Large iron castings

We are always eager for a challenge: Our customers from the cast machine components and plant engineering sector frequently challenge us. They require an absolute quality conformity and they place the highest demands on their cast components, whether it is concerns visible surfaces or the homogeneity of the cast material or the material properties.

Today, large pattern stores can hardly be maintained economically. Hollow molds that are only used every few years are not only storage-intensive, but they are a strain on maintenance costs, as well. Our full-mold casting process — whether traditional or with our innovative ClearCast technology — offers an effective alternative for many machinery manufacturers:

• Special machines and individual pieces at extremely low model costs
• More economical for pilot series and quantities smaller than ten
• Immediate availability of castings without the need to keep patterns
• Design changes - e.g., at the start of production – possible without additional costs
• No patterns must be kept in stock for spare parts and machines that are only sold rarely

Castings in full mold also offer significant advantages as an alternative to welded constructions: The delivery time is very short, and the molds offer cost savings while our customers are met with consistent quality, especially in the case of complex geometries.

Römheld & Moelle produces large castings for cast machine components in component dimensions reaching up to eleven meters in length, five meters in width as well as in height. The unit weights of the large iron castings produced range from one ton to 38 tons.
