Automated Sand Molding Lines for High-Volume Iron Castings
We manufacture using sand mold technology with a total of 3 molding lines.
Horizontal Molding Lines (HWS)
We cast the large, heavy, and more complex parts customers need in our horizontal sand molding lines.
| Production Line | Mold Size (mm) | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Line 1 | 900 x 700 x 250/250 | 180 molds / hour |
| Line 2 | 1100 x 1000 x 300/300 | 60 molds / hour |
Melting:
2x Dual track induction furnace, each having 16 tons batch capacity.
Vertical Molding Line (Disamatic)
Thanks to our vertical sand molding line, we meet your lighter weight and higher quantity needs more flexibly and quickly.
| Production Line | Mold Size (mm) | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Line 3 | 500 x 400 x 100/315 | 300 molds / hour |
Melting:
2x Dual track induction furnace, each having 4 tons batch capacity.
FAQ
What type of molding technology does Ferro Castings utilize?
We utilize high-speed horizontal molding lines. These automated lines are engineered for high-volume production, providing consistent mold density and exceptional surface finishes that meet strict North American industrial standards.
What is the maximum weight capacity of your molding lines?
Our automated horizontal lines can produce individual iron castings weighing up to 400 lbs (approx. 185 kg). This allows us to manufacture everything from heavy-duty engine components to large differential housings.
Can you maintain tight tolerances for large casting runs?
Yes. By using advanced flask-squeeze technology and real-time sand monitoring, we ensure that dimensional tolerances are held within precise fractions of an inch across thousands of production cycles.
What are your standard flask dimensions for new projects?
Our molding lines are optimized for high-efficiency flask sizes. For new project development, our engineering team works with your CAD data to design multi-cavity patterns that maximize output while maintaining optimal metal-to-sand ratios.
