Sand casting
Sand casting is the principal production method at the Roldo foundry, which was founded in 1961 specifically as a sand-casting works.
This type of process, which is the most suitable method for the production of really big castings has the added advantage of being commercially competitive because it is also possible to perform a lower number of pouring without the necessity for big orders to be able to take on jobs.
Shell casting
Further to sand casting, Roldo also performs shell (or gravity) casting.
With this method it is possible to achieve high precision casting and a high volume of production in a short time. Shell casting is also called gravity casting because it is simply under the influence of gravity that the metal flows from the crucible into the casting basin.
Finishing
The Roldo foundry has its own in-house finishing department which deals with all the various post-cooling phases.
Depending on the customer’s requirements, we can deliver the castings in either finished or unfinished form.
Processed metals
Most of our castings are made from aluminium alloys, in particular AlSi10Mg, which has great thermal and casting properties, a light weight and mechanical properties which make it easy to rework.
Further to aluminium we also produce brass and bronze castings for both industrial and artistic applications.
Main sector
