Air Set Sand Casting Process

Our Air Set Sand Casting process begins with high-grade kiln-dried sand, mixed with a resin binder and chemical hardener all controlled by computer operated systems to ensure accurate addition rates. Once mixed, the sand is rammed around a pattern where it hardens to form a solid mould. Once the pattern is stripped and the mould closed, we are left with a robust boxless mould into which the metal is poured and a casting created. This method enables the creation of extensive, intricate castings, optimising both quality and cost-effectiveness through minimal sand use and 75% raw material reclamation.

Industrial Applications

Air Set Sand Casting is ideal for industries seeking large, complex components with precise details, including General Engineering, Utilities, Defense, and more. This method excels in producing parts that might otherwise require fabrication from multiple pieces, ensuring integrity and strength in every casting.
