In this well equipped
department, castings ranging from small items weighing from just a
few grams to 60 kilograms are produced in small, medium or large batch
quantities.
Moulds and cores
are made using the latest and most environmentally friendly chemically
bonded sand binder system. For maximum environmental and cost efficiency,
all used sand is reclaimed, reclassified and reintroduced into the
system.
The first foundry
worldwide to use a pioneering Low Odour Urethane system giving improved
environmental performance employing the current best available technology
