Posted on by admin

AMPO FOUNDRY has developed Patternless Services for the production of large sand casting parts, with a maximum moulding box size of 3000mm x 3000mm, in order to meet customer requirements and continuously adapt to market needs.

This technology has been developed by the Engineering team of AMPO hand in hand with an International Research Centre, as well as with the guidance and the essential contribution of one of its main customers, obtaining an optimum patternless casting method. 

Due to this, AMPO has manufactured by Patternless and Sand Moulding technologies, a 48” butterfly valve body and disc for one of our main global customers.

With this technology there is no need to manufacture wooden patterns. Consequently, it is a very cost-effective way of producing one-off or small production run castings, with the following benefits; lead time reduction, manufacturing cost reduction, high integrity and dimensional accuracy castings, appropriate surface finishes, etc.

In order to offer customers the widest possible range of castings and best solutions, AMPO also has a completely integrated patternless service for small and medium size components within its cutting-edge Ceramic Moulding production line.
