For High-Precision & High-Volume Components

When precision and surface finish are critical, our Coated Sand process delivers exceptional results. Using high-precision, long-life iron molds (100,000+ uses), By using the injection machine, we can produce more precise sand molds with a smaller draft angle.we achieve accuracy errors within 0.5mm, the surface roughness reaches Ra25.making it perfect for complex parts in high-volume production.

Our Production process

The Keboer Coated Sand Process in6 Steps

01

Drawing & mold production

Engineer takes charge of the mold process design work, adopts gray iron HT300 for mold blank casting, and then performs refined machining to achieve optimal control of mold tolerance, ensuring the fitting accuracy and operational stability of the mold.

02

Sand Mixing & Molding

High-quality silica sand is mixed with the phenolic resin binder using a sand mixer. this resin sand is poured into the mold and pressed firmly. With the skillful workers of Keboer, extremely precise sand molds are produced.

03

Curing & Mold Assembly

the sand mold solidifies at room temperature, forming a hard and durable mold. If necessary, a clay core for forming the internal cavity can be inserted, and then the upper and lower molds can be closed together.

04

Pouring & Solidification

Molten gray or ductile iron, precisely controlled for temperature and chemical composition, is poured into the mold cavity. The casting is allowed to cool and solidify for a period of 7 to 72 hours.

05

Grinding & shot blasting

After the heat preservation process is completed, the casting is separated from the sand shell; the rough casting is then subjected to grinding, shot blasting treatment, and coated with anti-rust paint.

Shakeout & Finishing@1x.webp

3D Scanning & Final Inspection

For custom casting parts that require more stringent tolerances, each finished product undergoes strict final inspection before shipment, including 3D scanning and ultrasonic testing, to ensure that it meets all the specifications required by the customers.

Technical Specifications

KBR Capabilities: Precision at Scale

Customized coated sand parts
Parameter KBR Casting's Capability Typical Applications & Engineering Notes

Casting Weight Range

5 kg – 10,00 kg (10 lbs – 2,000 lbs)

Ideal for large, single-piece components like CNC machine bases, press frames, and gearbox housings, ensuring maximum rigidity.

Casting Size Envelope

Up to 100cmx100cmx100cm (for subsequent machining)

Accommodates massive structures. Capability is linked to our gantry machining center capacity.

General Tolerance

Typical: ISO 8062 CT9-CT10

Suitable for components where structural integrity is paramount. Tighter tolerances are achieved through our in-house CNC machining services.

Surface Roughness

Typical: Ra25-Ra50

Provides an excellent surface for painting or for subsequent precision machining operations, superior to traditional green sand casting.

Materials Cast

Grey Iron Casting (HT200-HT350 series),Ductile Iron Castings (QT400-QT600 series)

High-damping gray iron for machine tool castings like bases; high-strength ductile iron for components under dynamic load.

Typical Volume

Suited for dozens to hundreds of parts per year

An economical choice for low-to-medium volume projects that do not justify the high cost of hard tooling for mass production.

Advantages & Considerations

The Right Process for the Right Project

As your technical partner, we believe in transparency. Understanding the strengths and trade-offs of Resin Sand Casting is key to a successful project. This process is not a universal solution, but it is the superior choice for specific, demanding applications.

Key Advantages of Keboer Coated sand Casting

Large & Heavy Components:Purpose-built for castings up to 10,000 kg, offering monolithic integrity and scale other methods cannot economically achieve.

Dimensional Stability & Integrity:Rigid, chemically-bonded molds minimize distortion, resulting in dimensionally stable castings with high structural integrity for precision applications.

Superior Surface Finish:Produces a smoother as-cast surface than green sand, reducing secondary processing and providing a better substrate for machining.

Cost-Effective Tooling for Lower Volumes:Affordable wooden or metallic patterns make tooling cost-effective for low-to-medium volume production runs (dozens to hundreds yearly).

Process Considerations

Longer Production Cycle:Chemical curing and extended cooling times result in a longer production cycle compared to high-volume casting methods.

Higher Material Cost:Chemical binders and resins make raw material costs higher than green sand, ideal for complex-structured and performance castings.

It is impossible to produce products with a surface roughness less than Ra50. In that case, the coated sand process would be suitable for manufacturing..
