Tilt Pour Aluminum Castings

Tilt Pour Aluminum Casting – Automated, Efficient, Scalable

Tilt pour aluminum casting is a refined form of permanent mold casting where the mold is slowly tilted during the pour, allowing the molten aluminum to flow more smoothly and reduce turbulence. This method dramatically improves metal flow and reduces gas entrapment and porosity—leading to structurally superior parts.

At Watry Industries, we’ve pushed the boundaries of this method by integrating advanced automation, robotics, and engineering systems into every phase of production:

• Robotic Pouring and Extraction: Our automated cells ensure a repeatable and controlled tilt pour process, removing variability and enhancing quality.
• Universal Mold Mounting System: Reduces changeover time and increases tooling versatility across multiple work cells.
• Precision Control Systems: Maintain optimal pour temperatures and tilt rates, resulting in castings with excellent grain structure and dimensional stability.
  

We produce tilt pour castings ranging from 1 lb. to over 150 lbs., in volumes from 300 units to 600,000+ annually. Our process supports a wide variety of permanent mold aluminum alloys, customized to meet the performance requirements of each customer’s application.

We Don’t Just Pour Castings—We Solve Supply Chain Challenges

Watry’s mission extends beyond aluminum casting. We partner with OEMs and manufacturers to help:

• Reduce production and tooling costs
• Minimize inventory through just-in-time manufacturing
• Shorten lead times with agile production systems
• Reduce logistics and transportation overhead
• Eliminate headaches through single-source project management

With decades of experience serving customers across diverse industries—including HVAC, marine, automotive, heavy equipment, and industrial machinery—we understand the unique demands of high-performance, precision aluminum components.

We’ve built long-term relationships with manufacturing customers that rely on us for dependable delivery, tight tolerances, and responsive technical support at every stage of production.

Technical Advantages of Tilt Pour Aluminum Castings

Watry’s tilt pour aluminum casting capabilities are engineered for performance-critical applications where material integrity, tight dimensional control, and repeatability are non-negotiable.

What Are The Advantages of Tilt Pour Casting?

Compared to static pouring, the tilt pour process offers several distinct benefits:

• Reduced Turbulence: Slower metal entry minimizes surface oxidation and disruption of the molten metal flow.
• Lower Porosity: Less trapped gas means denser, stronger castings.
• Improved Grain Structure: Controlled cooling and filling support directional solidification and high mechanical strength.
• Excellent Surface Finish: Reduces the need for secondary machining or finishing in many applications.
• Greater Dimensional Consistency: Critical for components with tight tolerance and structural specifications.

These attributes make tilt pour castings ideal for:

• Structural housings
• Transmission cases
• Impellers and pump bodies
• Mounting brackets
• Engine components
• Heat exchangers
  

Our engineering team works directly with your designers to optimize part geometry for manufacturability, identify appropriate aluminum alloys, and deliver a casting that meets or exceeds your application’s performance standards.
