Best For: Low-to-medium volume (tens to hundreds annually)

Materials: Gray Iron (HT200,HT250,HT300,).Ductile Iron (QT400-QT450-QT500-QT600)

Applications: Machine Tool Bases, Large Housings, Construction Machinery Frames

Our Production process

The Keboer Resin Sand Casting Process in 6 Steps

01

Pattern & Mold Making

We begin with a high-quality pattern, typically crafted from wood or aluminum, which precisely replicates the final component's geometry.

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

Shakeout & Finishing

Once solidified, the sand mold is broken away from the casting in a process called shakeout. The casting then proceeds to finishing stages, including shot blasting and grinding, to prepare it for machining or final delivery.

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.

KBR Capabilities:Precision at Scale

Customized resin sand parts
ParameterKBR Casting's CapabilityTypical Applications & Engineering Notes

Casting Weight Range

50 kg – 10,000 kg (110 lbs – 22,000 lbs)

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

Casting Size Envelope

Up to 600cmx600cmx600cm (for subsequent machining)

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

General Tolerance

Typical: ISO 8062 CT10-CT12

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

Surface Roughness

Typical: Ra50-Ra100

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-QT500 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 Resin 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 manufacture.
