A Brief History
The company was founded in 1964 by Al Hunter, who still serves as Chairman of the Board.  The first machine came off the drawing board in the same year, and was designed to accept existing matchplate patterns of the size being used by most hand molders.  The molding machine has evolved over the years with many refinements and technological improvements, leading to its present G&H Series machines.

  • High pressure, high density, horizontally parted automatic molding.

  • Flasks are filled by gravity as the molding sand passes through an automatic high speed riddle.

  • Cope and drag molds are squeezed simultaneously by hydraulic pressure.

  • The pattern is subjected to high intensity vibration  during the fill, squeeze, and draw portion of the molding sequence.
