Non-Ferrous Sand Casting
Precision Sand Casting
Sand molding is a cost-effective casting process that’s ideal for both small and large parts. With flexibility at its core, sand casting is highly versatile, fast to produce and can suit any quantity from low volume to high volume with parts ranging from less than a pound to very large components weighing several thousand pounds.
For more than 60 years, ALBCO Foundry has specialized in producing high-quality non-ferrous sand castings utilizing brass, bronze and zinc alloys. We’re unique in the sense our sand castings contain multiple materials and can accommodate any part request.

Sand Mold Casting Process
Sand molding begins with a sand and binder mixture that’s packed around the halves of a pattern constructed from wood, metal or plastic. Once the pattern is removed from the sand, all that remains is a cavity of the desired casting. Cores may be installed to form internal passages and the two mold halves are assembled. The specific alloy is then poured into the mold cavity and after solidification, the sand is shaken away from the casting.
