Discover green sand for aluminum at EUROGUSS: 5 times faster, 15% lower cost
Producing light metal casting and visiting EUROGUSS 2026 | Shaping the Future of Aluminum Casting DISA’s Eren Koç and Per Larsen will be on the ground to discuss green sand opportunities for aluminum and showcase a wide range of aluminum castings produced in green sand. Here, they explain how green sand could be your new competitive edge.
Eren: “Green sand is such a great choice for many aluminum castings. It delivers superb quality, excellent surface finish and super-fast production, at a much lower cost per casting than die casting.”
Per: “That’s because DISA green sand is an incredibly high-tech process. Our advanced, highly-automated machines make rock-solid moulds, creating on-spec castings that meet demanding quality requirements. The surface finish is similar to low-pressure die casting* and other permanent mould processes. But you get the high speeds and low costs previously only seen for high-volume iron casting production.”
Eren: “We’ve invested heavily in bringing the benefits of the super-efficient DISA green sand process to more aluminum casting categories. Over 30 global foundries already cast aluminum with DISA green sand. Short cycle times make it five times faster than die casting but fast pattern changes keep it flexible too. Core handling on DISA machines is fast and easy, so it’s perfect for complex, core-intensive castings.”
Per: “The green sand process suits both high volume production and jobbing foundries with short runs and lower volumes. Some of our customers produce less than 100t annually and others more than 10,000t.”
Eren: “Tooling is far cheaper than permanent moulds too. US aluminum caster BQC’s MATCH tooling costs 10% of permanent moulds, with six times the lifetime. For prototyping and short runs, plastic, aluminum or wood tooling costs even less. As a result, BQC have successfully helped their own customers switch products from die casting to green sand.”
Per: “We can deliver speed and scale for aluminum. Compact and cost-competitive machines like the DISA MATCH and DISAMATIC C3 fit perfectly into any foundry to increase aluminum profit margins. We can show alu casting producers how green sand would fit their business – and work with them and our test foundry to explore green sand as a high-speed, highly cost-efficient alternative to die casting.”
Whether you’re a die caster diversifying by opening a green sand line or a no-bake foundry switching alu production to green sand, visit DISA at the Norican stand at EUROGUSS EUROGUSS | EUROGUSS | International Trade Fair for Die Casting: Technology, Processes, Products (Hall 4A / Booth 4A-3310) to find out how to be ultra-competitive in aluminum casting.
