英文原文 Sand mixer Abstract: A foundry sand mixer for mixing and dispensing silica or green sand and their additives through the enclosed longitudinal belt conveyor mechanism having a plurality of openings in the top communicating with a first feeder disposed above the enclosed longitudinal belt conveyor mechanism and including a pair of openings in the bottom. The first feeder includes an auger-type conveyor and a sand weir communicating with the most upstream opening in the first feeder. A first hopper for containing silica sand and a second hopper for containing green sand are disposed over the first feeder. A selective valve is disposed at the bottom of each of the first and second hoppers permitting the flow of sand through only one of the hoppers at any time or preventing the flow of any sand from the hoppers. The mixer may include additional feeders, some of which are disposed above and downstream from the first feeder, and others including pumps are connected to a plurality of fluids that are fed through a constant speed mixer where the materials are mixed and the mixed materials delivered at a discharge opening.
