Services OEM Manufacturing
When you take into account the issues of quality, consistency and final cost, casting is often the superior choice to forging, fabricating, welding or machining parts. And few companies know more about casting than Conbraco. In the past decade, we have invested more than $100 million in new plants, foundries and technologies. We have also introduced the latest lean practices and pull manufacturing techniques. In addition to providing greater value for our customers, these investments and innovations have expanded our capability as a dependable contract manufacturing partner for OEMs.
Steel & Alloy Casting
Our 170,000-square-foot steel and alloy casting center in Conway, S.C. offers investment as well as air-set production. It yields extremely high quality, near net shape castings. Among the most advanced foundries on earth, this ISO 9001 registered facility meets all EPA regulations. It's equipped with a $1.5 million dust collection system and $2.5 million computer driven conveyor network. Investment casting can produce parts as heavy as 150 pounds from molds as large as 2 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet (including gating). Our air-set (no-bake) line is capable of high-volume production of components weighing nearly a ton and castings up to 45 inches x 50 inches x 30 inches (including gating).
