We aim to be the OEM iron foundry and casting part supplier to the world market.
Our casting services serve wide range of industries, particularly machinery, construction, agriculture, industrial. Inherit casting traditional craft from 1960, we have experience and capacity to process a variety of iron casting parts, from 25 to 250kg.

We aim to be single point of contact for our clients, from the design of the component to the delivery of the finished product. A solid integrated process which take place in our plant in Reggio Emilia allow IRONCASTINGS to offer to the customers a single point of contact for the supply machined, tested and certified cast iron castings.
From melting to burr removal services, heat treatments, mechanical processing, coating, quality control and certification, in order to offer a complete range of products and services. Our facilities are:

• No. 5 multi-pallet machining centers (max. 1300x850x830 mm)
• No. 3 vertical machining centers
• No. 8 vertical lathes (diam. Max. 1300×1050 mm)
• No. 3 automated twin mandrel lathes (diam. Max. 820 mm)
• No. 5 horizontal lathes (diam. Max. 450 mm)
• No. 1 5 axis machining center
• No. 3 automatic three-dimensional measuring machines

Ironcastings produces pieces with a new automatic moulding system plant called Heinrich Wagner Sinto, for flasks sized 1100x900x400+350.
The moulding system employ new “SEIATSU” technology, allowing the company to use patterns with reduced relief angles, to remove cores and avoid strains on castings; such technological improvements consistently and continuously guarantee better and high-quality castings for Ironcastings’ Customers.
The EFA 5,5 plant achieve an output of 120 flasks/hour and is fed by a CAP 8 automatic casting furnace, capable of pouring nodular cast iron and by a sand plant automatically controlled by a GSC (Green Sand Control), enabling the moulding line to constantly receive controlled sand, modified for every kind of planned production.
Moulding Plant:

• Nproduces 100 tonnes daily of liquid cast iron
• uses “SEIATSU” moulding line technology
• Casting cooler Kuttner
• Shotblasting DISA CT4
• N2 Clansman Manipulator

Melting and Pouring Plant: has 4 Furnaces – 3 of them have melting station

• 2 melting furnace, type C55 MF, 5 MW, n.2 55ton
• 1 furnace, type C28 MF, 3.5 MW – 8 T
• 1 CAP (Coreless Automatic Press Pouring) 8 ton, 1,2 MW

Further information:

• Moulding materials: Green sand.
• Production: 120 mould per hour.
• Mould dimension: 1100 x 900 x (400+350) mm
• Operation: two shifts per day.

The castings then reach the “Cooling House” and remain there for the required cooling time, before the shake-out in the final step of the process, without the need of any line operators. The castings enter into a DISA CT4 type continuous passage automatic shot-blasting machine, which shot-blasts the castings before feeder removal.

• One GENERAL KINEMATICS pneumatic system with air pad springs to convey and cool castings
• One DISA CT4 shoot -blasting machine capacity 13T/H
• Two OSGM shoot-blasting machine rampant blet and tunnel

The entire plant has a capacity of 18 tonnes/hour.

• One ARL 3460 spectrometer
• One LECO carbon-sulfer determinator.
• One LEITZ metallograph microscope W/ LEICA las cast iron software for metallographic analysis according to AST 247-ISO 9245-2 JIS G5502 specifications.
• Complete FISHER apparatus for sand tests.
• One GALDABINI traction machine
• One WOLPERT pendulum (for impact test)

An operator located in a cabin, moves a manipulator consisting of 200 bar force robotic arm able to lift, sprues-removal and move casting.
This is a considerable safety improvement, because even in a foundry is possible to automate handling loads increasing precision as well.

Quality is our competitive advantage.
The company has a lot of advanced inspection equipment, thanks to which we are able to supply the high quality castings to our customers, and make products meeting comprehensive inspection requirements on chemical composition, mechanical properties, non-destructive testing. Both in the co-engineering and production process are focused on quality. Our quality control equipment are:

• Tensile , Hardness, Elongation
• Spectrometer , type ARL 3460, 18 elements
• Microscope type LEINZ
• Tensile test machine type GALDABINI
• 1 Hardness tester 3.000 kg, type HECKERT
• Ultrasonic system of “KRAUTKRAMER”
• Dimensional testing
• 1 scan machine, type GOM, type 5M
• Calibers / Depth gauges
