Innovative Features, Less Maintenance, Exceptional Service

How do you make a product better? You ask the people who are using it. That is exactly what GK did when designing the DUCTA-SERIES™ line of rotary drums. Easy to service design, liners that don’t require a football team to install, and a total package concept with GK Sales and Service to back you up are just a few of the advantages GK’s DUCTA-SERIES™ brings to your foundry.

Custom Solutions Tailored to Your Process

Every foundry has unique requirements, and GK’s DUCTA-SERIES™ rotary foundry drums are customized to fit your specific process and installation needs. Whether you need to separate sand, tramp metal, or other media, GK rotary drums can be tailored to provide the most effective solution for your operation.

Superior Separation and Screening with our LOCK-TITE™ liners

Our patented LOCK-TITE™ liner system has more open area than cast grid liners, allowing faster removal of sand and tramp metal from your castings. Liners are constructed from abrasion-resistant materials, including AR 450 or optional TRI-BRAZE® wear plate, for significantly longer service life than austempered ductile liner panels. Each panel is designed to maximize service life and process throughput… no cookie-cutter cast panels that only kind of do the job. And unlike those old cast grids, if your process requirements change, you can easily modify LOCK-TITE™ liners to move, lift, and screen the way you want them to.

Do you have an existing rotary drum that you want to upgrade to use LOCK-TITE™ liners? No problem! Many of North America’s leading foundries have already switched to GK LOCK-TITE™ liners, drum bodies, and components to maximize the performance of their existing rotary drums.

Comprehensive Upgrade Kits and Components

GK offers a range of upgrade kits and components to keep your equipment running at peak performance. These include LOCK-TITE™ replacement liner kits, rotary drum body/liner assemblies, and rotary drum drive conversions. These upgrades ensure your rotary equipment remains efficient and reliable.
