The Stuart McElrath Company supplies Quality Electric Steel Castings, LP of Houston Texas with a VSM Nobake shakeout and 3 sided dust hood. The VSM Shakeout is designed to hold sand molds and castings, with or without flasks, up to 40,000 lbs. in capacity while processing sand at 30 tons per hour. In actual operation, this unit processed Nobake sand at rates of 50 to 60 tons per hour.

SMC also supplied a three sided dust hood to capture dust generated from the shakeout process. The hood was designed with an exo-skelton frame to protect the metal walls from damage by flasks. The 3-sided dust hood also incorporates an internal baffle system to allow the suction to be balanced on a per side basis.
