Manufacturing process

  1. Prepare molds using patterns and moulding machines.
  2. Melt high-duty iron in a rotary furnace at controlled temperatures.
  3. Inoculate the molten metal with calcium silicide to ensure proper graphitization.
  4. Pour the molten iron into prepared molds.
  5. Allow the castings to cool and solidify.
  6. Remove castings from molds and perform grinding and finishing.
  7. Conduct hardness and quality testing to ensure product standards.
