Foundry Conveyors

Engineered for reliability in extreme foundry conditions.

Handles hot castings, sand, scrap, and shakeout materials with ease.

Built to withstand extreme heat, abrasion, and continuous-duty operation.

Reduces maintenance and unplanned downtime with rugged, proven designs.

Engineered for reliable material flow and long service life in demanding foundry conditions.

Heavy-Duty Conveyors for Foundry

Carrier’s heavy-duty conveyors are proven to keep production running for heavier, abrasive payloads in extreme foundry environments. These machines streamline harsh metalcasting processes by moving, cooling, and sorting abrasive, high-temperature materials like sand, scrap, and hot castings.

Our custom designed vibrating foundry conveyors perform a wide variety of functions, including mold dump, sand and castings transfer, casting cooling, and sorting and desprue. Contact a foundry equipment expert for your metalcasting operation.

Features & Benefits

Mold Dump & Castings Transfer Conveyors

Drive system compensates for load fluctuations and can be balanced to minimize reactions.

Thermal expansion decks protect the drive system from high temperatures.

Multi-functional design receives, conveys, scalps, and feeds sand from multiple mold lines and can be configured for inclined conveying.

Troughs can be heated to reduce sand sticking.

Casting Cooling Conveyors

Designed to provide precise retention time to efficiently cool castings to a desired temperature.

Carrier’s proven design allows for thermal expansion, reducing damage and wear to the equipment.

Hoods help the cooling process and provide dust and noise containment.

Sorting & Desprue Conveyors

Customizable to have multiple sorting points for various castings.

Continuously separate castings and remove sprue.

Additional diverters and discharge points can be incorporated for multiple finishing lines.

Noise abatement liners can be added for safety of employees.

Foundry Conveyors FAQs

What foundry materials can Carrier conveyors handle?

Carrier vibrating conveyors are designed to handle a wide range of foundry materials, including hot castings, return sand, mold sand, shakeout material, scrap metal, cores, slag, and other heavy, abrasive bulk materials. Each system is engineered for the specific material characteristics and process requirements.

Can Carrier conveyors operate in high-temperature foundry environments?

Yes. Carrier conveyors are built for the demanding conditions of foundries and can be designed to handle elevated material temperatures. Heavy-duty construction, heat-resistant components, and application-specific engineering ensure reliable performance in harsh operating environments.

How do vibrating conveyors compare to belt conveyors in foundry applications?

Unlike belt conveyors, vibrating conveyors have fewer moving parts exposed to heat and abrasive materials, reducing maintenance requirements and improving reliability. They are well suited for conveying hot, sharp, or heavy materials that can quickly wear conventional belt systems.

Can Carrier customize a conveyor for my foundry process?

Absolutely. Every foundry has unique layouts, material characteristics, and production goals. Carrier engineers custom conveying systems based on throughput, material temperature, equipment integration, available space, and operational requirements to deliver optimal performance.

How can a Carrier vibrating conveyor help reduce maintenance and downtime?

Carrier vibrating conveyors are engineered with rugged, heavy-duty construction to withstand continuous operation in abrasive foundry environments. Their simple, reliable design minimizes wear points, reduces routine maintenance, and helps keep production running with fewer unplanned shutdowns.
