Bucket Elevator

Easily elevate your material in a small footprint with TUFFMAN bucket elevators. TUFFMAN bucket elevators are ideal for conveying many bulk materials such as sand, pellets, ash, shot, or powder. These bucket elevators feature a centrifugal discharge and can handle up to 175 tons per hour standard. The material transfer buckets are made of nylon material or ductile iron, capable of handling extreme temperatures.

Contact TUFFMAN today to find the perfect bucket elevator for your system!

Sorting Stations

Tuffman® Sorting Stations are available in various sizes, including QC, 3-Bin, 4-Bin, 6-bin, 8-bin, and 12-bin models, and are ideal for sorting construction and demolition debris and municipal solid waste material.

Lost foam casting process

The lost foam casting process begins with a polystyrene foam pattern that is manipulated to form a mold. A refractory coating (or ceramic investment) is used to cover this foam pattern. This coating helps protect the smooth foam surface from the rough sand surface. After the coating is finished drying, the foam pattern is placed in a flask and is surrounded by un-bonded sand. A vibration table is then used to compact the sand, and the mold is then ready to be poured. Molten metal is poured into the polystyrene foam pattern which gets vaporized, leaving behind the metal. Finally, in the last part of the lost foam casting process, refractory coating is removed exposing the metal part.

Are you going to push a glowing red casting onto a rubber belt? No. How about hot flowing sand onto an apron or metal belt conveyor? Only if you like to sweep. Only one technology meets the demanding environment of a hot and abrasive foundry, and that is vibratory conveyors from General Kinematics.
