Used shot and sand mixers for sale: heavy-duty blending for abrasive and dense materials

Used shot and sand mixers are built for high-wear, high-capacity mixing of abrasive media such as foundry sand, steel shot, and refractory compounds. These rugged systems are essential in metal casting, mold making, and surface treatment operations where dense or granular materials must be thoroughly blended. With over 47 years of experience in process equipment, IPP supplies used, surplus and secondhand shot and sand mixers from 20 global plant locations and maintains a ready-to-ship inventory of 15,000+ systems.

IPP frequently offers shot and sand mixers from top manufacturers such as Simpson Technologies, DIDION, Palmer Manufacturing, and Sinto.

Applications and industries

• In foundries, for mixing sand with clay, binders and additives for mold production
• In metalworking, for prepping steel shot or grit for surface finishing or peening
• In refractory manufacturing, for blending fireclay, grog and other high-density powders
• In aerospace and automotive, for consistent media prep in casting or blast cleaning

Types of materials processed

• Green sand and chemically bonded sand
• Steel shot, grit and abrasive powders
• Clay-bound sand and silica-based materials
• Refractory mixes for high-temperature linings

Common materials of construction

Shot and sand mixers are built for extreme wear conditions and high-load blending:

• Abrasion-resistant alloy steel for internal components
• Hardened liners or replaceable wear plates in high-contact zones
• Carbon steel or ductile iron housings for heavy-duty structural integrity
• Dust-sealed enclosures to minimize contamination and material loss

Key features of shot and sand mixers

• Batch or continuous configurations for process flexibility
• Dual-arm or mulling-style blades for high-intensity mixing
• Pneumatic discharge systems for fast material turnover
• Integrated dust control and feed hoppers
• Optional resin or additive injection for mold preparation
