Gray and Ductile Iron No Bake Sand Castings

No Bake Molding Process

New for 2021 our Foundry replaced all of their green sand equipment with proprietary No-Bake (UMM) Universal Molding Equipment that will run almost any type of tooling.

Combined with our SRS sand reclamation system from Europe, our foundry is one of the first American foundries to utilize this technology.

COMPATIBILITY: If your current tooling is made on a BMM, B&P, Hunter, SInto, Rotolift, or if you have loose patterns, there is a high probability we can make your parts without building new tooling. It will work on our equipment.

There is MINIMAL COST to adapt tooling. This will give us 3-4 times increased capacity and allow us to have much shorter lead-times.

Advantages of the No-Bake Casting Process

Large, heavy, and very intricate castings produced in a single mold
Better surface finish – smooth 150 RMS
Customers can reduce costs by taking large fabrications and making one part
No-bake molds are very ridged, and the tensile strength allows for thin sections to be cast. This mold strength allows for less draft requirements in the design.
Not all cases, but inexpensive tooling options since this process is compatible with most pattern materials like wood, plastic, metal, and other materials.
Minimal tooling wear
Less prone to gas porosity
Low to mid-range volume

When designing for No-Bake castings remember that draft is required to pull the part – Sharp corners, or other angles should be minimized. Uniform section thickness should be utilized as much as possible. The No-Bake process does allow for your designers to be a bit more daring with the designs. If we need to test and build the prototype first – we can 3-D sand print the molds and remove the need for tooling on the first run.
