A method for conditioning cooled used moulding sand retaining moulding sand binder in a mixer (1), wherein the cooled used moulding sand is heated to at least a minimum temperature, moisturized by providing water or water vapor through holes in an agitator and subsequently cooled in the mixer from the minimum temperature using the effect of a vacuum. The invention also includes an apparatus for practicing the method which includes a mixing container, a rotatable mixing agitator and a mixing agitator drive suitable for mixing moulding sand in the mixing container, apparatus for feeding components to be mixed to the mixer, apparatus for supplying hot water or hot water vapour to components in the mixing chamber through a plurality of holes in the agitator facing away from a direction of rotation of the agitator, apparatus for stopping the flows of hot water and vapour to the mixing chamber, apparatus for vacuum sealing the mixing container, apparatus for providing a vacuum in the mixing chamber after the flows are stopped to cool the contents of the mixing chamber and remove moisture by vacuum evaporation, and apparatus for removing mixed components from the mixing chamber.

1. A method for conditioning cooled used moulding sand retaining moulding sand binder in a mixer (1), wherein the cooled used moulding sand is heated to at least a minimum temperature, moisturized by providing water or water vapor through holes in an agitator and subsequently cooled in the mixer from the minimum temperature using the effect of a vacuum.2. A method according to claim 1, wherein a desired minimum temperature Tmin is determined, the starting temperature Tist of the moulding sand is determined, and the moulding sand is heated when Tist<Tmin.3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the cooled used moulding sand is heated before it is placed in the mixer (1).4. A method according to claim 1, wherein the cooled used moulding sand is heated in combination with unused moulding sand to at least the minimum temperature in the mixer (1) prior to application of the vacuum.5. A method according to claim 1, wherein the moulding sand is heated with the aid of hot air or microwaves.6. A method according to claim 1, wherein the moulding sand is heated by addition of hot water.7. A method according to claim 1, wherein the moulding sand is heated by addition of hot water vapour (12).8. A method according to claim 7, wherein the temperature of the moulding sand is increased to at least the minimum temperature Tmin by addition of hot water vapour (12).9. A method according to claim 8, wherein the moisture content of the moulding sand is sensed (14) enough water (4) is added as is necessary for cooling of the moulding sand in a vacuum and so that a quantity of water remains in the moulding sand for the moulding sand to obtain a desired moisture content in finished sand.10. A method according to claim 7, wherein water in vapour or liquid form added for heating the moulding sand is at least in part additionally used for moistening the moulding sand.11. A method according to claim 10, wherein excess water in the moulding sand is regulated by evaporation in a vacuum to a desired final moisture.12. A method according to claim 7, wherein the amount of water vapour or water added to the moulding sand to heat it is determined dependent upon the temperature Tist of the moulding sand and the desired minimum temperature Tmin.13. A method according to claim 7, wherein the amount of water vapour added to the moulding sand to heat it is obtained by setting a pressure in the mixer such that a boiling temperature of the water at the set pressure corresponds to the desired minimum temperature, and water vapour is supplied until the pressure increases or the temperature in a suction line (6) shows an accelerated increase.14. A method according to claim 1, wherein processing water (4) is added to obtain a desired minimum moisture.15. A method according to claim 1, wherein hot water or hot water vapour is supplied to the mixer below the surface of the moulding sand to heat the sand to at least the minimum temperature.16. A method according to claim 1, wherein moulding sand below the minimum temperature is heated by mixing with hot moulding sand.17. A method according to claim 1, wherein the vacuum is below the vapor pressure of water.18. Apparatus for conditioning moulding sand comprising a mixing container, a rotatable mixing agitator and a mixing agitator drive suitable for mixing moulding sand in the mixing container, means for feeding components to be mixed to the mixer, means for supplying hot water or hot water vapour to components in the mixing chamber through a plurality of holes in the agitator facing away from a direction of rotation of the agitator, apparatus for stopping the flows of hot water and vapour to the mixing chamber, means for vacuum sealing the mixing container, means for providing a vacuum in the mixing chamber after the flows are stopped to cool the contents of the mixing chamber and remove moisture by vacuum evaporation, and means for removing mixed components from the mixing chamber.19. Apparatus according to claim 18, wherein the means for providing a vacuum can provide a vacuum to below the vapor pressure of water.20. Apparatus according to claim 19, wherein the agitator comprises fins, blades or a wall scraper.21. Apparatus according to claim 19, wherein the mixing container does not rotate, and orifices are provided through a wall of the container for the addition of hot water vapour and/or water.22. Apparatus according to claim 18, wherein the mixing container rotates.
