Casting processes include shell, greensand and airset moulding...

Shell moulding

For precision iron castings up to approximately 35kg at a medium volume production. The shell moulding process produces castings with a high dimensional accuracy, good surface finish, and excellent reproduction of detail. These qualities often reduce the amount of subsequent machining, assembly and finishing when compared with conventional casting methods and therefore result in cost savings.



Vacuum backed shell moulding

For large precision iron castings up to 100kg at medium volume production. Our unique vacuum backed shell moulding process offers all the benefits of the standard shell process with the ability to cast larger more complex castings. This is possible because the moulds are supported at high pressure by vacuum pumps to prevent any mould failures. These pumps also aid gas removal and therefore help to produce high quality castings.
