About Ancast - Stainless Steel Foundry - High Alloy Stainless Steel Castings

The Worlds Largest Small Foundry
Established as Anderson Quality Castings in 1970, and Incorporated as Ancast, Inc. in 1983, Ancast is a stainless steel foundry utilizing a sand molding process. Our molds are chemically bonded sand molds produced in an automated "Fast Loop" system. We also have the capability to produce large floor molds up to 84" with complex risering and gating systems.
At Ancast we have the capability to pour stainless steel heats up to 5,000 lbs producing castings up to 2,400 lbs net weight. This flexibility places us in a class of our own when it comes to the ability to produce both small and large stainless steel castings. At Ancast we have the ability to pour stainless steel castings out of a wide variety of alloys. Our products are found in pumps, valves, chemical processing equipment, food machinery and a host of other industrial components.

We build in quality and repeatability from the initial pattern layout through final casting inspection Rigging is done using computerized software to insure your parts are free of shrink, tears, and cracks. Patterns are mounted in cope and drag boxes to run on the latest automated molding equipment for quality castings and short lead times.
We incorporate the latest technology in our IMF "Fast Loop" molding line with PLC controls. It gives us the ability to produce a wide range of molds each day with minimum labor.
The mixer has a digital "Smart Pump" system for consistent mold properties. Reclaimed sand is used judiciously to reduce cost and meet environmental demands without compromising surface finish or mold strength.
