Casting molds
The mold boxes consist of an upper and lower box, which can be positioned one above the other using locating pins. The molding boxes
are produced in our factory in Ochsenhausen.
- stable welded construction
- precisely fitting guide
- no more screw clamps required thanks to threaded fitting bolts
- profiled to prevent the sand from slipping
- good temperature resistance
In addition to our standard molding boxes, we also offer almost every conceivable special size and type.

for excess melt Size: app. 60x60x100 mm Excess melt should not remain in the crucible and must therefore be poured off. With this mold, excess melt can be quickly and easily poured into ingots and then remelted. Features: Made of steel alloy Sturdy construction Thermally stable For rapid cooling of the melt Robust design V-shape allows for quick removal of the melt High thermal shock resistance
Sturdy aluminum molding box support, Size: 100x100 mm, Thickness: 5 mm, deburred Features: Made of aluminum Lightweight Sturdy Easy to clean Protects your table
square, sharp-edged 12 mm, approx. 350 mm long This "pull off steel" is used to remove excess molding sand. The sharp edge allows for a clean finish. This can be seen in more detail in the video starting at 0:52. Features: Sharp-edged profile Chamfered ends according to DIN 178
40x10x8 mm, trapezoidal The barrel model allows for the design of a simple sprue. The beveled sides allow for easy removal later. Figure 2 shows a mold box with inserted letter, sprue (round rod) and barrel model.
Heat protection mat with special coating, protects against direct flame, welding spatter, or molten metal splashes. Ideal as a base for electric or gas furnaces. Protects the workshop floor, workbench, and surrounding flammable objects. Can also be used as a protective mat for mold boxes during casting. Features: · Very good resistance to sparks, flames, welding spatter and molten metal splashes Certified and approved according to DIN EN standards FM-Approved FM Global Reversible Extreme heat resistance Continuously heat resistant up to 1000 °C, short-term peak load up to 1200 °C Excellent protective barrier Resistant to direct flames, sparks, weld spatter, and molten metal splashes Retains its shape and stability even under extreme heat · High mechanical strength Exceptionally robust and durable under harsh operating conditions Easy processing: Despite its high resistance, it is flexible, easy to cut, and easy to handle Fire protection: High-quality protective material for industrial and fire protection applications Welding and grinding work: Use as an effective welding curtain or welding blanket Shipbuilding and plant construction: Protection against sparks and thermal stress in sensitive areas Metal industry: Protection against intense heat and dangerous metal splashes to increase workplace safety Maximum heat protection: Suitable for application temperatures up to 1200 °C and even resistant to molten metal splashes. The special mineral protective layer acts like a shield: At extreme temperatures, it melts away on the surface, reliably protecting the core of the fabric from flames and dangerous metal splashes. The backing is non-combustible and perfectly suited for vertical and horizontal applications in welding or plasma cutting. It reliably protects against weld spatter, sparks, direct flames, and molten metal splashes. Other sizes and variations with eyelets and more can be made upon request.
Molding
Here we show how the upper box is molded. The basic principle remains the same for the lower box.
When molding, it is important that sieved sand is used and that the model is well covered with release powder.
It must also be carefully tamped and the oil sand must be well compacted.
This is the only way to avoid surprises such as a rough surface or deformed contours when removing the mold.
Questions - Answers - FAQ
Many questions about the molds and mold boxes that we try to answer without meaningless AI texts.
Do you still have questions? Then please ask us directly here:
E-mail:
What is a mold used for?
A mold is used to hold the molding sand and to give the oil sand a stable frame.
A model is later formed or placed in the sand, which is then tamped in the mold.
What material are molds made of?
Our molds are made of sturdy steel.
However, molds made of wood or other materials can also be used.
We use steel because it is robust, durable, quickly adaptable and has proven itself over the years.
Where can I buy casting molds?
You're welcome to do so from us ;)
We manufacture our casting molds and mold boxes ourselves in our metal workshop.
The bolts and dowel pins are turned and the stable welded construction is carefully assembled by us
We can also manufacture special sizes in small quantities and with short delivery times.
What should I look out for when buying?
The mold should be sturdily built and the parts must fit well together.
Are the molds durable?
We have been building our molds for many years and our customers include both hobby casters and professionals.
However, larger special molds are usually used here, which only differ from the standard in terms of their basic structure in small features.
Does a mold wear out?
After very intensive use or a very, very long time, casting molds also wear out.
A hobby caster who casts every week will not experience this.
If the bolts are worn out at some point, the hole can be drilled out and the bolt replaced with a larger one.
Suitable mold?
The mold should fit the workpiece. This saves sand and time when molding.
Handling is also made easier with a suitable mold.
You can't find the right mold?
We make molds in any size from a quantity of 1.
With 2 or 4 bolts, with a slotted hole, with a crane eyelet, carrying handle, and much more.
Just ask us.
