Sand casting for durable iron components

At Milson, we use sand casting to deliver durable components at scale. It’s a cost-effective process that supports repeatability and fast turnaround, making it well-suited for medium to high-volume production.

Why OEMs rely on sand casting

Sand casting is one of the most widely used foundry processes because it balances cost, flexibility, and turnaround speed. While less precise than some molding processes, it consistently delivers dependable results at production scale. For parts that demand higher precision or cosmetic finish, we may recommend alternative processes such as investment casting.

    Where sand casting is used

    From agriculture to energy, green sand casting delivers parts that are rugged, repeatable, and efficient to produce at scale.

    • Agriculture — gear housings, implement brackets, and covers
    • Energy and power — pump and valve bodies
    • Mining and materials handling — heavy-section castings and wear parts
    • Construction equipment — counterweights, brackets, and housings
    • OEM equipment — enclosures and drivetrain covers

    Materials we pour

    We pour a range of alloys through our sand processes, giving manufacturers options for cost-efficiency, strength, and wear resistance. Selecting the right alloy is only part of the solution. What sets Milson apart is how we integrate material expertise with design, casting, and quality systems to deliver reliable results at scale.
