Processes

From creating custom patterns, to molding, machining then finally lining and coating, we do it all in house.  Utilizing our in-house pattern shop, we can create custom patterns for any job. Metalfit operates four induction furnaces and four casting & molding lines, a full machine shop, and a linings and coatings department all on site. For a full explanation of our processes, please view our U.S. Pipe overview video.

Green Sand Line

This line is a Semi-automatic molding line, using:

  • 30”x30”x12” flasks to produce castings up to 150 lbs
  • 42”x44”x16” flasks to produce castings up to 300 lbs

For the waterworks industry, the green sand line is used to produce smaller fittings & castings, including

  • 4” to 16” Flanged & MJ Fittings

Currently, this is the most popular range of sizes, which subsequently directly relates to typically longer lead times than other sizes.

Typical Production Time: 4-6 weeks

For the waterworks industry, the No-Bake line is used to produce mid-sized fittings & castings, including
