Our fine precision sand casting facility comprises of three casting sections, each of these have their particular attributes, the result of which is a highly flexible and adaptable facility.
The boxless/block casting section is used for the production of sand castings from 1kg up to approximately 30kg. Using either resin or wood pattern equipment, this method gives excellent repeatability whilst achieving extremely tight tolerances, which can result in the reduced need for costly machining operations.
The floor casting activities are carried out by highly experienced, fully trained and skilled craftsmen and can be used to either make sand castings from inexpensive loose pattern equipment, ideal for prototypes, or conversely very large parts which are too big for the block casting section.
Casting machines are used for production quantities of smaller sand castings (from 0.1kg up to 10kg) where often multi-impression pattern equipment can be used. This means that this technique can be highly cost effective whilst giving an excellent surface finish.
