Foundry
Farrar Corp utilizes Sinto automated molding machines exclusively. We have three production lines; two make 20″ x 24” molds while the third produces 14″ x 19″ molds.

Our mold handling lines have been designed with an eye toward casting quality and scrap reduction. Rather than utilizing carts that roll over sand covered tracks, our molds are suspended from the ground and sit in Gondolas that avoid the bumping and jostling associated with conventional handling systems.

Our flexible weight system is a step up from the traditional flat weights used by most foundries. Flat weights end up applying an uneven distributution of weight over the top of the mold. This can cause mold crush in some areas and metal run out in others. Our system utilizes Robert Sinto automated Horizontal matchplate molding machines to put the weight where it is needed.
