Low and medium volume production and jobbing castings in weights ranging from 15 lb to 15,000 lb in heat lots up to 20,000 lb.

Standard lead times are four to six weeks after receipt of order. Special arrangements are made for customers who wish shorter lead times for their order.

Pattern-Making

Rigging, minor pattern maintenance, and pattern storage are available. We offer design assistance complemented with solidification simulation to produce optimum part and gating configurations for maximum quality product. Our pattern manufacture is contracted to local producers to maximize flexibilty and minimize pattern lead times.

Molding Operations

Molding is conducted using a chemically bonded, no bake process. Wood, resin or metal cope and drag flaskless patterns are used with washed silica, wedron, chromite and zircon sands. Our state of the art mold sand reclaiming equipment further enhances our commitment to be a low cost producer.

Our computer controlled sand reclaim system is enhanced by a fully equipped sand laboratory to monitor and confirm the operating parameters required to maximize reclamation while producing quality molding sand.

Melting and Pouring

Melting facilities consist of two high frequency coreless induction furnace tilters of 1700 kg (3750 lb) capacity each. Additional capacity is being added in February 2007. The new installation consists of two medium frequency 3600 kg (8000 lb) coreless induction furnaces. Dedicated power is produced on site in our co-generation facility to minimize power costs and optimize our production flow through the process.
