Casting

Kilner & Hutchinson provide a full casting service for grey iron, SG iron, Ni-resist and Ni-hard castings. Whether you have pattern equipment created already, or need assistance developing a new one, we are here to help.

We take pride in the quality of every aspect of our iron casting process, developing and producing castings for components of all shapes and sizes.

Custom iron castings

We create iron castings for a wide range of components – from standardised engineering castings and pumps and valves to highly specialised and intricate one-offs for use in architectural restoration.

But that’s not all – our expertise has seen us develop moulds for all manner of industries, requirements and products. With over 40 years in the iron foundry industry, nothing surprises us!

Mould creation

The furan sand used for our moulds is produced through three computer-controlled sand blenders to maintain quality and efficient chemical bonding. This reduces waste and over-use of acid and resins, which in turn improves the casting surface and finish, with minimal defects.

Our moulds are produced from either loose, board mounted or boxed pattern equipment with volumes of up to 2,000 to 3,000 per annum.

Our core blower allows us to quickly and easily blow high quality and complexity cores in large or small volumes.

Casting patterns

As a full-service metal casting company, we also offer a metal casting pattern making service for our customers. Patterns are used to prepare the cavity that allows a mould to cast specific shapes, and is a key part of the moulding and casting process.

Whether you already have one made, or require assistance in manufacturing a robust pattern that will give you the results you need time and time again, talk to the team at Kilner & Hutchinson.
