Sand casting
Superior quality casting
In Laucherthal, castings have been made from metallic
materials since the founding of the company in 1708.
Apart from iron and steel, a bronze foundry was added
around 1890. The emphasis today is on sand castings
made of copper and copper alloys as well as high and
low alloy steels.
For manually or machine formed parts, resin-bonded
sands are used. This ensures a good surface, narrow
tolerances as well as high-quality material. For special
applications or requirements, we have the shell
moulding process or utilisation of ceramic moulds and
ceramic cores at our disposal.
Sand casting - Superior quality casting 02 // 03
Castings from copper alloys are possible to a delivery
weight of approximately 7,000 kg, from steel to
approximately 2,000 kg.
Equipped with highly modern CNC machines, our
machining workshops pre-process or finish castings
according to customer drawings. In the laboratory
and materials inspection, all standard destructive and
non-destructive tests and examinations are available.
Production is certified according to DIN EN ISO
9001 : 2008. For us, quality and delivery reliability
are the prerequisites for success on the national
and international market.
