Melting<\/a><\/h2>\n

We have eight gas fired tilting aluminum melting furnaces onsite with a capacity ranging from 300kg to 600kg per melt. In addition, our 850kg electric holding ladle enables us to merge two furnace loads of material and undertake rotary degassing. Read more on our Melting furnaces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Core Making<\/a><\/h2>\n

Harrison Castings specialize in sand casting core making and produce complex cores for small and large castings for a wide range of applications and industries. Harrison Castings’ core shop consists of 2 cold box core blowers and a Triton (TS5) 3 tonne per hour free standing sand mixer.\u00a0Read more on our Core Making<\/a>\u00a0capabilities.<\/p>\n

Heat Treatment<\/a><\/h2>\n

Though many aluminum castings are used in the \u201cas cast\u201d condition, some applications will require metal properties that are not present in the cast material, such as enhanced strength. We have aluminum casting heat treatment machinery for precipitation treatment (TE condition).\u00a0Read more on Heat Treatment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thermal Sand Reclamation<\/a><\/h2>\n

In combination with our\u00a0mechanical reclamation plants, the thermal sand reclamation plant allows us to recover up to 80% of the sand used within the foundry for the production of aluminum castings which is then re-used.\u00a0Read more on Thermal Sand Reclamation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finishing<\/h2>\n

We are able to carry out extensive finishing processes, including fettling, shot blasting\u00a0and hard anodising.<\/p>\n
