Offer - services

The offering of Odlewnia Kutno includes castings weighing from 0.3 to 61 kg made from grey and ductile iron, produced primarily to customer specifications.

We provide comprehensive services – from design, through the creation of foundry tooling and casting production, machining, and painting, to assembly and shipping.

We have several thousand types of ready products in the offer for various industry branches.

What do you gain with comprehensive service? 

significantly reduced production time for castings 

only 3 to 5 weeks from the completion of technical documentation to the delivery of finished castings! 

optimised production costs 

the entire process is completed in one place. 

product ready for implementation 

no need for additional machining, cleaning, or painting.

highest quality guaranteed

achieved through the use of cutting-edge technologies and quality control at every stage of the process. 

We design

Our team consists of experienced engineers and technologists with high qualifications in mould technology, moulding and core sands, metallurgy, as well as design engineers who create and prepare foundry tooling documentation.

We prepare documentation based on drawings of parts or ready castings provided by the client. We offer consulting and seek optimal solutions. 

We provide foundry tooling

Based on developed construction documentation, we produce new complete foundry tooling – moulding patterns, mould bases, and core boxes.

This work is performed using modern CNC machine tools. We can also adapt existing patterns to moulding to the technical requirements of our foundry.

The team of engineers in the technological and design department uses MAGMASOFT for casting process simulations and the SOLID EDGE software in their daily work. The team also has access to a 3D scanner.

We prepare modelling of:

• Cast iron, steel of a lifespan up to 100,000 moulds
• Aluminium of a lifespan up to 40,000 moulds
• LAB material of a lifespan up to 100,000 moulds 

We produce

Melting and spheroidising of cast iron

At our foundry, we produce items from grey and ductile iron. The melting process is carried out in three OTTO Junker induction furnaces, each with a 6-tonne capacity, allowing us to achieve molten metal with any desired chemical composition. For ductile iron production, we use the flexible core wire method (PE).

Quality control in the melting stage includes analysing the chemical composition of both the input materials and the molten metal in the induction and pouring furnaces. The chemical composition is tested in our central laboratory, equipped with a SPECTROMAXx emission spectrometer. 

Moulding

Moulds are created with the use of bentonite sand technology. Moulding is performed on automatic moulding machines:

  • horizontal SINTO moulding machines
    flask sizes: 700x900x250 and 700x900x150
  • vertical DISAMATIC moulding machines
    package size: 525×650 with automatic core feeding capability

 

The high efficiency of the DISAMATIC moulding line allows us to fulfil orders quickly and on time. DISAMATIC technology ensures high quality and consistency in the castings produced.

Core production technologies:

  • COLD-BOX – with Laempe, Fischer, and Ferro shot blasting machines
  • HOT-BOX – with SINTO shot blasting machines. 

Pouring

Mould pouring is carried out using pouring furnaces (pourers) by ABB for horizontally parted moulds and OTTO Junker for the vertically parted DISAMATIC moulds. All pourers are equipped with inductors that provide continuous monitoring of the molten metal temperature, and the pouring process is conducted using optical pyrometers to control the temperature of the molten metal stream. Additionally, in the production of ductile iron castings, a nitrogen protective atmosphere is created in dedicated pourers. 

We clean

We clean the castings using drum and hanger shot-blasting machines, which ensure excellent surface quality for raw castings. 

We machine

In our CNC department, equipped with machining centres, we perform mechanical machining of castings and foundry tooling based on technical documentation provided by the client or developed by our engineers. 

We paint

Castings are painted using an immersion method with water-based or solvent-based paints tailored to customer requirements. 

We control quality

Throughout the production process, we employ various quality control methods to ensure high quality and consistency of final product parameters.
After cleaning, each component undergoes detailed visual inspection. Our in-house laboratory conducts the following tests:

  • microstructure analysis of castings
  • tensile strength testing of cast iron (Rm)
  • hardness testing of castings (HB)
  • impact testing at room temperature and at -20°C
  • non-destructive testing (NDT) using the RAM method. 

We pack and deliver

We offer the following packaging options for finished products:

  • wrapped on EPAL Euro pallet,
  • on EPAL Euro pallet with extensions,
  • in gitterboxes,
  • in various metal or wooden containers,
  • custom packaging upon request.
