What is Airset Moulding?
Make unique specifications possible, from increased casting sizes to precision prototypes, with airset moulding.
Newby Foundries offers precision airset casting, or no-bake moulding, across our casting facilities for iron, steel, aluminium and zinc material.
Our airset casting capabilities allow us to carry out larger castings for low to medium volume runs or high volumes of smaller parts, as well as achieving cost-sensitive projects and prototype requirements.
Newby Foundries’ decades of expertise and establishment, paired with our commitment to innovation and investment in the latest technology, ensures improved quality, efficiency of processes, and exact dimensional control for your castings.
We can do this for all types of projects, with vast experience as a Tier 1 supplier to an array of industries, including automotive, EV, marine, engineering and many more.
Airset Moulding Service
For our airset casting service, Newby Foundries utilises both Furan and Phenolic resins, available in various grades across our sites. Our ability to offer both methods ensures we’re able to match your project specifications with the right casting process.
Airset moulding uses a self-setting sand mixture, meaning the mould sets at room temperature. We use hand rammed, chemically bonded sand to improve dimensional accuracy, mould strength and the casting finish.
This service is complemented by Newby Foundries’ machining and finishing operations, ensuring we can handle projects of all complexities from design to prototyping, production and delivery.
For technical specifications varying by material ; see Iron Casting, Steel Casting or Aluminium Casting.
