Total Foundry Solutions

Foundry Capabilities
Commissioned in 1961 as a Meehanite License holder to meet captive requirements of high quality castings needed for machine tools. Caters to the requirement of jobbing orders Five foundries each attached to manufacturing units at Bangalore, Pinjore, Kalamassery, Hyderabad, & Ajmer. The Foundry supplies from simple to critical castings to machine tools, printing machine, press, foundry machinery, earthmoving machinery, compressors, etc.

The Infrastructure - Capacity

Total Capacity Weight Range Gray Iron SG Iron 6000 MT per annum Up to 12 MT Up to 5 MT

The Infrastructure Products & Grades

Gray Iron FG20, FG25, FG30, FG35, FG40 (IS 210) Flame hardening Heat and wear resistant Pressure type SG 400/12, SG 500/7, SG 600/3 (IS 1865)

The Infrastructure Pattern Shop

Has all the adequate facilities for manufacture of complicated patterns and has expertise in the manufacture of metal, wooden and polystyrene patterns.

The Infrastructure - Moulding

The Foundries at HMT follows No-Bake process that guarantees dimensional accuracy. In one of the foundries (Machine Tool Division, Kalamassery) continuous mixer with reclamation unit is installed that adopts Furan/Phenolic Binder system that has flexible core setting and pouring operations to provide versatility to handle varying size, intricacy and volume requirements.

The Infrastructure - Melting

The Foundries in each Unit have 2-3 main frequency induction furnaces of different capacities ranging from 1.5 MT to 5 MT. The melting process undergoes strict quality control of composition with spectrometer. All critical parameters like physical properties of metal analysed using state-of-the-art testing equipment

The Infrastructure - Melting

The Infrastructure - Fettling

The Foundries in each Unit have following facilities. Pneumatic equipment for fettling operations including chamber type shot blasting unit and heat treatment and painting facilities for customised finishing requirement. Outsourcing whenever required.
