Sand Cast Lead
Central Milled Lead specialise in providing high-quality sand cast lead products designed to meet the specific needs of a wide range of industries. With over 35 years of experience in lead casting and manufacturing, we have established a reputation for precision, reliability and excellent customer service. Whether you require custom shapes, large volumes or intricate designs, our sand-casting expertise ensures the highest standards of quality and consistency.
Sand cast lead is a traditional but highly effective manufacturing process in which molten lead is poured into sand moulds to create a variety of shapes and components. This method is particularly suitable for producing lead parts with complex geometries and detailed features that can be difficult to achieve using other casting techniques.
The sand-casting process offers great flexibility in terms of design and size, allowing us to handle both small batches and large production runs. Because sand moulds can be produced quickly and economically, sand cast lead remains a cost-effective solution for many applications.

Our Sand Cast Lead Manufacturing Process
Pattern Design and Mould Preparation
We start by creating a detailed pattern that serves as a template for the sand mould. High-quality sand mixed with binders is used to form the mould cavity, accurately reflecting the shape of the final product.
Melting and Pouring
Lead is carefully melted in our controlled furnaces to the correct temperature. Once molten, the lead is poured into the sand mould, filling the cavity and taking the shape of the required component.
Cooling and Removal
The molten lead cools and solidifies within the mould. After cooling, the mould is broken away to reveal the freshly cast lead item.
Finishing and Quality Control
Cast components undergo finishing processes such as trimming, milling and surface treatment to meet strict dimensional and surface requirements. Each item is thoroughly inspected to ensure it complies with your specifications and our quality standards.
