control panel.
