The Simpson Multi-Mull continuous green sand mixer was introduced in anticipation of the development of high speed, automated molding systems. Today hundreds of continuous mixers are in daily use in the global foundry industry. Now, with the advancement in sensors, control systems, mechanical components and related technologies a new generation of the Simpson Multi-Mull advances the continuous mixer to a new level of performance and capability unequaled by any batch mixer. The modern Simpson Multi-Mull is an integrated system of machine and automation that supports the optimal performance of the new automated molding lines.
We frequently heard small foundries needed automation and control for their mixers but they did not need all of the features our most advanced Hartley offered and that the most advanced Hartley was not affordable for a small foundry. To address these concerns we completely redesigned the model 18Mk2/2502 into a smaller, simpler but still very capable, new model #2502-L1. Now, even small foundries can get complete mixer automation and precise compactability control at an affordable price.
The Simpson Hartley on-line controller has been designed to precisely control green sand compactability and provide full automation for an entire mixer/muller group. The controller also measures and records green strength and moisture. The new Model #2552-C1 is optimized to be integrated with and fully automate the Simpson Multi-Mull continuous mixer and it includes several new “Industry 4.0” focused features including machine vibration and temperature monitoring to provide feedback to maintenance personnel on potential developing problems.
