Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0597335A1] Used foundry sand is cleaned by a process in which it is circulated in a processing chamber and frictional forces which break open the binder shell and separate it from the sand grain are exerted on the particles of used sand and the mixture of substances formed is cleaned physically, thereby increasing the proportion of sand. In order to allow effective cleaning, part of the mixture of substances is removed from the processing chamber after passing through the friction zone and passed into a separate cleaning chamber, where it is cleaned, after which the precleaned used sand is returned to the processing chamber. <IMAGE>
