Reliable Capacity
Multiple production lines and numerous skilled machine operators offer customers considerable capacity. In addition, this capacity permits scheduling flexibility. Focused Capability
Multiple jolt-squeezer machines manually produce molds utilizing Petrobond sand. These machines and this oil-tempered sand produce precision castings that feature improved surface finish and soundness. Also, this sand is remixed and used repeatedly.
Rotolift machines make heavier molds for larger castings. Casting Size and Complexity
 A majority of sand castings produced are relatively small in size — up to fifteen-inches long and weighing less than four pounds — and fairly complex.
Casting complexity increases if a sand core must be set during the molding process. Also, complexity increases if customer specifications exceed most economical casting production practice.
Northwest Casting takes particular pride in working with castings that need extra attention in the areas of porosity, surface finish and dimensional control. Versatile
Sand cast tooling start up is normally economical and modification quite simple.
