DISA (Taastrup, Denmark) a technology of AFS Corporate Member The Norican Group, recently announced construction of a new test foundry in Denmark to support producers of aluminum, steel, brass, and bronze castings in adopting the highly-efficient green sand molding process.

The test foundry will run production trials for new and existing castings to prove the green sand process meets both casting specifications and cost expectations. 

By conducting intensive, end-to-end process development using its complete green sand line DISA hopes to challenge the industry mindset that certain castings must be made with certain technologies. Foundries can also submit sand samples to test Simpson sand reclamation and find out what percentage can be reused.
