Cost-Efficient Precision Aluminum Castings
Aluminum Sand Castings for Versatility and Cost Savings

Sand Castings
Since launching its aluminum casting operations in 2002, Bell Foundry has grown in capabilities and capacity because of our versatility and quality output. Currently, we operate several manual molding stations which include multiple Squeezers, Roto Lifts, and Cope & Drag floor molding operations. We also employ several automatic molding machines, including a Roberts Sinto and three Beardsley and Piper machines. The foundry is equipped with several 900-pound gas-fired furnaces that allow us to cast multiple aluminum alloys simultaneously, providing up to 25,000 pounds of capacity per shift and ensuring we can meet any size or time-sensitive project requirements.
Why choose aluminum sand castings?
Aluminum sand castings are the right choice for moving quickly from prototype to production and producing castings of any size and complexity. Benefits of an aluminum sand casting process:
- Design flexibility for any size manufactured part
- Works with a broad choice of materials
- Cost-efficient for set up and tooling
- Accommodates short lead times and quick turnaround needs
- Cost-efficient compared to machining out of billet stock
Consistent molding sand properties, proven techniques and a wide selection of available equipment allow Bell Foundry to produce high-quality aluminum castings with excellent surface quality and detail, even in deeply drawn shapes.

Permanent Mold Castings for Strength, Structure and Aesthetics
Permanent Mold Castings deliver extremely high quality, durable castings that are lightweight, precise and designed with a tighter molecular structure and a smoother finish than sand castings can provide. Permanent mold casting is also the optimal solution for larger part runs where precision is critical.
At Bell Foundry, we can accommodate a variety size projects with multiple permanent mold casting machines that range from conventional rack and pinion to automatic HALL Tilt-Pour machines. Our 900-pound furnaces can process up to 5,000 pounds of capacity per shift.
Why Choose Permanent Mold Casting
Permanent mold casting can be the right choice for projects that require a smoother finish, lighter weight or lower cost at a high volume. Other benefits include:
- More aesthetically pleasing finish
- Greater strength at lighter weight output
- Highly precise output
- Less machining required for finishing work
- Lower costs for high volume part runs

We Do Castings for Either…
Small Runs and Prototyping
Partnering with you to develop and verify new projects, from multi-core automotive components to simple utilitarian household items
Medium to High Volume Production
Using multiple molding stations, automatic molding machine and furnace outputs of up to 20,000 lbs of aluminum per shift
Selecting The Best Aluminum Alloys For Casting
High quality castings start with the highest quality materials available. That’s why we only use 100% certified and traceable aluminum ingots for all aluminum casting projects.
