Used shot and sand mixers – industrial mixing equipment for sale

Buy used, surplus & second-hand shot and sand mixers from IPP – ready to ship

When your process requires precise blending of abrasive materials like sand, shot, or metallic granules, shot and sand mixers offer the durability and mixing power needed for demanding industrial applications. With more than 47 years of experience, IPP provides one of the largest selections of used process equipment, sourced from 20 complete plant sites and featuring over 15,000 ready-to-ship pieces. By choosing used shot and sand mixers from IPP, companies can reduce capital investment and avoid extended lead times associated with new equipment.

Shot and sand mixers are designed to handle the heavy wear and high impact forces involved in mixing abrasive materials. These mixers use robust agitators, lined mixing chambers, and high-torque drives to ensure uniform blends while resisting premature wear. They are indispensable in foundries, metal casting, and abrasive material preparation.

Primary uses across industries

In foundries, shot and sand mixers blend molding sands, binders, and additives to create high-quality casting molds and cores.
In metal processing, they prepare abrasive blasting media for surface treatment applications.
In construction materials, they mix specialty sands, aggregates, and pigments for concrete products.
In abrasives manufacturing, they homogenize materials for producing grinding wheels, blasting media, and coated abrasives.

Types of materials processed

Foundry sands and core materials
Shot blasting media (steel shot, aluminum oxide, glass bead)
Ceramic and refractory materials
Construction sands and specialty aggregates

Common materials of construction

Because of the abrasive nature of the materials being processed, shot and sand mixers are built with durability as the top priority:

Carbon steel with hardened liners for foundry and abrasive processes
Stainless steel for specialty sand blends in sanitary or chemical processes
Abrasion-resistant alloys for handling hard or angular materials
Replaceable wear liners for extended service life and reduced maintenance costs

Key features of shot and sand mixers

Heavy-duty construction for abrasive materials
High-torque agitators for thorough blending
Replaceable wear parts to extend mixer lifespan
Batch or continuous operation depending on process needs
Optional dust control and containment features
