Lifts and Escalators
The lift and escalator industry mostly requires products manufactured in grade 300 SG iron. Grade 300 cast iron is useful for applications that require excellent wear resistance, and parts that are heat treatable. Real Cast Foundry typically manufacture lift sheaves, belt pulley wheels, brake parts and guide plates for the lift and escalator industry.
Paper, Mills and Carpet Manufacturing
Products for these industries are manufactured in a range of materials, from grade 400/10 SG Iron, which offers the impact resistance and durability of ductile iron whilst retaining the machine ability of grade 250 cast iron, to grade 250 cast iron itself and aluminium. Cams, rollers and carpet loom parts are manufactured in the material most suited to their needs.
Power Stations
For many years Real Cast Foundry have been producing fire bars for fossil fuel power stations in engineering grade 250 cast iron.
Railways and the Automotive Industry
Mostly manufactured in engineering grade 250 cast iron, Real Cast Foundry produces brake discs and drums, gear cases, exhaust and inlet manifolds, rail chairs and drive train components as well as rail base plates in grades of ductile cast iron.
