Edelbrock Aluminum Foundry and Machining Full Tour & Behind the Scenes! (Pouring Molten Metal!)
What happens here
This step showcases a permanent mold casting machine, which uses large cast iron molds instead of sand. A robotic arm automatically pours molten aluminum into the permanent mold, and once cooled, the mold opens to release the casting. This method allows for repeated use of the mold, offering consistency for high-volume parts. The cast parts then move along a conveyor for further cooling.
Goal: Understand the process of permanent mold casting using reusable metal molds.
