Foundry Accomplishments
Throughout the industry, Benton Foundry is renowned as being a leader in terms of quality, service, innovation and resultant growth. Benton has been recognized for many significant accomplishments, some of which include:
- A designation as one of " America 's Best Melt Shops" by Modern Casting magazine
- A leading edge facility equipped with the latest in technological advancements, including approximately 20 million dollars in recent capital improvements
- The World's First DISA Match 130 System - As a progressive and innovative jobbing foundry, Benton Foundry is proud to be the home of the first DISA match 130. This state-of-the-art machine produces horizontally parted molds with vertical blow and squeeze at 160+ molds per hour. A critical aspect of this new machine is the flexibility it offers in down-sprue locations and compatibility with a wide range of foundry's existing standard-size matchplates without modification.
- A nationally recognized staff with graduates from top-notch foundry programs, prestigious colleges and universities.
- A core room that has been saluted by Modern Casting magazine as "Best In Class"
- Community involvement and vendor relations, as represented by our rapport with Inductotherm and DISA
- Our orientation towards family values in our business, which has been privately owned and operated by three generations of family members and is poised for a fourth
Benton Foundry's true value to a customer is in the ability to provide low net total cost and consistently useable castings. This is demonstrated by having over 97 percent on-time deliveries and less than 1/2 percent return casting credits on difficult sizes, shapes and applications. Also, those enlightened customers that truly monitor scrap rates, machine time and machine speeds will see a financially significant difference between Benton and other so called "low cost" foundries. If you have jobs that are constantly high in scrap, let us review them so that you can recognize the savings that accrue to Benton Foundry's current customers.
