Highest Quality in the Supply Chain

Wear-Tek began embracing the concepts, strategies and philosophy of Lean Manufacturing in 2005. The effects have been far reaching and include: increased efficiency in our production processes, improved documentation and a more engaged and motivated workforce. As a result we have become a more cost effective foundry option that reliably delivers castings on time, while consistently meeting the required quality standards. Continuous improvement remains a primary focus.

From initial concept to production casting to finished product our seasoned professionals offer expertise in the following areas:

Patternmaking
In house pattern shop with traditional bench capabilities, CNC machined master patterns and shell core boxes from computer models.

Coremaking
Shell and no-bake.

Molding
Automated green sand production line; 20 x 26 matchplate with PLC controlled sand production, mold handling and shakeout.
Chemically bonded (no-bake) mold handling line; provides significant diversification of casting size and quantity as well as improved dimensional accuracy.

Melting
Two induction furnace lines producing 3000 pounds per hour.

Heat Treatment
Normalizing
Stress Relieving
Annealing
Air Quenching
Liquid Quenching
Tempering

Machining
CNC Milling and Turning
Manual Milling and Turning
Drilling and Tapping
Blanchard Grinding
