Case Study
Working with a Historic Foundry
Having been in the foundry business for over 100 years, Rowe has seen their fair share of No-bake foundry equipment come through its doors. Rowe Foundry came to GK when they were having issues with their shakeout. The competitor’s unit had issues from start-up, needing to be rewelded at every shutdown among other issues. After trying to resolve the issue with no success, the Foundry reached out to GK in search of a solution. General Kinematics custom engineered a Two-Mass Shakeout and VIBRA-MILL® Vibratory Batch Sand Reclamation to handle the job. After a few adjustments resolved Rowe’s issues. The equipment provided a smaller footprint but broke the sand down at a better rate.
