Traditionally, sand cores are used to create complex internal geometries in cast parts, such as those found in the automotive industry. These are often produced using the additive manufacturing process known as binder jetting. “The challenge,” Erhard explains, “is that we frequently encounter technical limitations when designing hollow structures in cast components. The trade-off between mechanical strength…

TCT Tesic, the globally active specialist for used foundry equipment based in Iserlohn, Germany, has once again demonstrated its expertise in international projects. The company was commissioned by the renowned Ukrainian foundry Patar ( www.patar.com/en ) to manage the sale, dismantling, and export of two major pieces of equipment: a DISA molding line and a complete induction furnace system.

This shift is being driven by two converging forces: the rising cost and inconsistency of raw materials, and growing pressure to reduce environmental impact. Foundry sand and scrap metallics each present an opportunity not just for recovery, but for process improvement. Sand Isn’t Just Sand Anymore Fresh foundry sand is expensive to procure, energy-intensive to process, and increasingly subject to…
