When I bought much of my foundry tools a Mini-Mote muller was part of the deal, it needed work, coupler was loose, scraper arm broken, but for the 60$ bucks I gave for all of them, the molding bench, 4 aluminum flasks, B16 crucible furnace, misc tools, I'm not going to complain!
Now this does about enough sand for a cope or drag 12 by 12 by 4 flask.
Years later I came across the Simpson, on of the guys on the yahoogroup Micheal Boettiker (sp?) found it thru the Wisconsin state school surplus. So I went up to Madison and paid him for the muller, then drove 7 hours hoe happy as can be. It had been reduced to 250 was 300, I gave Mike the 300! Here is some pics of it as we unloaded it and in action this does 3 full flasks, but that is at the limit of the VFD driving the 3 hp motor.
I like my mixer (hf) for adding oil to rejuvenate the petrobond sand,but the muller is so much better reworking the sand in between uses that is for another post.
