The Sand Muller
This page is under construction. Details and
explanations of the pics will be added later. The muller was built by Dick
Kostelnicek of the Home Metal
Shop Club of Houston, about 25 years ago. It is undergoing the repair
of a leaky gearbox seal. The muller
is getting a real workout with the development of H-Bond sand that I have
been working on.
The
picture below is not a muller - it's a sand mixer that is nothing more than a
drillpress with a homemade blade. It does a decent job of mixing some
oil-bonded sands, but not all. The slowest speed that I can set the
drillpress is about 240 rpm. That's a bit fast for mixing oil-based
foundry sand. That's why I got the muller.
