SphereOX is a blend of iron oxides with a spherical grain shape and high iron contents.
SphereOX
Advantages of SphereOX: High purity no free silica or heavy metals Little surface less binder consumption
SphereOX
Which binder system yields the best effects? Cold box Askoset Epoxy/SO2 Avenol
SphereOX
Less surface - Requires less binder, round vs. angular grain size
Plasticity is increased - Sand expands without developing veining
SphereOX
Addition levels:
Possible savings:
Substituting the existing sand mixtures lead to the following savings: 100% chromite sand 70% chromite sand 40% chromite sand 30% - 80% 10% - 75% up to 50%
SphereOX
A foundry has been using 100% chromite sand. This quality can be substituted with 8% SphereOX added to the silica sand. The mixed sand costs were lowered by approx. 68%.
Reclamation of sand: Part of the SphereOX is separated by a magnetic separator Part of the SphereOX is removed as fines content from the sand circulation -> This eliminated an unwanted accumulation of product in the mold material.
