Super Vac Foundry

What Super Vac Foundry does

Super Vac Foundry is a custom metal casting foundry headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, operating as a subsidiary of the family-owned Super Vacuum Manufacturing (founded 1959). Established approximately 35 years ago per company materials, the foundry provides turn-key metal parts production spanning green sand casting (olivine sand plus bentonite clay molds for aluminum and brass), permanent mold casting (gravity/tilt pouring using reusable gray cast iron molds), shell molding (thin resin-sand shells), CNC machining, and thermosetting powder coating (polyester, acrylic, epoxy). Per its materials, the foundry is the only permanent mold casting operation in Colorado and operates the state's largest shell core machine, accommodating core boxes up to 2,500 lbs; its largest furnace holds up to 600 lbs of metal at 1,200-2,200°F.

The production stack includes five CNC machining centers (HAAS VF3, HAAS VF7, HAAS SL 30HP lathe, HAAS CL-1 chucker lathe, and a TRUMPF TruLaser 2030 4,000-watt laser), an HP Multi-Jet Fusion 5200 3D printer for prototypes and short-run parts in Nylon 12 PA12 (80-micron accuracy), Vectis robotic welding, Timesavers 22 Series deburring, and a Safan Darley E-Brake 100T press brake. The company positions itself as a single-vendor solution that takes a part from raw casting to finished, coated component inside one factory, eliminating multi-vendor handoffs. The General Manager is Roland Hass, reachable at (970) 297-7064 and [email protected].

The company employs 51-100 staff and serves three primary verticals: aftermarket automotive parts (e.g., cast aluminum valve covers, transmission pans, and dragster parts for buyers including ATS Diesel Performance), fire and emergency apparatus and equipment, and heavy-duty industrial segments covering construction, manufacturing, and mining. GTM is direct sales with quote-based pricing on custom specifications; there is no e-commerce, configurator, API, or instant-quoting channel. As a private, family-owned operation with no disclosed outside equity or debt financing, ownership remains closely held inside the Super Vacuum Manufacturing group, and the foundry doubles as an internal supplier for the parent's light towers, ventilation fans, and fire truck production lines.

Core offering

Super Vac Foundry operates a metal casting foundry producing custom cast aluminum and brass parts via green sand casting, permanent mold casting, and shell molding, with in-house CNC machining and industrial powder coating to deliver turn-key finished components. The company serves automotive aftermarket, fire and emergency vehicle, and heavy-duty industrial manufacturers nationwide, also supplying castings internally to its parent company Super Vacuum Manufacturing.

Product overview

Super Vac Foundry is a metal casting foundry offering a comprehensive suite of turn-key manufacturing services centered around metal casting processes. The core product portfolio includes four distinct casting methods: Green Sand Casting (using olivine sand and bentonite clay for aluminum and brass), Permanent Mold Casting (gravity/tilt pouring with reusable iron molds), Shell Molding (high-volume resin sand shell molds), and CNC Machining. These primary casting and machining services are supported by secondary finishing operations including Industrial Powder Coating (polyester, acrylic, and epoxy), 3D Prototyping using HP Multi-Jet Fusion technology, deburring, press brake forming, and robotic welding. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for complete turn-key parts, from raw metal casting through final finishing, serving automotive, fire and emergency, and heavy-duty industrial sectors.

Products and services

• Green Sand Casting Services Metal casting service using green sand (a combination of olivine sand and bentonite clay) to create molds for aluminum and brass castings, ideal for low- and high-volume specialty parts. More than 80% of metal castings use this process; largest furnace holds up to 600 lbs at 1,200–2,200°F.
• Permanent Mold Casting Process Casting service using reusable permanent molds made from gray cast iron, employing gravity/tilt pouring to fill molds with molten aluminum for higher production rates, finer grain structure, and better dimensional accuracy; mold life of several thousand cycles.
• Shell Molding and Shell Casting High-volume shell molding service using a thin shell of resin sand molds for high production rates and superior dimensional accuracy, with the largest shell core machine in Colorado accommodating core boxes up to 2,500 lbs.
• CNC Machining Services Precision CNC machining with five machining centers including HAAS VF3 (7,500 RPM, 48" x 18" table, 24-pocket tool carousel), HAAS VF7 (10,000 RPM, 7' table), HAAS SL 30HP CNC Lathe, HAAS CL-1 Chucker Lathe, and TRUMPF TruLaser 2030 (4,000-watt laser cutting aluminum and steel 10x faster than waterjet).
• Industrial Powder Coating Services Industrial thermosetting powder coating including polyester, acrylic, and epoxy options, with CrysCoat 747 wash preparation, electrostatic application, and curing at 350°F for 15 minutes; two booths including a dedicated Hammer Tone Red booth, providing durable seamless finishes for cast and machined parts.
• 3D Prototyping and Parts Manufacturing Services Prototyping services including HP Multi-Jet Fusion 5200 3D printing using Nylon 12 PA12 powdered plastic accurate to 80 microns for metal casting patterns and medium-volume production parts, plus deburring via Timesavers 22 Series, Vectis robotic welding, and Safan Darley E-Brake 100T press brake forming.
• Aftermarket Automotive Parts Cast aluminum automotive components including valve covers, differential covers, transmission pans, alignment bars, and brass auto parts produced for the aftermarket automotive and junior dragster parts industries; includes products for customers such as ATS Diesel Performance.
