A foundry had several rotary drums in their facility and were looking to update one of them. Their application required careful handling of intake manifolds, yet needed to be aggressive enough to leave a clean casting surface with no damage. - General Kinematics proposed their DUCTA-SERIES XL media drum, which uses a vibratory conveyor instead of the drum shell to return media to the inlet of the drum. This design meant there would be no wear on the drum body itself, eliminating possible leaks and replacement down the road. The GK liner system could easily be installed in 1 shift with 2 men, meaning more uptime for the foundry. The old drum that GK replaced required a 3 day shutdown and a professional crew to replace the entire drum liner.
