Plant & equipment
Melting, moulding, sand reclamation, machining, testing and warehousing on one site in Shanxi — 80,000 m² under roof, 80,000 tonnes a year.
Foundry
Two imported DISA lines carry the high-volume work; three domestic vertical lines and a shell line take the smaller batches and heavier parts. All melting is induction, all sand is reclaimed on site.
Machining
Castings can leave as castings or as finished parts. Twelve vertical machining centres and fifty lathes are backed by our own fixture shop, so a new part is not held up waiting for tooling.
Fixtures in-house
Hydraulic and manual fixtures designed and built by the tooling team for repeatable location on cast surfaces.
Threaded and flanged parts
BSP and NPT threading, flange facing and drilling to EN 1092 or ANSI patterns.
Leak and pressure testing
Hydrostatic testing of valve bodies and fittings before finishing.
Quality & testing
Chemistry is corrected at the furnace, not discovered after machining. Tensile, hardness, metallography and dimensional checks then verify the casting before it moves on.
| Instrument | Make / model | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Optical emission spectrometer | ARL, Switzerland | 26 elements in ~30 s, every heat |
| Carbon–sulphur analyser | CS-9900 | C and S in iron |
| Metallographic microscope | Zeiss, Germany | Graphite form, matrix, nodularity |
| Tensile testing machine | SANS, USA | Electro-hydraulic servo, tensile & yield |
| Hardness tester | Brinell | HB on castings and samples |
| Coordinate measuring machine | CMM | First article and critical dimensions |
| Flaw detection | NDT | Porosity, shrinkage, cracks |
| Sand laboratory | — | Moisture, compactability, strength, LOI |
Stock, packing, dispatch
A 10,000 m² automated high-bay warehouse holds 6,000 pallet positions, so repeat orders can ship from stock instead of waiting for a full production run. Export packing, palletising and container loading are done on site.
Repeat orders
Standard fittings and valve sizes can be stocked against your forecast.
Export packing
Neutral cartons, customer artwork, or pallets to your forwarder’s specification.
Photo report
Packing photos and the inspection record are sent before the container leaves.
