legacy of innovation and a reputation for delivering durable, efficient, and tailor-made equipment, we have become a trusted partner to industries that require precision-engineered solutions. From simple steel fabrications to the most complex automated material handling systems, our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction drives everything we do.
Founded on the principles of engineering excellence, fabrication integrity, and client-centric service, States Engineering has grown into a leader in the foundry equipment sector by offering versatile solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern industry. We are proud to serve a diverse client base across heavy industries, helping companies improve productivity, safety, and efficiency with expertly designed equipment and robust customer support.
Comprehensive Product Line
Our product range is extensive, encompassing a wide array of standard and custom-built equipment designed for sand processing, product handling, and material movement in foundry and other manufacturing environments. We take pride in our ability to provide turnkey solutions — from design and fabrication to installation, testing, and training — making us a single-source supplier for many of our clients’ most critical industrial systems.
Key product categories include:
Ringmullors with Moisture Control Systems
These are essential for preparing sand mixtures with precise moisture content, ensuring optimal mold strength and casting quality. Our advanced moisture control systems allow for real-time monitoring and adjustment, greatly reducing variability and increasing process consistency.
Rotary Screens
These robust machines are used for screening reclaimed sand and other granular materials. Our designs are durable, customizable, and built to handle a wide range of material types and processing volumes.
Brush Aerators
Used to aerate compacted or reclaimed sand, our aerators are designed for long life, low maintenance, and maximum performance in conditioning sand for reuse.
Trenchveyors
Engineered for horizontal or inclined conveying of sand or similar bulk materials, Trenchveyors offer efficient material transfer in tight plant layouts. Their modular design allows for customization to specific space and capacity requirements.
Storage Bins and Feeder Bins
Designed for bulk material storage and regulated discharge, our bins are available in multiple sizes and configurations, with options for sensors, flow control, and integrated systems connectivity.
Flask Fillers
Automated flask fillers streamline the mold-filling process, improving consistency and reducing labor demands in high-throughput foundry environments.
Bucket Elevators
Vertical conveying of sand, aggregates, or other materials is made reliable with our high-strength, low-maintenance bucket elevators. These are built to endure tough industrial environments while maintaining efficient performance.
Shakeouts (Various Types and Capacities)
We offer a full range of shakeout equipment, from vibratory to rotary and deck-type systems. Designed to separate castings from sand, these machines are optimized for throughput, noise reduction, and minimal sand degradation.
Overhead Prepared Sand Distribution Systems
These systems transport prepared sand to multiple points within the foundry, reducing the need for manual handling and increasing plant efficiency.
Mold-Handling Conveyor Lines
Custom-designed to accommodate mold size, weight, and process flow, our conveyor systems help foundries achieve efficient, synchronized production cycles.
No-Choke Molder Hoppers
Designed to deliver sand in a controlled and consistent manner, these hoppers minimize interruptions and downtime during the molding process.
Custom Guarding, Platforms, and Structural Fabrications
Safety and accessibility are crucial in manufacturing environments. States Engineering offers custom catwalks, operator platforms, and machine guarding solutions built to spec and compliant with all relevant safety standards.
Custom Design and Fabrication Capabilities
At the heart of our company is our ability to customize. We understand that no two manufacturing operations are exactly alike, and that off-the-shelf equipment often falls short of addressing specific operational challenges. That’s why we specialize in custom-designed and built material handling and process equipment. Whether you require an adaptation of one of our standard models or a completely new machine concept, our team has the skill and experience to make it a reality.
We are especially adept at integrating new systems into existing facilities, minimizing downtime and ensuring compatibility with current operations. Our solutions are built not just for functionality, but for longevity, ease of maintenance, and scalability.
Engineering Excellence
Our engineering department forms the backbone of our design and development efforts. Staffed with seasoned professionals who understand the demands of industrial manufacturing, the team utilizes the latest in CAD and simulation technologies. We operate with:
Autodesk Inventor (2013–2016)
AutoCAD (2012–2016)
We can work with a variety of file types including PDF, DWG, DXF, and IGES, allowing us to collaborate seamlessly with clients, regardless of their in-house design tools.
Our engineering services include:
Plant Layout and Workflow Optimization
Weldment and Structural Design
Safety Guarding and Platform Design
Custom Automation and Electrical Integration
Client-specific design documentation — All final assembly drawings become the property of the client, offering transparency and full control for future modifications or replications.
In-House Fabrication & Turnkey Installation
One of the key advantages of working with States Engineering is our complete in-house capability. Our manufacturing facility is fully equipped to fabricate, assemble, and test all equipment before it ever leaves our shop. This control over the entire process enables us to:
Maintain strict quality standards
Offer rapid prototyping and revisions
Conduct equipment run-off tests prior to shipping
Provide comprehensive operator and maintenance training
This capability dramatically reduces the chance of issues during on-site installation and startup. It also enables us to deliver true turnkey installations, including all mechanical and electrical integration, system calibration, and post-installation support.
Parts, Service, and Support
Our relationship with clients doesn’t end at installation. We offer a full line of replacement parts, routine maintenance services, and emergency repair capabilities to ensure your systems run smoothly for years to come.
Our technicians are highly experienced and available for on-site troubleshooting, upgrades, and system evaluations. Many of our clients appreciate the personalized service we provide, as well as our ability to quickly source or fabricate hard-to-find components.
Customer Relationships & Repeat Business
One of the greatest validations of our work is the loyalty of our customers. We enjoy a high rate of repeat business, which we attribute to the personal confidence and trust we build during every project. Our engineers work closely with customer teams, creating a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and long-term partnerships. The complexity of our projects often requires in-depth collaboration, which naturally strengthens these relationships and gives us a competitive edge in securing future business.
