Key Benefits
Extensive foundry operations and foundry equipment experience.
Many years of hands on experience in foundries around the world.

Ability to take your concepts from your thoughts, to integrated design, to completed construction.
Foundry Capabilities
General Foundry Review
- Del Sol takes a straight forward review approach. We call our approach to foundry review "forest for the trees". For us, we can walk into your foundry, and since we do not live there, we can see process solutions you have been walking past for years.  Often, we can help your operation and organization by simply being able to see and analyze the forest because we are not stuck within the trees.
Facility Scanning and Modeling
- Del Sol has the ability to laser scan and provide for solid modeling of your plant and proposed equipment solutions. We are excited about this capability and the depth it brings to our engineering offering.

And finally, the finished product...
Civil Engineering - Construction - Installation
- Del Sol offers geotechnical evaluation and civil engineering for building and equipment foundations. This is an awesome addition to our design services and now allows us to go from concept to full installation.
Molding
- Del Sol offers functional airset and greensand molding design and review.  Whether you need to update a few pieces of equipment, or need to design a brand new foundry, we have the experience to help.
- Significant experience in operations, equipment, and system design allow us to analyze and implement appropriate improvements in your foundry.
- We excel at visiting your foundry, gaining insight as to what you want to accomplish, reviewing current capabilities, and offering real, hands on solutions.  Our specialty in molding system review is taking an existing system that needs improvement, upgrading it using best in class equipment selections, and adding the necessary equipment to accomplish your goals.
   "Del Sol has the innate ability to analyze projects with an uncanny sense of forethought in a very short amount of time. You just don’t see that in people anymore."
