Whether you’re removing gates, risers, or flash, Tunco’s tools help streamline your process, improve productivity, and reduce tooling costs
High-Performance Tools Built for Durability
The foundry industry plays a critical role in manufacturing and producing cast metal components used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and heavy machinery. The casting process requires precision, from mold preparation to degating and finishing, ensuring each component meets strict quality standards. That’s why foundries need durable, high-performance tools that can withstand the rigors of metalworking while maintaining precision and efficiency.
Essential Hand Tools for Foundries
Foundries rely on specialized tools to shape molds, prepare casting materials, and ensure precision in metal casting. The following hand tools for foundries play a crucial role in the molding and finishing process:
- Foundry Shovel: Used to move and distribute sand in mold preparation.
- Foundry Riddle: A sieve-like tool that filters out debris, ensuring a fine sand mixture for mold-making.
- Foundry Rammer: Used to compact molding sand, available in hand, peen, floor, and pneumatic types for different applications.
- Foundry Trowel: Essential for smoothing and finishing flat surfaces and corners inside a mold.
- Foundry Lifter: Helps repair molds, finish mold sand, and remove loose sand for improved casting quality.
These metal foundry tools are critical for maintaining the integrity of molds and ensuring precise, high-quality castings.
