Currently, all Metal Technologies foundries utilize Disamatic Molding Machines to produce molds for our castings. Disamatics offer a highly efficient means of rapidly and automatically creating a string of flaskless molds. These molds are built for vertical casting and are created in a vertical molding environment. For an explanation of the process, read through the text below and click on the thumbnail images to see illustrations. |
