Palmer Foundry Palmer | 11 tems which soon resulted in their achieving greater efficiencies, product quality and capacity to serve. They implemented automation and enhanced technology tools. They also developed a system for recycling sand. As they formerly had at least two truckloads of sand being hauled-in and hauled-out each day, only being used once, the new system allowed for the material to be recycled, in fact, the company still recycles some 16 to 20 million pounds of sand per year. “We felt like we couldn’t stop looking at what’s next,” says Logan. “We kept asking, ‘What can we do better?’ What can we do to make us stronger as a company?’” The obvious answer can now be found within the castings produced by Palmer. Over the years, the company has produced components from new alloys that include: HyDuct5™, an alloy that is resistant to corrosion, has excellent anodization properties and is perfect for applications where high ductility is required (compared to 356-T6 and 356-T51 alloys, this has a higher ultimate tensile strength of 35,000 versus 33,000 and 25,000 respectively and an elongation value of 9% versus 3% and 2% respectively); VaPore®, a vacuum-tight aluminum casting produced from a proprietary process used throughout industries with a spotless perforDennis performs 1st article inspection using laser scan system
