Foundry

S.Agostino Foundry was the first in Italy to install electric induction furnaces designed to produce rolls. In particular, there are 3 electric induction melting furnaces for liquid preparation of 6 and 15 tons and gas furnaces for heat treatments: all furnaces are automatically controlled by PLC.

Only top quality raw materials are selected and used to feed melting furnaces.We also use mechanized systems for the preparation of sands and automatic machines for flask moulding.

The foundry productive capacity amounts to 8.000 as cast tons a year.

During the melting cycle process check-ups take place in order to test the quality of the cast iron produced.
