Chicago Pneumatic offers a full range of tools and solutions to meet the challenges of demanding environments such as foundries and casting plants. Trust the material removal expert to select your angle, vertical or die grinders, and angle and belt sanders.
From mold casting to frame assembly to fettling, each application has its own challenges and requirements which affect the choice of tool. A key challenge for mold manufacturing is precision and Chicago Pneumatic’s low vibration tools can help achieve this. However, degating requires a high material removal rate, which can be attained through high-powered grinders.
With rapid industrialization, the demand for steel casting is on the rise, particularly from the construction industry. This is having a positive impact on the foundry market. Additionally, numerous countries are witnessing increasing investments in their foundry industry and many segments within the global foundry industry are expected to perform strongly over the next few years. For example, the foundry market in India is being driven by investments used toward technology upgrades and thanks to this, it is expected to accelerate at a CAGR of 10% between 2017-2021.
