through the cast steel connections. “As such, these are absolutely criti-
cal structural components.” Cast Connex is not a casting facil-
ity. It designs the cast steel structural components for the construction of buildings and bridges, and partners with steel facilities for the manufac- ture of the components it designs. Cast Connex has designed critical components for many other large- scale projects like the architectur- ally exposed cast steel nodes for the Transbay Transit Center project in San Francisco.

“The Hunter HLM-10 requires up to 50% less maintenance than our previous matchplate molding machines.” PETE VANKIRK - PROGRESSIVE FOUNDRY (PERRY, IA)
Progressive Foundry became a Hunter customer in 1984, purchasing 4 Hunter molding machines, as well as 4 mold handling systems.
In July 2013, Progressive replaced one of the older PDFKLQHV ZLWK +XQWHU¶V ¿UVW HLM linear-motion molding machine. They were so impressed with its performance, they installed a second machine and have ordered a third. Here’s why...
• Ease of change: the same footprint, push-out height, sand receiver and bottom board return as previous machines.
• The HLM’s reduced maintenance (40-50% less than WKHLU SUHYLRXV PDFKLQH LPSURYHG SUR¿WDELOLW\
• Operations are easier because all adjustments can be made from the HLM Human-Machine Interface (HMI) touch screen.
