Abstract

A method and apparatus for preparing relatively large size foundry moulds and cores from cold-setting foundry sand mixtures wherein successive batches of sand and binder on the one hand with sand and catalyst on the other hand are mixed in a chamber having a rotary mixing element. The batches are discharged from the chamber by gravity into a mould or core box and the chamber is purged by a blast of compressed gas between the successive mixing operations.
