Storage Management For Materials and Our Range

We possess a world class storage facility for both the raw materials and our finalized array. The procuring and storage of materials is managed via a perfect combination of different documented procedures. As per the requirements of concerned departments, we place orders for the materials with the approved suppliers only. We have also incorporated a system for authorization and monitoring of various suppliers.
 
We implement a safe and efficient strategy to manage and store the finalized range. This assists in the prevention of damages or deterioration of the array. In case of machined components, we apply anti-rust oil on their machined surfaces and red-oxide on the ascast
surfaces. Our spectrum is stored in a marked section to ensure proper and speedy identification.
 
Identification System
 
All the received materials are identified by their location as well as their test status. To maintain the identification and traceability of these procured raw materials, we employ suitable means such as:
 
  • Tags
  • Display boards
  • Colour codes and many others
 
The finalized array is identified by their respective:
 
  • Pattern No. / Drg. No.
  • Heat No.
 
These numbers are punched on the surfaces of our castings.



Manufacturing Process

We follow an established manufacturing process to develop our range. This process starts from MS / SS scraps as raw materials and includes following steps:
 
Melting:

  • For melting, we use known quality of scrap
  • For CS castings, we give preference to profile cutting scrap. This ensures known chemistry & low %C
  • For SS castings, we generally use the market available ‘L’ (low carbon) scrap. This ensures to maintain the %C below 0.08% in the final casting
 
Moulding:

We follow CO2 mould practice as a part of our Moulding Procedure.

  • For all the moulds, 100% dry sand devoid of any moisture is used as facing sand
  • For backing purpose, we use crushed (Recycled) sand
  • Various moulding boxes are available in different sizes to meet client’s specific needs. New moulding boxes can be added as per client’s requirements.
 
Closing:

  • In this process, all the moulds of same graded castings are kept in a row and applied with Zircon based mould paint on it.
  • These moulds are heated by portable heater and then cleaned.
  • Then these moulds are closed as a Cope & Drag on each other of the same mould
  • Then molten metal is poured at specific temperature as per grade’s requirement
 
Knock-out & Riser Cutting:

  • On second day of the pouring, the castings are knockout from the moulds
  • Sand around risers of the castings is removed
  • Risers are cut by gas-cutting process
 
Heat Treatment:

We have 2MT & 4MT Oil fired, bogie hearth type Heat treatment furnaces that assist us in carrying this process as per the Grade’s requirement
 
Fettling:

We have 2 nos. 125 CFM, 100 PSI CP Screw Air Compressors with pneumatic tools for fettling purpose. This fettling process includes various activities such as:

  • Sand removing
  • Grinding
  • Chipping
  • Sand / shot blasting and many others
 
Machining:

Most of the castings offered by us are in machined condition, either proof or finish machined. We do machining from our sub-contractors (Outsource).
 
Inspection & Dispatch:

At regular intervals of time, we check the quality of our range. After dimensional and NDT tests, the array is dispatched as per client’s information
 
All the stages of our manufacturing process are supervised by our mentors and various skilled personnel.
