Sand Mixers
Resin sand mixers are not just pieces of equipment. They are crucial equipment in the metal casting industry. Their role is to prepare sand mixtures for creating molds and cores, blending sand with resin and other additives to form a cohesive, high-strength material that can withstand the high temperatures and pressures encountered during metal casting. The efficiency and consistency of these mixers directly influence the quality of the castings produced, as a uniform sand mixture ensures better mold integrity and fewer defects in the final product.
Sand mixers typically feature a robust, high-speed blade system that ensures thorough mixing of the sand and resin components. Advanced models may include features like automated controls for adjusting mixing times and ratios, temperature regulation to optimize resin curing, and sophisticated monitoring systems to ensure uniform consistency. Mixing precision is crucial, as variations can lead to weak spots or irregularities in the castings, potentially affecting their structural integrity and performance.
In addition to improving casting quality, resin mixers contribute to increased efficiency and reduced waste in the foundry. By producing a homogeneous sand mixture, these mixers minimize the need for manual adjustments and rework, leading to a more streamlined production process. Moreover, the use of resin-bound sands often enhances the sand’s recyclability, allowing foundries to reuse the material and reduce overall costs. As technology advances, resin sand mixers continue to evolve, incorporating new innovations to meet the growing demands of the metal casting industry.

About Us
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. is the leading supplier of equipment, consumables, and technical expertise for the metal casting industry. Founded in 1917, by Everett and Milton Carpenter, the brothers were able to use their unique foundry experiences to solve the problem of the day: a reliable sand source. They got their foot in the door by selling natural bonded molding sand, which was mined by hand, loaded into horse-drawn carts, and then delivered to customers. Not only did they sell the sand, but their technical expertise was readily available for all customers, big or small, to help manufacture the best castings. After surviving The Great Depression, Carpenter Brothers, Inc. slowly increased the number of products it distributed and expanded its sales territory into what it is today.
Carpenter Brothers, Inc. has committed itself to its customer's success by providing exceptional service to go along with the superior products and equipment they supply. With multiple warehouses around the United States we can get you the products you need when you need them. Our logistics team can handle getting your order to you by truck, plane, or train. Our technical sales and engineering staff all have experience in the industry, so when you buy from Carpenter Brothers you gain access to all of our knowledge.
