Investment and sand casting foundry with two induction melting furnaces (0.5 t and 1.5 t), spectrometric chemistry verification on every heat, and automated shell-making for volume runs. IATF 16949 process discipline with PPAP submissions.
In this demonstration deployment the imagery above is a generated placeholder, not footage of a real facility. Launch requirements are recorded in public/media/ASSET-MANIFEST.md.
Load figures carry their update date. A percentage with no timestamp is not evidence, so we do not publish one.
| Process | Equipment | Annual capacity | Load | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Investment casting (lost wax) | 2 × automated shell lines, 1 × 0.5 t + 1 × 1.5 t induction furnaces | 4,200 tonnes / year | 76% as of 2026-11-04 | 40 d |
| Sand casting | Static and tilt-pour lines, mould boxes up to 1200 × 900 mm | 6,800 tonnes / year | 69% as of 2026-11-04 | 45 d |
| Heat treatment + machining | Normalising, quenching, tempering; 18 × CNC machining centres | 3,000 tonnes / year | 62% as of 2026-11-06 | 42 d |
A pump OEM in North Rhine-Westphalia was rejecting roughly one in eight CF8M impellers from an incumbent foundry on balance and wall-thickness grounds, and was absorbing the cost of returning failed units from Germany.
A Tier-1 supplier needed a die-cast bracket launched against a compressed programme, and had been burned before by suppliers who submitted incomplete PPAP dossiers that triggered customer rejections late in the launch.
A dairy processor in northern Italy failed a CIP (clean-in-place) hygiene audit because product residue was retained in flange surface irregularities at Ra 3.2 µm, which was the finish its previous supplier quoted as standard.
Food-grade 316L flange with Ra ≤ 0.8 µm wetted surface, passivated and pickled, with dimensional report and material certificate per lot.
Lost-wax cast closed impeller balanced to ISO 1940-1 G6.3, dye penetrant inspected and hydrostatically tested before dispatch.
Aluminium die-cast structural bracket supplied with a full PPAP Level 3 dossier and dimensional layout inspection on each production lot.
