From the method to the machined part, in our own plants.
From your problem to the finished part, every step that decides the life of a casting is ours to control and ours to answer for.
*Casting simulation for critical parts is run with a specialist partner; method design is in-house.
Every new part starts with a method: gating, risering and feeding designed in-house, with casting simulation through a specialist partner for critical parts. Worn parts and samples are reverse-engineered when no drawing exists.
Patterns are made in-house in wood, polystyrene and aluminium, cut on a CNC router. More than 10,000 patterns are already on file, so repeat orders go straight to moulding.
Induction melting in crucibles from 500 kg to 6 tonnes. A dual-track power supply brings up to 10 tonnes of liquid metal to a single pour, so heavy pieces are cast in one go.
Alphaset no-bake moulding gives strong, dimensionally stable moulds for pieces from 3 kg to 7 tonnes. Sand is mechanically reclaimed and reused.
Gas-fired box furnaces with water quench and bogie-hearth furnaces with air and oil quench. Manganese steel goes from furnace to water in about 45 seconds.
Castings are fettled, proof-machined and finished to drawing on CNC and conventional vertical lathes, machining centres and a 6,500 mm special-purpose machine.
Two of our three facilities, pouring about 750 tonnes a month between them.
150 tonnes a month
Smaller and mid-size castings, where precision and short runs matter.
600 tonnes a month
Heavy castings to 7 tonnes, with heat treatment and machining on site.
Laboratory, NDT and inspection are described on the quality page.
A drawing, photographs of the worn part or just the equipment model: any of them is enough to start. Our metallurgists recommend the grade if you don’t know it.
