Green Sand Casting

Our green sand casting method utilizes a blend of silica sand, clay, water, and optional additives. This mixture, known as green sand due to its tint, offers exceptional flowability and compatibility. It's cost-effective, providing excellent dimensional accuracy and surface finish for a wide range of castings.

Molasses Sand Casting

Also referred to as oil sand casting, our molasses sand casting technique replaces water with molasses, enhancing mold strength and heat resistance. These molds are easier to handle and offer superior collapsibility for seamless casting removal. With the ability to withstand higher pouring temperatures, molasses sand casting ensures top-notch surface finish and dimensional precision.

No-Bake Sand Casting

Our no-bake sand casting process utilizes synthetic resin binders mixed with sand, eliminating the need for natural clay. These molds are exceptionally robust and stable, guaranteeing improved handling and transportation without compromising accuracy or surface quality. While environmentally conscious, this method provides unparalleled strength and dimensional stability, making it ideal for large-scale casting projects.

Each of our casting methods offers unique benefits tailored to diverse manufacturing needs. Explore our capabilities further to discover how we can meet your specific requirements with precision and efficiency.

Core making

Welcome to our core making process using a cold shooter, an advanced technique that ensures precision and consistency in casting production. Core making is an essential step in the casting process, where cores are formed to create internal cavities and intricate shapes within metal components.

With our cold shooter technology, we utilize a machine equipped with compressed air to shoot sand into a core box, forming the desired core shape. This method offers several advantages, including rapid production, high accuracy, and minimal heat exposure, ensuring superior dimensional stability of the cores.

Our cold shooter core making process enables us to produce cores of various sizes and complexities with ease. Whether you require intricate passages, undercuts, or intricate geometries, our cold shooter technology delivers reliable and precise results every time.

At our facility, we combine expertise with cutting-edge technology to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Explore our core making capabilities and discover how our cold shooter process can enhance the quality and efficiency of your casting projects.

S.G. Casting

Introducing S.G. Casting, also known as Spheroidal Graphite Casting, a cutting-edge technique synonymous with ductile iron casting or nodular iron casting. This process revolutionizes casting methods by imbuing ductile iron with graphite nodules dispersed evenly throughout the material, enhancing its mechanical properties beyond those of conventional gray cast iron.

During S.G. casting, molten iron undergoes treatment with magnesium or other nodularizing agents, triggering the formation of graphite nodules within the metal structure. These nodules act as barriers, thwarting crack formation and elevating the casting's ductility, strength, and toughness. The result? A superior material with a wider array of applications and unparalleled design adaptability, surpassing the limitations of traditional gray iron casting.

Embrace the future of casting with S.G. Casting, where innovation meets excellence to redefine industry standards and exceed your expectations. Explore the possibilities and unlock a world of limitless potential with our advanced casting solutions.

Investment Casting

Welcome to the world of investment casting, a precision manufacturing process that delivers unparalleled intricacy and accuracy. Also known as lost-wax casting, this method offers exquisite detail and versatility, making it a preferred choice for creating intricate metal components.

In investment casting, a wax pattern of the desired part is created and then coated with a ceramic shell. Once the shell is hardened, the wax is melted out, leaving behind a hollow cavity in the shape of the intended part. Molten metal is then poured into the cavity, filling it completely and taking on the intricate details of the wax pattern.

This process allows for the production of complex shapes with tight tolerances, excellent surface finish, and minimal machining required. Investment casting is ideal for small to medium-sized parts made from a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, bronze, and more.

At our facility, we specialize in investment casting, combining craftsmanship with advanced technology to deliver exceptional results. Explore our capabilities and discover how investment casting can bring your designs to life with precision and elegance.

Shell Moulding

Welcome to the realm of shell molding casting, a sophisticated process that marries precision with efficiency to produce high-quality metal components. Also known as shell mold casting, this technique offers exceptional dimensional accuracy and surface finish, making it a go-to choice for a wide range of applications.

In shell molding casting, a thin shell made of resin-coated sand is formed around a pattern, creating a precise mold cavity. This shell is then cured and reinforced, providing stability and strength to withstand the casting process. Once the mold is ready, molten metal is poured into it, filling the cavity and forming the desired part.

The shell molding process offers several advantages, including fast production cycles, minimal finishing required, and the ability to produce intricate shapes with tight tolerances. It is particularly well-suited for medium to large-sized parts that demand both precision and efficiency.

At our facility, we specialize in shell molding casting, leveraging state-of-the-art technology and expertise to deliver superior results. Explore our capabilities and discover how shell molding casting can elevate your projects with unmatched quality and reliability.

Fetling and Grinding

Welcome to our fettling and grinding services, where precision meets perfection in the world of casting foundry. Fettling and grinding are crucial steps in the post-casting process, ensuring that our cast components meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.

In our foundry, skilled artisans meticulously remove any excess material, imperfections, or unwanted features from castings through fettling. This process involves using various tools and techniques to achieve smooth surfaces and precise dimensions, preparing the castings for further finishing.

Following fettling, our expert craftsmen employ grinding methods to refine the surfaces of the cast components. Utilizing advanced grinding equipment and techniques, we meticulously smooth out any remaining irregularities, ensuring optimal fit, function, and aesthetics.

Our commitment to excellence drives us to deliver cast components that exceed expectations in terms of both quality and performance. With our fettling and grinding services, you can trust that your castings will undergo meticulous attention to detail, resulting in superior finished products.

Explore our comprehensive range of fettling and grinding services and discover how we can elevate the quality and value of your cast components. Partner with us for precision, reliability, and excellence in every aspect of the casting process.
