In terms of both
volume and total tonnage produced, this is the larger of the two foundry
operations. To cater for the wide variety of hollow tubular pipe forms
that are cast in this department, extensive shell core making capacity
that is capable of high production output is available from a range
of core-blowing machines. In addition to manually operated, free standing
and rig mounted dies, a number of automatic and semiautomatic Tilt
Pouring machines are used. These machines offer very good production
rates giving consistent casting quality for parts ranging in finished
weight from a few kilos up to 20 kilos
