## [Sand Cooling: Vulcan Does It All](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/sand_cooling-0621)
[](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/sand_cooling-0621)
##
Quality castings rely on good molding sand produced within the statistical limits developed for permeability, strength, compression, LOI and other molding sand quality measures that a foundry may use. One of the basic requirements to making good quality molding sand is return sand that is within an acceptable temperature range.
Vulcan Engineering Co. offers complete sand cooling solutions to the foundry industry. Vulcan has proven cooling systems for **Green Sand**, **Precision Sand**, **Lost Foam** and **Nobake** molding systems

## A Complete Concept-To-Production Approach
A **greenfield** foundry is what its name implies: a foundry conceived, engineered and built from scratch on a previously unused property. A **brownfield** foundry, on the other hand, is built around the constraints of existing facilities. Though very different with regard to their planning and execution, both require vast amounts of coordination, resources and expertise to come together. Vulcan Engineering has all that covered.

## [Summer Shutdowns = Scheduled Maintenance](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/summermaintenance2)
[](https://blog.vulcangroup.com/summermaintenance2)
Summer is right around the corner, and with it comes opportunities for foundries to shut down and perform their required maintenance and repairs! Keeping your foundry running smoothly and efficiently is our top job at Vulcan Engineering, and that requires the upkeep of existing equipment, and when necessary, the addition of new parts and equipment.
