Lake Sand
Lake Sand
The sub-rounded shape and natural oxides make our lake sands ideal for iron foundries. No other type of sand has the excellent anti-veining characteristics of lake sands, enabling foundries to eliminate expensive additives and instead rely on the consistency of the lake sands. These fine bank sands also perform well as additives to green sand systems.
Features & Benefits
• Excellent performance in green sand systems
• Superior anti-veining properties
• High quality with cpk’s that exceed 3
• Extremely consistent and low ADV (>5)
• Finer lake sands make an excellent molding addition
• Washed and dried for better coating of the binder to the grains
• PLC controlled blending ensures consistent particle size distribution
"Prior to our relationship with Weaver Materiel, we were purchasing riser sleeves direct from the OEM. As a stocking distributor, Weaver typically is able to deliver same or next day. OEM lead times averaged three to four weeks. With Weaver, I've been able to reduce my working inventory by about 40%."
