Ceramic media improves casting quality, reduces production time
 

Eagle Foundrys’ operation needed to achieve compliance with OSHA silica dust permissible exposure limits (PEL) without compromising product quality, process efficiency or economic performance. They decided to replace its entire silica sand system with Carbo Ceramics’ Accucast ID (intermediate density) 70 ceramic casting media. As a result, CARBO Accucast reduced resin, media costs, media consumption, surface cleaning time, and improved the casting surface finish. Modern Casting, June 2018
