Foundry Sands
Adelaide Industrial Sands processes high purity, 99%+ silica foundry sand with consistent grade distribution. Its sub-rounded to rounded grain shape provides grain-to-grain contact with greater packing density, helping deliver higher quality casting with a better surface finish. The reduced surface area also requires less resin to achieve superior tensile strength, while the grains hardness supports lower attrition and increased sand reclamation.
Applications
Our foundry sands are suited to foundry applications where casting quality and sand consistency are important, including:
- Higher quality casting
- Applications requiring a better surface finish
- Processes where lower resin demand is beneficial
- Operations focused on improved sand reclamation
Quality and Processing
Adelaide Industrial Sands processes high purity, 99%+ silica foundry sand with consistent grade distribution for foundry applications. All AIS sands are washed, dried and screened to meet industry standards and customer specification. For foundry use, the sub-rounded to rounded grain shape provides grain-to-grain contact with greater packing density, helping deliver higher quality casting and a better surface finish. The reduced surface area also requires less resin to achieve superior tensile strength, while the grains hardness supports lower attrition and increased sand reclamation.
