Businesses use our services because of our experience and expertise. Our key strengths include:

• We continually invest in our facilities, technologies and staff.
• Our focus is primarily on providing excellent customer service. Our customers use us again and again.
• We can provide full project support from prototype development, pattern making right through to supplying fully machined castings.

Casting by sand is a highly successful and cost-effective process for small batch parts.

The pure asset of the moulds created means that a much greater weight of metal can be used, allowing for the casting of complicated parts that might otherwise have been fabricated from individual parts.

Moulds can be created for a lower initial setup cost compared to and other casting methods.

Silica sand is mechanically mixed with binders to produce a hardened sand mould. Our moulding sand is a special blend of thermally reclaimed, mechanically processed and virgin silica sand.

We then follow a multiple step process to produce a two part mould, a top and bottom, termed a Cope and Drag:

• Fill each half moulding box with sand to create the mould.
• Strip or remove the pattern from the two mould halves and put together.
• Fill mould with quality molten metal.
• Allow the metal to cool.
• After metal has solidified and cooled, break the sand away from casting and finish processing the casting.
