Melting
AMERICAN Castings' modern electric Melting
Department uses three 23-ton ABB induction furnaces
and three 30-ton ABB holding furnaces. This combination
of melting and holding allows AMERICAN Castings to
produce an extremely clean base iron with the consistent
physical and chemical properties necessary to meet the
stringent metallurgical requirements of our customers.
Each metal treatment is carefully inspected to verify the
integrity of the iron poured into the mold.
Core Room
AMERICAN Castings' Automated Core Room is capable
of producing cores in weights ranging from 5 to 1200
pounds in volumes that match our molding capabilities.
Processes include shell, ISOCURE® and no-bake core
making. Our Automatic Cold Box Process includes both
horizontally and vertically parted core equipment. Our
wide variety of core equipment provides a unique
opportunity for customers wishing to relocate existing
pattern equipment.
Each heat of iron is carefully analyzed and
recorded by Melting Department employees.
Molding
AMERICAN Castings' unique molding capabilities make
it one of the most versatile foundries in the world. The
combination of Horizontal Green Sand and Automatic
No-Bake Molding Lines allow our customers to reduce
their supply base by bringing complete projects to one
location.
For medium to high volume castings (30-1000 pounds)
we use a green sand unit (42" x 72" x 24"/24").
For low to medium volume, larger castings (500-3500
pounds) we offer our Automatic No-Bake Molding Line
(120" x 60" x 19"/19").
Pattern Shop
AMERICAN Castings' in-house Pattern Shop provides
initial pattern setup, gating, risering and repairs.
Our pattern inspection procedure ensures patterns are
in top condition, dimensionally stable and ready to
mold.
Value Added Services
Robotic Finishing
AMERICAN Castings uses robotic grinding centers that
can accommodate castings weighing up to 2000
pounds, regardless of shape. The grinding centers
have universal clamping fixtures for setup flexibility.
Customers receive the value of precise, uniform results
achieved cost efficiently on state-of-the-art, automated
equipment.
We offer anionic electrocoating for castings up to 2000
pounds. The overhead primer line uses PowerCron®
primer meeting 240-hour salt-spray testing requirements.
Secondary machining and assembly is available through
a group of approved outside associates.
