Pump Component Foundry

Six workshops covering the route from pattern to packed part.

Pattern and core making area

Pattern & Core Making

Patterns and core boxes built in-house from a drawing, a 3D file or a worn sample.

Twin Vertical-Line Moulding

The nationally patented sand-moulding system the plant is built around — mould after mould at the same density, which is what makes a batch repeat.
