DH Foundries Ltd is a semi-automated foundry. We specialise in complex pressure tight castings produced in gunmetal, aluminium bronze and aluminium. Castings are produced from greensand and air set, depending on the customer’s individual requirements.
Competent and professional
We have more than 60 years of experience within our industry, so you can rest assured that any casting requirements you have will be in the hands of competent and professional individuals. Below, you will find some more detailed information regarding the greensand moulding techniques we use.
Greensand moulding process
Our greensand moulding process uses a complex blend of clay and water that is synthesised to create a finalised material that can be pushed against a pattern to produce a mould. Water is used in conjunction with the clay, which binds together with the sand. We use 2-pin lift moulding machines, which can be used to manufacture both aluminium and copper-based metal products.
Air set moulding
This technique uses a freestanding mould of considerable strength. Because it is free standing, it doesn’t need a moulding box, and parts can be unlimited in size due to this.
