Bremer Unveils New Spectrometer
Bremer recently invested in a new SPECTROMAXx benchmark metal analyzer to increase the efficiency and accuracy of elemental analysis of aluminum alloys at numerous points in the casting process. Here is what Bremer Director Of Sales & Engineering Wayne Bennin said about the new spectrometer: “We use this unit to verify the chemical composition of…
Bremer Manufacturing Receives ISO 9001:2015 Certification.
Bremer successfully completed their recertification audit from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 on January 15 & 16, 2018. “We successfully completed our transition audit from ISO 9001:2008 to ISO 9001:2015 on January 16, 2018,” Bremer Quality Manager Marlin Smith reflected. “This was a 2-day recertification audit, encompassing all aspects of our quality & production systems. …
Bremer’s New Air Set Line
Bremer Manufacturing is a leader in aluminum sand castings. We are constantly pushing the envelope to adopt the latest and greatest technology for our customers. In early 2014, Bremer’s new, enlarged Air Set molding line will begin production in a building addition that was completed earlier this year. Air set molding gives Bremer the ability…
Two Methods of Sand Casting Process
The sand casting process of metal casting is used for over 70% of all metal castings. There are many reasons why the sand casting process is the most commonly used: most notably for its cost, freedom of design capabilities, and lead times. Within the sand casting process, there are two different methods. The first is…
Piece Part Final Approval Part 5 (Final)
After sample approval, the part is ready for production. The part moves out of the pre-production mode into the production mode. All paperwork is complete and Bremer Mfg. Co. is now ready for production purchase orders. Our standard lead time is four weeks for raw castings and six to eight weeks for castings requiring machining,…
Gating and Risering – Aluminum Sand Casting Process – Part 3.
Once we have the pattern and core boxes (if required) completed, it is time for rigging the pattern. Rigging the pattern means putting on the gating and risering. This is a very important part of the process because the gating and risering have to match exactly what we have simulated in our Magma Simulation Program….
Aluminum Sand Casting Process – Part 2.
As we move along in the manufacturing process of an aluminum sand casting, the next step after the quote is the actual construction of the pattern. We here at Bremer Manufacturing pride ourselves at being flexible to accept part files from our customers in many formats. Our engineering support team can accept part files via…
The Bremer Process (Series)
This blog is going to be the first of many in a series on the aluminum sand casting process we pride ourselves on here at Bremer Mfg. Co. Many companies would start describing the pattern and design phases as the first step in the process. Not us. We recommend the first step in the process…
Magma Simulation
Bremer Mfg. Co has been using Magma Simulation for over a year. What is Magma simulation? Magma Simulation is a Secondary Operation as part of our Aluminum Sand Castings capabilities. It gives us the ability to model our gating and risering systems long before we pour the first ounce of aluminum into the mold. Before the pattern is…
ROMER Absolute Arm
Bremer Manufacturing Company was one of first aluminum sand foundries to utilize laser scanning for our dimensional inspection of castings and fully machined parts. Laser scanning also gives us the capacity to reverse engineer parts. We purchased our ROMER Absolute Arm over a year ago. ROMER portable measuring arms have fundamentally changed coordinate metrology by going…
