Tooling
We can assist with the creation of new tooling in conjunction with local patten makers to ensure the work gets done accurately and timely. In cases of existing tooling, at no charge, Kore Mart will equip your tooling with the proper mounting for our machines.
Raw Materials
For Shell, Kore Mart uses its own custom blended RCS that we make on site. We use the finest round and sub-angular sands on the continent. Mixed with state-of-the-art phenolic resin and proprietary release agents, we can make cores to suit any metal type, casting size, surface finish, or get around troublesome defects. For Cold Box, we primarily use 60 Round sand with anti-veining additive when needed. Upon request we can make cold box cores with sub-angular sand.
Careful Packaging
We take great care in packaging your cores to safeguard them during transit. Our team utilizes appropriate packaging materials and techniques to protect your cores from any potential damage. 95% of our cores ship out with one-way packaging, which means it is non-returnable. This inexpensive yet solid and convenient packaging option eliminates having to deal with dunnage and return credits.
