Equipment and production technology

Ferroalloy castings

The core assortment is represented by a machine production of castings on the moulding lines, where we produce castings of up to 500 kg, accuracy category GTB 16. It is a production of moulds of single bentonite mixture by pressing, jolting and jolting with final pressing by a split pressing head. Moulding frame dimensions of our moulding lines are as follows:

Moulding frame dimensions (mm)	Casting weight (kg)
1,450 x 900 x 400/400	5-500
700 x 500 x 200/200	5-25
1,000 x 750 x 350/300	15-120
1,000 x 750 x 300/200	15-120
Cylinder line – casting jigs Ø190/290

Aluminium alloy castings

These castings are produced by sand mould or gravity die-casting.

Technology	Casting weight (kg)	Accuracy class
Manual sand moulding	0.2 - 100	GTB 15/5
Machine sand moulding	0.4 - 40	GTB 15/5
Gravity die-casting	0.1 - 25	GTB 14

For higher weight categories of up to 150 kg, please contact our sales representatives.
