Cast iron foundry for the mechanical industry
The specialization of cast iron foundries extends from the production of continuous or shell castings to the specific production of components for a wide range of industrial applications. Among the main uses are parts for production machinery used in the wood, paper, and leather processing industries, as well as plastics presses and components for tractors and robotics.
This wide range of products demonstrates the foundry's versatility and ability to meet the needs of customers from various sectors.
Ductile and lamellar iron foundry
The foundry machinery is capable of processing different types of cast iron, both lamellar and spheroidal.
Spheroidal cast iron, or ductile iron, is distinguished by its excellent machinability due to the free carbon present in the form of spherical graphite.
Flake cast iron, or grey cast iron, has a simpler and more cost-effective processing.
Its characteristics include high rigidity and the ability to dampen vibrations.
Fusory cast
The cast iron foundry's melting department is equipped with high-performance machinery that allows for an annual production capacity of approximately 4,000 tons. Among the key features are two electric induction furnaces, with capacities of 5 and 15 tons, respectively, used for heat treatment of materials.
This level of technology guarantees precision and reliability, fundamental elements for the quality of finished products.
