Abstract (en)

[origin: US4501313A] In a foundry apparatus for clearing sand from castings comprising a conveyor and a supporter for the castings and for moving them from the conveyor into an abrasive blasting cabinet (or other sand removing unit) while turning the castings about a horizontal axis, in order to make transport simpler and to make certain that even complex castings are completely cleaned, a transport unit is used for taking up and supporting the castings and is supported on the supporter. The transport unit has a platform-like lower support in the form of a grid to be joined to the supporter by mating parts on the supporter and on the lower support. The mating parts are designed to keep the lower support in a generally horizontal position. The transport unit further is designed for forming a basket with a keeper element on the supporter and the basket is able to be opened and shut.
