Proven Aluminum Castings for Agricultural Equipment

Watry Industries has decades of experience producing agricultural aluminum castings designed to perform in demanding field conditions. Since 1957, Watry has partnered with manufacturers of agricultural and off-highway equipment to supply high-strength, lightweight aluminum components that withstand continuous use, vibration, and exposure to harsh environments.

Located in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, Watry operates a fully integrated aluminum foundry specializing in permanent mold, semi-permanent mold, traditional tilt-pour, and reverse tilt-pour casting processes. These capabilities allow Watry to produce structurally sound, dimensionally consistent castings that meet the performance requirements of modern agricultural machinery while supporting scalable production programs.

Aluminum Casting Solutions for Agricultural Applications

Agricultural equipment operates in some of the most demanding environments, requiring components that deliver long service life, corrosion resistance, and consistent performance. Watry manufactures aluminum castings engineered for strength, durability, and reliability across a wide range of agricultural applications.

Common agricultural components include:

  • Gear housings and transmission components
  • Pump and valve housings
  • Structural brackets and supports
  • Engine and drivetrain components
  • Hydraulic system castings
  • Power transmission housings

By leveraging advanced casting methods and metallurgical control, Watry ensures each agricultural aluminum casting performs reliably in high-load, high-cycle operating conditions.

Advanced Casting Processes for Agricultural Equipment

Watry applies multiple aluminum casting processes to meet the unique requirements of agricultural machinery:

Permanent Mold Aluminum Casting

Permanent mold casting produces dense, high-integrity aluminum components with excellent mechanical properties and repeatability. This process is ideal for agricultural parts requiring consistent wall thickness, dimensional accuracy, and long-term durability.

Semi-Permanent Mold Casting

Semi-permanent mold casting combines reusable metal molds with sand cores to support complex internal geometries. This method is well-suited for agricultural components with internal passages or weight-reduction features.

Tilt-Pour and Reverse Tilt-Pour Casting

Tilt-pour and reverse tilt-pour processes provide controlled metal flow, reduced turbulence, and improved surface quality. These processes help minimize porosity and enhance structural integrity, making them ideal for high-stress agricultural applications.

Integrated Machining and Process Control

Watry’s agricultural aluminum castings are supported by extensive in-house CNC machining capabilities, allowing castings to be finished to exact specifications without leaving the facility. This integration ensures tight tolerances, reduced lead times, and continuous quality feedback between casting and machining operations.

In-house process control includes:

  • CNC machining and finishing
  • Dimensional inspection and validation
  • Metallurgical analysis
  • Leak testing and quality verification

By maintaining full control of the production process, Watry delivers production-ready agricultural components with consistent quality and performance.

Single-Source Manufacturing for Agricultural OEMs

As a fully integrated aluminum foundry, Watry provides agricultural equipment manufacturers with a true single-source solution. Casting, machining, finishing, and testing are all performed in-house, reducing complexity and improving supply chain reliability.

Benefits include:

  • Shorter lead times
  • Reduced supplier coordination
  • Improved quality consistency
  • Lower total cost of ownership
  • Faster response to design changes

This approach allows agricultural OEMs to streamline production while maintaining confidence in component quality and delivery.

Production Scale and Versatility

Watry supports a wide range of agricultural production programs, from specialized low-volume components to high-volume OEM parts.

Capabilities include:

  • Part weight range: 1 lb. to 150+ lbs.
  • Annual volumes: 300 to 600,000 parts
  • Materials: Aluminum alloys optimized for strength and durability
  • Automation: Advanced casting and machining automation for repeatability

This flexibility allows Watry to scale alongside customer demand while maintaining consistent performance standards.
