Riverside Foundry
Sand Casting Capabilities
Controlled. Repeatable. Ready to Run.
Supporting Engineering and Procurement Teams Across Ontario and North America
Our clients trust us because our output is consistent—run after run, program after program. Throughout the life of a project, our copper-based alloys and aluminum castings are held to the same standard every time. That’s what long-term programs need from a foundry.
Working From Drawings, Solid Models, and Specifications
Every project starts with a conversation. We work directly from your drawings, solid models, and specifications to understand what you need before we talk about how we’ll make it.
Where Alignment Happens
Before production starts, we work through the details that determine how a program runs:
Built for Program Continuity
Long-term programs don’t leave room for variation.
What we do is integrate process control, in-house tooling, and upfront planning to get consistency across every run.
Getting these right at the front end is what makes production predictable.
Sand Casting Capabilities Overview
Riverside prioritizes production reliability with built-in flexibility for complex geometries or custom needs. Automated green sand molding delivers repeatable results for medium- to high-volume runs, while airset molding handles parts beyond standard matchplate limits.
Together, they support steady schedules and specialized requirements.
Typical Production Strength Ranges
Riverside’s primary production strength is in small- to medium-sized non-ferrous castings.
- Bronze and brass castings typically range from 0.5 lb up to 6 lb
- Aluminum castings are commonly produced up to 3 lb
Airset molding supports castings larger than standard matchplate constraints when geometry or weight exceeds these ranges.
Automated Green Sand Molding
Riverside operates Hunter 10 molding machines using standardized 14 × 19 matchplates
This configuration supports controlled production, efficient tooling layouts, and consistent dimensional output across long production runs.
Standardization allows for efficient use of tooling footprint while maintaining production stability.
Airset Floor Molding
Airset molding is used when casting size or geometry exceeds standard matchplate dimensions.
This process allows Riverside to support specialized components and lower-volume programs that require added flexibility while maintaining disciplined production practices.
In-House Tooling & Patternmaking
Riverside provides in-house CNC patternmaking, including fully machined aluminum patterns, core boxes, and trim dies
Maintaining tooling internally supports:
- Revision control
- Faster turnaround on modifications
- Long-term tooling lifecycle management
- Reduced dependency on outside tool shops
The tooling strategy is aligned with production objectives from the beginning of each program.
Non-Ferrous Alloys Supported
Riverside pours a range of copper-based and aluminum alloys selected based on application requirements and service environment.
Other alloys may be available depending on application and production requirements.
