The Permanent Mould Process involves manufacture of Grey Iron castings in Grey Iron moulds. Component cavities are accurately copy milled on mould blanks by using CAD/CAM. Metal is melted in hot blast cupola of 5 T / Hr capacity. Dies are mounted on the rotating carousels and the molten metal is poured. The castings produced are then annealed, finished, inspected and despatched to the customers.

     
The Permanent Mould Castings produced in our foundry have the advantages of consistent dimensions over large volumes of production, easy machinability, dense, non-porous structure, very close dimensional tolerances and high degree of pressure tightness ideal for hydraulic applications.
