Our Laboratory
Since
1980 Bahr Brothers has been using the latest technology to provide its clients the
capability to test for all known materials. Purchased new in 1996, the Baird DV6
Spectrometer is capable of such analysis. To insure the proper combination of elements
throughout your run, tests are run twice per batch thus providing consistent and
predictable results. Four times a year, test results from the Spectrometer are sent to an
accredited outside laboratory to calibrate results. Our staff of three is capable of
responding to your requests with computer generated results as quickly as four hours after
we receive it.
In addition to analyzing client supplied material, Bahr Brothers has a full sand lab
where tests are performed weekly to insure the proper strength characteristic of the sand
is maintained.
Machine Shop
Bahr Brothers specializes in the
tough jobs. We have lathes that will
swing up to 89" in diameter and
Bullards with swings up to 50" in
diameter. In addition we offer milling
capabilities and multiple drill presses
for a wide variety of applications.
Our Furnaces
In 1909 Bahr Brothers dedicated itself to making superior iron castings. At the
very heart of this is the craftsmanship of mold making. We were committed then to do the
best job we knew how and time has not changed this. Our staff of hardworking local
professionals is dedicated to offering the best and most accurate molds in the industry.
Our two 2500 pound electric induction furnaces and two 1500 pound electric induction
furnaces give us the capability to tackle the short run high quality jobs you demand.

competitors. By utilizing one 1-Ton an hour and one 1/2-Ton an hour Thermal Sand
reclamation units we can eliminate downstream waste sent to landfills. Bahr Brothers is
