Introducing Palmer Technical Sand
If you’re ready to say goodbye to silica sand and hello to increased casting quality with less scrap, Palmer has the product for you.
All foundries are facing increasing regulatory pressure to eliminate silica sand. Palmer Technical Sand (PTS) is spherical ceramic sand that has superior crushing resistance to silica, chromite, and most ceramic sands. The strength of PTS allows for efficient reclamation in mechanical or thermal applications, reducing scrap.
BENEFITS
- Provides superior finish in 3D sand printing applications
- Eliminates veining defects
- Reduces or eliminates gas defects
- Avoids undesirable reactions with different metals and alloys, resins and additives in the casting process
- Offers high strength and thermal stability to cast complex geometric and thin parts
- Creates a low deterioration effect in the reclaimed sand process
- Eliminates health hazards associated with crystalline silica exposure (which meets the new OSHA silica PEL regulations)
USES
- Alloys for heavy engine parts
- Aluminum automotive engine parts
- Carbon steel turbines
- Cast iron valves
- Non-ferrous alloys aircraft parts
- Special non-ferrous alloys for complex and thin wall components
- Stainless steel marine components

Why We Chose the Palmer M300XLD No-bake Sand Mixer
Rich Chase
Product Manager at Eagle Alloy
"Palmer has the best technology out there for airset molding,"
notes Rich Chase, Product Manager at Eagle Alloy, and Eagle Alloy has already seen the difference compared to the original system. "Even people who know our foundry well, they come in and say, 'that piece is airset casting?' They're surprised. They think it's a shell molding, it looks so good." These castings look so good thanks to a slew of innovations. Palmer is a pioneer in mixer technology, and with their M300XLD they've got the best of their new features on display.
As described above, airset casting is a metalcasting process that uses chemically bonded sand to create molds. Mixers like the M300XLD are a huge part of the process because they determine the consistency and quality of the sand/chemical mixture. Different parts require different mixes, based on the alloy being cast as well as the size and shape of the part. A good mixer helps foundry operators adjust a mix with precision and accuracy, allowing easy changeovers and consistent adhesion throughout a run of parts.
The M300XLD uses an air actuated system to coat the sand in binding chemicals. This mechanism is essentially a nozzle that knows exactly where to spray the binding agent to guarantee perfect dispersion across the mix, which means virtually no chemical or sand waste, and even better-quality castings. "Our molds are crisper, with sharper edges and better detail. The chemicals are set perfectly. We had good quality before, but I know this is better quality," adds Rich.
And toggling between projects is now fully automated. Since different parts require different mixes, airset operators often move between different recipes with distinct sand and chemical measurements. With the flip of a switch, this machine recalibrates and starts pumping out the new mix.

Jack Palmer Interview: From foundry rat to industrial choreographer
WYSO | By Tom Stafford
Springfield, Ohio of the 1960s and 70s was an industrial town full of hot, gritty foundries. Jack Palmer, the son of a foundry foreman, knew those dim lit places as well as any foundry rat. In them, he learned the fundamental lessons that now have products with his name – and his father’s – in 27 countries.
At 68, Jack Palmer is as no-nonsense as his work clothes: a long sleeved white shirt and blue jeans under a head of solid white hair.
"I grew up in the foundry," Palmer says. "I started working when I was 14. My main job was always making things or fixing things. Wire, plumb, hydraulic. I knew what worked and I knew what didn’t. I knew what was good and I knew what sucked."
New Palmer CNC Automatic Grinder
Palmer introduces its 5-Axis CNC Automatic Grinder with the same heavy-duty long- lasting design that is a Palmer hallmark.
This automatic high-speed grinder reduces finishing time, which reduces labor costs and injuries. This grinder will perform the work of 3-5 manual grinders, with higher quality that is repeatable. Ideal for grinding/deburring of iron, steel, brass and bronze castings in both jobbing and high production foundries. Two sizes of machines to process castings from a few lb to 1.25 tons.
Benefits
- Reduced floor space due to small footprint
- Reduced power & air consumption vs manual grinding
- Reduced labor from high-speed grinding and fast part changeovers
- Reduced training time with user-friendly programming
Standard Features
- Rotating diamond wheel & diamond pencil tool
- Robotic load/unload option available
- Heavy cast iron base to control vibrations
- Moveable control panel

The KLEIN PLUG FLO® System
The KLEIN PLUG FLO® system makes it possible to transport sand through pipelines with very little degradation. Lower air pressure, lack of fluidization air boosters and the KLEIN PLUG FLO® principle result in lower air consumption and therefore smaller dust collection system requirements at the receiver. The KLEIN PLUG FLO® system is especially suitable for granular, free flowing materials and offers lower wear and abrasion as well as minimum material separation or reaction during the transport phase.
Specifications
Operating rates up to 20 Tons per Hour per Unit
Benefits:
- No fluidization requirement eliminating product segregation
- No boosters required, system efficiency is increased and installation costs are lower
- Lower transport velocities - Only 40 to 450 feet per minute transport velocity resulting in less material degradation and drastically reducing pipe wear
- Very low air consumption per ton
- Standard Schedule 40 pipe, which lowers system installation and initial startup
- Minimal maintenance due to reduced wear and moving parts
- Standard operating sand temp up to 120°F

2020 marks a major milestone for Palmer Manufacturing & Supply, as we celebrate our 45th anniversary.
Palmer started as a jobbing iron and aluminum foundry in 1975. Since that time, Palmer has grown into one of the world's most recognized names in foundry equipment manufacturing, with a worldwide representation network without whom we could never meet the needs of our customers. With a product line that grows as fast as it can be designed, Palmer now aggressively pursues global growth not only in the foundry industry, but in industrial markets as well.
"The last 45 years have given us plenty of reasons to celebrate," said Jack Palmer, President, Palmer Manufacturing & Supply. Through continuous investment and technology improvements, Palmer uses state-of the-art manufacturing processes to drive important leading-edge industry advancements that significantly increase productivity while reducing costs.
Palmer's roots as foundry men, causes us to look at things from the foundry perspective-which has led to innovations that are changing the way the foundry floor produces castings—to drastically increase productivity. Our introduction of the Universal Molding Machine is just one example of the most exciting innovations to hit the foundry floor in decades.
"We are proud to have played such a defining role in the advancements of mold, core, and material handling technologies, automation, and engineering as a 100% USA owned and operated company. And, the most important thing we are proud to be doing-is protecting American jobs.

Whiting-Turner Contracting recently wrote this statement about how pleased they were with our installation of a molding system.
In 2020, Palmer completed a molding system installation for Whiting-Turner Contracting.
"It has certainly been a pleasure doing business with everyone at Palmer. Your engineering team was very responsive throughout the entire process. Brandon Myers was excellent at responding to all questions, concerns, and managing the installation and training. We also appreciated being able to come to the Palmer production facility to inspect the equipment. Additionally, we felt your technical sales staff did a great job in explaining the system prior to purchase.
Our system arrived in excellent condition and your team did a great job completing the installation despite the difficult environment. Most importantly, Palmer responded to punch list items in a timely manner. I wish to also highlight the professional and informative training provided by both Brandon Myers and Ken Strausbaugh with the owner and operators. We are pleased to also report that the Palmer mixer and equipment in the foundry are performing well."
