In 1963, Al Hunter had an idea for a new type of automated green sand molding ma- chine and founded the company the follow- ing year. Hunter’s machines have evolved the foundry industry during the last 50 years with many refinements and technological improvements. And while common wisdom suggests that “Pioneers get the arrows, set- tlers get the land,” Al Hunter revolutionized an industry by pioneering the adaptation of automated machinery that changed the foundry world. Those who knew him will tell you: Al never “settled” for anything less than design integrity, ingenuity and simplicity. Hunter employees have carried his worthy legacy and tradition from one generation to the next, at all levels through- out the company.

Latest Products


The latest addition to Hunter’s matchplate molding equipment line, the HLM Series de- sign is based on a proprietary new concept in automated matchplate molding technology. Its combination and integration of magnetically coupled rodless cylinders with linear bear- ings (for movements of the squeeze platen, cope flask, sand measuring hopper and other components) are an industry first. Where cam followers, wheels, tracks, rails and other mechanical components subject to wear and degradation have previously been used for these motion functions, the HLM’s sealed linear bearings and rodless cylinders replace these older components to provide smoother, quieter and more energy-efficient operation. This results in lowered maintenance re-


quirements, greater machine stability and improved mold quality.


Additionally, Hunter’s full line of turntable and linear mold handling machines are used in nearly every country where metal cast- ing occurs throughout the world, with all types of molding machines, regardless of manufacturer.
