Cast Technologies provides brass casting services for Illinois manufacturers that require dependable production, controlled alloy handling, and support from initial casting through completed part machining. Located in Peoria, Illinois, our non-ferrous foundry serves OEMs and industrial customers across Illinois, the Midwest, and the United States.
Founded in 1887, Cast Technologies combines generations of foundry experience with modern molding, machining, testing, and dimensional inspection capabilities. Our integrated production environment allows foundry and machine shop teams to coordinate closely throughout each project.
Whether your application requires a leaded, low-leaded, or non-leaded copper-based alloy, our team can evaluate your part requirements and determine an appropriate production approach. Speak with our team to discuss your specifications and request a quote.
Cast Technologies produces brass and bronze sand castings for industrial and OEM applications. Our foundry has experience casting more than 30 different copper-based alloys, including leaded and non-leaded materials.
Most of our copper-based casting production is completed through green sand molding. This process supports repeatable production while accommodating different part sizes, geometries, and volume requirements.
These production options allow our team to match the molding method to the size, complexity, tooling, and expected quantity of the component.
Castings can be supplied as-cast or completed to print through our attached machine shop. Design analysis and modeling can also be completed in-house using Solidworks to help evaluate casting geometry before production begins.
Our brass casting capabilities are intended for manufacturers that need technically controlled, repeatable production from an experienced non-ferrous foundry. We support customers developing new components as well as companies seeking a long-term source for established production parts.
Each project is evaluated according to its material, design, tolerances, testing requirements, tooling needs, and anticipated production volume. This helps determine whether the component aligns with our foundry and machining capabilities before production planning begins.
Brass casting projects require more than the ability to melt and pour metal. Alloy control, molding consistency, dimensional requirements, machining considerations, and inspection procedures must work together throughout production.
Cast Technologies has been operating since 1887 and is now a fourth-generation family-owned manufacturer. Our Peoria facility includes more than 250,000 square feet of shop and office space, giving our foundry and machining teams the resources to support demanding industrial projects.
Our brass and bronze capabilities include experience with more than 30 alloys. Cast Technologies was also one of the early foundries to pour non-leaded and low-leaded brass. We have invested in environmental equipment and production controls for safely and responsibly handling leaded materials.
Physical separation is maintained between the ladles and liners used for no-lead brass and those used for other alloys. These controls help protect alloy integrity and support consistent production requirements.
Customers also benefit from direct coordination between our foundry and machine shop. Rather than sending a casting to an unrelated machining provider, our teams can communicate in real time when a dimensional, production, or machining issue requires attention.
Our production process is planned around the customer’s print, alloy, quantity, finishing requirements, and quality expectations.
Our team reviews the component design, material requirements, expected quantities, tolerances, and required secondary operations. In-house design analysis and Solidworks modeling may be used to evaluate the casting before tooling or production begins.
Our attached foundry and 25,000-square-foot machine shop provide one-source responsibility for every project. Rather than coordinating multiple suppliers, customers benefit from a single manufacturing partner throughout production.
Molds are produced using the selected automated or manual molding line. Copper-based alloys are poured using controlled ladle systems designed to support safe, consistent foundry operations.
After solidification, castings are removed from the mold and prepared for the required finishing operations. Parts may be delivered as-cast or transferred directly to our in-house machine shop.
Our attached 25,000-square-foot machine shop contains 23 CNC machines. This allows Cast Technologies to machine raw castings into completed parts without transferring responsibility to an outside supplier.
Available quality and inspection resources include:
This integrated approach provides one-source responsibility from casting through machining and inspection.
Using separate foundry and machining suppliers can create communication delays, added transportation, and uncertainty about responsibility when a problem occurs. Cast Technologies completes both operations within one Peoria manufacturing facility.
This vertical integration supports:
Our operating principle is straightforward: we cast the part, we machine the part, and we remain responsible for the work completed within our facility.
Cast Technologies is located in Peoria, Illinois. We serve manufacturers throughout Illinois while also supporting customers across the Midwest and the United States.
Our central Illinois location provides access to regional and national shipping routes without creating false claims of offices or foundries in other cities. Customers work directly with the production teams at our Peoria facility for casting, machining, inspection, and project coordination.
Illinois manufacturers looking for an established brass foundry can work with one source from early design analysis through recurring production. Request a quote to determine whether our capabilities align with your component requirements.
Cast Technologies has experience pouring more than 30 brass and bronze alloys, including leaded, low-leaded, and non-leaded materials. The appropriate alloy depends on the component’s application and documented material requirements.
Yes. Cast Technologies was one of the early foundries to pour non-leaded and low-leaded brass. Separate ladles and liners are maintained for no-lead production to support controlled material handling.
Most copper-based products are produced through green sand molding. Available equipment includes Hunter and Sinto automated molding systems as well as Osborne cope and drag molding equipment for larger green sand molds.
Yes. Our 25,000-square-foot machine shop is attached to the foundry and contains 23 CNC machines. Parts can be supplied as-cast or machined and completed to print.
Cast Technologies supports projects from prototype development through ongoing production. Each opportunity is reviewed according to the part design, alloy, tooling, quantity, and manufacturing requirements.
Customers should provide available drawings, material specifications, estimated quantities, tolerance requirements, machining needs, testing requirements, and any relevant application details. This information allows our team to evaluate the project accurately.
Cast Technologies provides Illinois manufacturers with experienced brass casting, in-house machining, and quality inspection from one Peoria facility. Our team supports technically demanding components from initial review through completed production.
