Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
122 words
A device for regaining components of knocked-out mold and core sand pieces, which includes: housing means having an inlet and bottom and also having a housing wall portion provided with perforations, rotatable beater means arranged within said housing means adjacent said bottom for crushing knocked-out mold and core sand pieces fed into said housing means through said inlet, and for centrifuging granules and particles corresponding in size to the size of said perforations through the latter, collecting vessel means communicating with said perforations for collecting the crushed material passed from the inside of said housing means through said perforations, and separator means adapted to withdraw crushed material from said collecting vessel means and to separate sand granules from said withdrawn crushed material.
