Investing in Your Success: New Auto Pouring System Coming July 2025
Automation that raises consistency, protects schedules, and scales with your growth.
At BQC Foundry, smarter processes are the fastest path to better castings. This July, we will commission a fully automated aluminum pouring cell—an investment aimed squarely at your engineering and supply chain goals.
As we approach Independence Day, we’re reminded that progress, ingenuity, and resilience are the values that drive American manufacturing forward. This latest upgrade is part of our commitment to those principles—delivering the precision, reliability, and scalability you need to stay ahead.
What the upgrade means for you
- Higher first pass yield – Precision metering fills every mold the same way, slashing scrap, rework, and material loss.
- Cleaner, stronger metal – A sealed ladle limits oxide formation and hydrogen pickup, improving structural integrity.
- Reliable lead times – Automated handling reduces crashes, fatigue slowdowns, and unplanned stops that push schedules.
- Safer, steadier workforce – Removing manual pours lowers risk and physical strain, helping us retain skilled operators dedicated to quality.
- Room to grow – The cell is sized for added shifts and future powder based fire suppression without compromising consistency.
- Energy savings in progress – Early metering shows lower melt shop kWh per pound, supporting your sustainability targets.
We will continue to invest ahead of demand so you can count on capacity, quality, and delivery, order after order.
We’re committed to making proactive investments that support your business, and we’ll continue to look for ways to improve our processes, people, and performance. Have questions or need to plan around the installation? We’re always here to talk. Let’s work together to ensure this transition goes as smoothly as possible for your upcoming orders.
