The auger includes a spiral flight carried by a hollow shaft and a blower is connected to the outer end of the hollow shaft so that air is supplied through the shaft into the drum. A seal is provided between the non-rotating auger housing and the drum, and the seal includes an annular bearing plate mounted on the end of the drum while a sealing ring is connected to the auger housing and is biased against the plate to provide a seal. The excess air in the heated drum burns off the organic contaminates from the particulate material and calcines the mineral contaminates. The treated particulate material is transferred from the downstream end of the drum to a second cooling drum and air is passed through the second drum countercurrently to movement of the particulate material to cool the material.
66 Sand reclamation system with thermal pipe reclaimer apparatus US521495 1983-08-08 US4565328A 1986-01-21 Vagn Deve
A system (10) particularly suited for treating solid, granular and aggregate material by means of thermal reclamation. The subject (10) includes, arranged in cooperatively associated series relation, storage hopper means (12), heat exchanger means (14), thermal pipe reclaimer means (16) and cyclone scrubber means (18). The function of the storage hopper means (12) is to store therewithin a suitable supply of grain size material, which is to be treated. At a preestablished rate the material is fed from the storage hopper means (12) to the heat exchanger means (14). While traveling through the heat exchanger means (14) the material is preheated to a first temperature. From the heat exchanger means (14) after undergoing metal separation and crushing of lumps, the material is supplied to the thermal pipe reclaimer means (16) wherein the material is heated to a specified temperature for a predetermined period of time in order to effect the burning away of organic matter which the material embodies. After leaving the thermal pipe reclaimer means (16) the material travels to the cyclone/scrubber means (18) wherein the surface of the grain size material is cleansed and post reclamation of the material occurs. The material, which is now at a second temperature, is then again conveyed to the heat exchanger means (14) whereupon during the course of traveling therethrough the material is cooled to a suitable temperature.
67 Heat exchanger with bulk material retarder system US624295 1984-06-25 US4546821A 1985-10-15 Joachim Kummel
A heat exchanger consisting of a housing (1) with integrated caloric surfaces (3) for cooling bulk materials (8)--in particular hot foundry molding sands--comprises a retarder system in the form of a sand cascade which consists of an upper perforated plate (9) with many small individual holes (11), of a lower perforated plate (12) with few individual holes (12), said perforated plates being spaced apart by perforated plates (4,15), the sand flow through the slide system (5,6,14) being controllable and sealable.The passage holes may assume the shapes of triangular, longitudinal or T slots in order to operate such a retarder cooler over a large range of regulation.The perforated spacer plates (4) moreover form a support plate with high static load capacities to absorb the substantial weights of the bulk materials.The holes (15) of the spacer plates (4) allow the retarded material to flow and float in the cascade chambers and thereby assure the transit of the bulk material in uniform manner through the upper cascade plate holes (11) for all loads.
68 Apparatus with heat exchange means for treating solid, granular and aggregate materials US521498 1983-08-08 US4507081A 1985-03-26 Vagn Deve
An apparatus (14) embodying heat exchange means for treating solid, granular and aggregate materials, and in particular for treating spent, i.e., used, chemically bonded foundry sand. The subject apparatus (14) includes a rotatable first chamber means (16) in which the used foundry sand is preheated while traveling in a first direction therethrough from one end thereof to the other end thereof. From the first chamber means (16) the preheated used foundry sand is suitably conveyed to a thermal reclaimer means (12) for purposes of thermally removing organic matter therefrom. Thereafter, the used foundry sand is conveyed to a second chamber means (44) wherein the used foundry sand undergoes post reclamation whereby any organic matter that may yet remain in the foundry sand is thermally removed therefrom. From the second chamber means (44) the used foundry is made to pass into a third chamber means (52) which is located in surrounding heat exchange relation to the first chamber means (16). As the used foundry sand flows through the third chamber means (52) in a second direction heat is exchanged between the foundry sand traveling through the third chamber means (52) and the foundry sand traveling through the first chamber means (16) such that the former loses heat, i.e., is being cooled and the latter absorbs heat, i.e., is being preheated.
69 Air cooling system for a vibratory sand reclaiming apparatus US309560 1981-10-08 US4415444A 1983-11-15 William G. Guptail

The air traveling within the hollow of the ribs is expanded about the lower edges of the ribs and directed upwardly through the bonded sand particles to effect cooling.
70 System and process for abatement of casting pollution, reclaiming resin bonded sand, and/or recovering a low BTU fuel from castings US130256 1980-03-14 US4325424A 1982-04-20 Karl D. Scheffer
A low vacuum is applied to selected surface areas of a resin bonded sand mold to draw ambient air into selected portions of the mold. The air entering the mold burns out a significant portion of the resin binder to form a low BTU gas fuel and to recover casting heat for use in a waste heat boiler or other heat abstractions device. Therefore, foundry air pollution is reduced, the burned out portion of the molding sand is recovered for immediate reuse, and a savings in fuel and energy.

The amount of cooling fluid utilized in the cooling process is controlled by a digital system responsive to the total heat (BTU) content of the sand as determined by a combined function of sand temperature and volume. The temperature and volume parameters are determined by non-contact sensors which take the form of an infrared sensor and sonic sensor, respectively.
73 Process for reclaiming foundry sand wastes US796018 1977-05-11 US4130436A 1978-12-19 Karl V. Hauser; Fred Mencenberg
A process for treating waste foundry core and/or molding sand in a manner which upgrades these scrap streams to new sand quality for entry at the core making point. The process consists of incrementally heating the sand as required up to temperatures in the 1800.degree. to 2500.degree. F range, followed by cooling. The degree of heating is chosen to achieve a desired lowering of acid demand value (ADV) from that which would result from heating only to conventional high temperatures, about 1500.degree. F. Lowering of ADV reduces the variability which would otherwise be introduced into a mixture of new and recycled sand for cores.Heating waste molding sand to the temperatures contemplated by the method of this invention also causes clay additives to fuse, become non-absorptive and thus eliminating the need for mechanical attrition which would otherwise be needed to remove the clay so that it would not absorb high quantities of resin in the core making process. The inventive method also burns off resins from the sand being treated in a manner which eliminates environmental pollution.
74 Apparatus for purifying particulate mould material US545014 1975-01-29 US4089081A 1978-05-16 Hermann Jacob
