Sand reclamation is a process of sand cleaning. In this process, foundry sand is reconditioned without affecting its physical properties. Blinders and coating adhere to sand grains during intense thermal operations such as casting production, which are removed by reclamation process which helps in using the sand for subsequent use. Sand, with mixture of coating and binders, go through the grinding process during the sand reclamation process. Then dust like particles which are too coarse get removed by vibration. Then sand is sent to final cleaning process. Reclamation of sand can be done by mechanical process, or wet reclamation and thermal reclamation. In addition, this process can be combined together to improve the sand quality. Lack of new source of sand is creating hurdles for foundry and construction industry. Sand reclamation provides solution to this problem by reusing the existing sand. Therefore, foundry and construction company owners are opting this process which is expected to boost the growth of the reclamation sand market in the near future.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- COVID-19 has already affected the sales of reclamation sand in the second and third quarter of 2020 and is reviving in 2021.
- The major demand for reclamation sand was previously noticed from countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, UK, and India, which are negatively affected by the spread of the corona virus, thereby declining the demand for reclamation sand.
- Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Reclamation sand manufacturers can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players have to modify their investment plans.
Top Impacting Factors
Sand is very important material required for construction. Lack of new sources of sand and growth of construction industry is one of the key factors driving the growth of the reclamation sand market. Furthermore, reclamation sand plays an important part in metal casting process to reduce the cost of casting without affecting the quality of casting. It also helps in reducing the environmental impact of metal casting process. This is another factor which is driving the reclamation sand market. Lack of new sources of sand and cost involved in reclamation process are the factor which can hamper the market growth of reclamation sand.
Market Trends
- Thermal reclamation processed sand is dominating the global market among all other processed sands. Use of thermal reclamation offers time and cost efficiency.
- There is an increase in the price of silica sand which surges the demand for thermal and mechanical sand reclamation system in the global market. This trend is encouraging the manufacturer to make sand system affordable in small and medium size industries.
- Rise in demand for vehicle in the automobile sector boosts the growth of the manufacturing and casting of internal combustion engines. Reclamation sand is required during the casting of these engines. This factor is expected to create new opportunities for the sand reclamation market.
- Key players in the market are collaborating to generate incremental opportunities. For example, DIDION which is a machine manufacturer and Sinto which manufacture the foundry equipment are collaborating with Scania AB, which is a commercial vehicle manufacturer to provide the reclamation sand.
