About Feed Auger The feed auger is being used in a calf feeder, to convey pallets, palm kernel, magnesium oxide, molasses and magnesium sulphate. The feed auger is normally designed in 304 stainless steel grade and has to be made by lost wax investment casting for its complex shape. Using 304 stainless steel is a smart choice for manufacturing feed auger project and longevity. It is cost-effective in comparison to other materials. Its high quality and durability ensures that feed…
There may exist several defects in stainless steel investment casting process and shrinkage is the biggest problem that may occur during the production of casting in stainless steel. After the shell is cleaned in the early stage of the casting, the obvious shrinkage can be seen, and the slight shrinkage is only found after pickling & passivation (at first, the color is green and then yellow after a while). The unconspicuous defects are invisible from the surface with the naked…
Marine cross bollard is a fixed structure with one or two bollards fixed to the deck for fastening and operating cables. Marine cross bollards are a simple and cost-effective way to fulfill mooring requirements and safely secure vessels alongside jetties, berths, wharves, and dolphins in ports and harbors. CFS Foundry provides stainless steel casting and polishing service for marind cross bollards with a range of sizes to suit different mooring applications. According to the shapes of marine cross bollards, they…
Stainless Steel Investment Casting is the melting and pouring process of stainless steel into aluminum mould for required shape. With investment casting, the dimensional accuracy of stainless steel parts achieved is better than other casting methods. CFS Foundry is one of the largest stainless steel investment casting company in China. Stainless Steel Investment Casting Process in our foundry includes: First a metal die is manufactured, normally in aluminum, to outline the geometry of the component. Thereafter the pattern is made…
The stainless steel investment casting process can be divided into four stages: wax patterns manufacturing, shell making, smelting pouring and post-processing. We collect the inspection, equipment maintenance and other costs for these four stages into auxiliary production costs. In the four production processes, the costs incurred in the three stages (wax patterns manufacturing, shell making, smelting and pouring) are closely related to the production rate of the process. For example, if the manufacturing cost of wax patterns is calculated according…
When designing a metal component with investment casting process, many people would like to select stainless steel as the casting material for its exceptional resistance to corrosion. 304 and 316 are the two of the most widely used stainless steel casting grades in the world. Selecting the most optimal grade for stainless steel investment casting can mean longer lasting performance, especially in challenging corrosive environments. For 304 and 316 stainless steels, the presence of molybdenum is mainly what makes them…
What is Rod Anchor? Tension Rod System is an aesthetically pleasing method of providing bracing or structural support for a wide variety of architectural, structural and civil applications. Rod anchors, are used to connect tension rods to gusset plates. The rod anchors are made of stainless steel by investment casting method. In more common parlance, such components are sometimes referred to as fork heads, fork-end connectors, heads, forks, eyes etc. The rod anchors represent the successful reconciliation of stringent requirements…
A butterfly valve is a shut-off valve with a relatively simple construction. In closed position, the disc blocks the valve bore while in open position, the disc is turned to allow flow. A quarter turn takes the valve from fully open to fully closed position, or opposite, and thus the butterfly valve allows for quick opening and closure. Compared to other types of valves, butterfly valves have the advantages of simple construction, not taking up too much space, the light…
Stainless steel is a steel alloy, composed mainly of iron and chromium. Stainless steel strong, durable and (depending on its exact composition) resistant to heat, corrosion, oxidation and certain environment conditions. For the good castability of stainless steel, most stainless steel products with complex shapes are produced by stainless steel casting. Stainless steel casting process is the lost wax silica sol casting process starts from the formation of ceramics around a wax pattern to form a shell for casting stainless…
Beer valves are used and are considered the on-off switch of a brewery to keep your beer flowing, or not flowing, which are important to every brewery operation. Whether your have a brew house or a home-made setup, beer valve can accuratly control the flow between tanks and brewing steps, which can ensure a high quality beer. Throughout the brewing cycle, numerous different liquids and gases are brought in and out of the tanks. Depending on the step and the…
