Airset Sand Casting
Using airset sand casting processes, we produce aluminum castings that are highly resistant to corrosion, heat, abrasion, and wear. We can produce castings up to 1500 lbs. in weight. The aluminum parts are heat treated to provide high tensile strength. Our cast parts are typically used in engines, motors, pumps, and valves.
An extensive range of McEnglevan speedy melting furnaces, Tinker Omega & Castec sand systems and Castec 3-ton/hour shake systems are used for aluminum castings. Our average production volume ranges from 1 to 5000 units per year. In addition, we also handle custom, prototype, and short run requirements. We utilize real-time x-ray and material spectrometer to insure metal quality in our castings. We also perform assembly, finishing, inspection, and repair operations.

Services and Processes
Sand casting produces rough metal castings using a mold usually made from sand formed around a replica of the object, also called a pattern, to be cast and is removed once the sand has been compacted.
