Sand Management — Casting Foundry ERP

Control sand reclamation, additives, moisture and mould quality so mould defects stop at source.

Good moulds start with good sand

A huge share of casting defects trace back to sand — wrong moisture, poor reclamation, additive dosing that drifts. Manage sand loosely and you fight blows, scabs and inclusions batch after batch without knowing why.

This module brings sand under control: reclamation and additive dosing, moisture and property testing, and mould records — so sand stays within spec and mould-related defects are cut at source.

It connects directly to the rest of your Casting Foundry ERP, and can be extended with AI or mobile apps for field teams.

✓
3
Set moisture
Adjust to target moisture.
✓
4
Test properties
Record permeability and GCS.
✓
5
Make moulds
Track moulds and quality.

What it changes for your business

🚫
Fewer sand defects
Moisture, additive and property control cut blows, scabs and inclusions.
♻️
Lower sand cost
Reclamation tracking maximises reuse and reduces new-sand spend.
📊
Know why moulds fail
Linking properties to defects finds root cause instead of guessing.
🎯
Consistent moulds
In-spec sand means consistent, repeatable mould quality.

Sand Management — frequently asked questions

Does it track sand reclamation?

Yes. Reclaimed versus new sand and reclamation performance are tracked, so you maximise reuse and keep new-sand cost down without hurting quality.

Can it control moisture and additives?

It can. Moisture is monitored and adjusted to target, and additive and bentonite dosing is controlled, keeping sand within spec batch after batch.

Does it record sand properties?

Yes. Permeability, green compression strength and other properties are recorded, giving you a testable, trended view of sand condition.

Can it link defects to sand?

It can. Sand properties are linked to mould-related defects, so recurring blows, scabs or inclusions can be traced to root cause rather than guessed at.
