The process

How centrifugal
casting works.

Centrifugal casting uses rotational force to distribute molten metal inside a spinning mould, producing dense, high-quality, seamless tubes and cylindrical components with excellent mechanical properties.

By combining precise process control with decades of experience, we produce components with a homogeneous structure, free from porosity and other defects, ready for the most demanding applications.

Material preparation

Molten metal is poured from a ladle into a pouring tub, feeding the rotating metal mould mounted on casting machine rollers.

Pouring

The metal mould rotates horizontally on precision rollers at high speed while molten metal is continuously introduced through the pouring tub.

Centrifugal force

The molten metal is forced outward against the inner wall of the rotating mould by centrifugal force, removing impurities and creating a dense structure.

Controlled solidification

The metal solidifies from the outside in, producing a homogeneous, high-integrity cylindrical casting.

Extraction

The solidified casting is removed from the mould as a seamless tube or cylinder for further processing.

Raw castings

High-quality raw tubes
from the casting process.

Our centrifugal casting process produces robust, high-integrity tubes with a dense and homogeneous structure, providing the ideal starting point for machining or further processing.
