CASTING, FOUNDRY & FORGE

Hydraulic solutions for ferrous and non-ferrous foundries, forging presses, die-casting machines and heat treatment operations. High-temperature, high-pressure, contaminated environment engineering.

FORGES AND FOUNDRIES — WHERE HYDRAULICS PROVE THEMSELVES

A forge press runs at tonnes of force, thousands of cycles per shift, in an environment of heat, scale and vibration that most hydraulic systems do not tolerate for long. A die-casting machine shoots molten aluminium into a die at 700 bar and 600 shots per hour. A foundry pouring crane must never fail while carrying a ladle of molten iron.

We have built and maintained hydraulic systems for forging presses, die-casting machines, gravity casting lines, sand casting equipment and heat treatment furnaces across the Eastern India foundry belt. Parker heavy-duty components, temperature-resistant seals, and condition monitoring that catches a pump wear problem before it becomes a press failure.

          CASTING & FORGE DEMANDS
          Extreme cyclic duty — 100,000+ press strokes per year
Shock loading on forge presses — hydraulic system must absorb peak transients
Die-casting: shot pressure to 700 bar, intensification cylinder required
High ambient: foundry floor temperatures 40–60°C
Scale and metal splash contamination of hydraulic reservoir areas
Kanthal heating elements for furnace temperatures to 1,100°C
