Sand Mold Process
The Sand Mold Process offers a cost-effective, flexible casting solution using lower-cost patterns and chemically bonded sand to form high-density, hard-packed molds. At Quality Non-Ferrous Foundry, this process combines manual/pneumatic molding for complex, lower-volume castings with advanced Sinto automatic molding technology for medium to high-volume runs requiring tighter tolerances, repeatability, consistent quality, and higher throughput. Pneumatic hard-sand packing improves casting accuracy and surface finish while maintaining adaptability across a wide range of sizes, weights, geometries, and most non-ferrous metals.
Features
- Low Pattern & Material costs
- Almost no limit on size, shape or weight of part
- Adaptable to large or small quantities
Permanent Mold Process
The Permanent Mold gravity process features superior casting capabilities and more accurate properties than other molding processes such as shell molding. It provides highly dense and uniform castings with high dimensional accuracy. Molten, non-ferrous metals are poured into steel molds and gravity pulls the metal down to fill the cavity. The Permanent Mold process delivers excellent surface finish and grain structure parts and is typically the preferred process for light alloy cast components.
Features
- Produces dense, uniform castings with high dimensional accuracy
- Excellent surface finish and grain structure
- Fast production rate with low scrap loss
- Repeated use of molds
