The Versatile VCCD I Digital Compactibility Tester gives a direct digital reading of green sand compactibility (0-70%), replacing the manual scale method for faster, operator-independent sand control. Results sync to the cloud through VSync web sync.
DIGITAL COMPACTIBLITY TESTER Model VCCD I
Description
Digital Compactibility Tester VCCD I
The Versatile VCCD I Digital Compactibility Tester gives foundries a fast, direct-reading measurement of green sand compactibility – one of the most important control parameters on the moulding line. It replaces the manual specimen-tube-and-scale method with a clear digital readout, removing operator variation and speeding up shop-floor decisions.
Why compactibility matters
Compactibility reflects the moisture-to-clay balance of prepared moulding sand. Holding it inside the target band is essential for consistent mould strength, good flowability and defect-free castings. Measuring it on every batch lets the sand plant correct water addition before problems reach the mould.
Key features
- Direct digital readout of compactibility percentage – no manual scale to read
- Measuring range 0-70% compactibility
- Standard rammed-specimen method for full correlation with AFS and laboratory practice
- VSync web sync: log and trend compactibility across shifts and view results from any browser
