Molding
Capacity
Jencast specializes in 25- to 1500-pound castings in quantities from 25
to 5000. We use green-sand cope and drag molding with a low-energy process
to gain the advantage of light tooling. One of our two molding lines is
outfitted for 28" x 40" - 14/14 flasks with production up to
500 molds per day. Our other line is outfitted for 44" x 56"
- 22/22 flasks with production up to 100 molds per day.
Melt Capacity
We pour all grades of Ductile (Nodular) and CG (Vermicular) iron as well
as Grey (Flake) iron up to 40 grade. Our two 9-ton coreless induction
furnaces have an input of 2,200 kW and melt 4 tons per hour or 100 tons
per day. Batch melt trim ladles give us a high degree of flexibility in
producing the grades you want. To produce Ductile and CG irons, we use
the Odermath wire feed technique to increase reaction times and combine
that with state-of-the-art metallurgical Melt Lab analysis. The result
is high nodular count and high quality iron.
Core Production
We make cores weighing anywhere from ounces to hundreds of pounds and
have production capacity matched to the demands of our molding lines.
Our cold-box process uses low-level energy to permit light tooling. We
produce up to 20 tons of cores daily from two different sands and varying
chemical mixes. Cores are made with core blowers or by the mold simulation
process.
