Iron Foundry

A Short Description

The iron foundry has been designed to cover a wide range of products in both grey and ductile iron:

EN 1561 EN-GJL200

EN-GJL250 EN-GJL300

EN1563 EN-GJS-350-22 EN-GJS-400-18-LT EN-GJS-400-18 EN-GJS-400-15 EN-GJS-450-10 EN-GJS-500-7 EN-GJS-600-3 EN-GJS-700-2 EN-GJS-800-2

EN13835 EN-GJLA-XNiCuCr15-6-2

We are prepared to make from unitary to medium/large series. Depending on the

weight, dimensions and quantities to be supplied we choose the most suitable moulding line to meet our customers’ needs. For small quantities or heavier castings we have one IMF no-bake moulding line where we can pour parts up to 500 kg (grey iron) and 400kg (ductile iron), with a maximum mould dimension of 1300x1200x (2x500). In the BMD green sand automatic moulding line we pour up to 70 kg castings within 800x600x(2x250) moulds. Because we melt in an induction furnace we are able to have a tight control on chemical composition, supported by spectrometer. Castings can be supplied with or without heat treatment and are, usually, protected against rust.



The production of moulding equipment can be made by means of CAD/CAM,

which provides bigger dimensional accuracy and reduces delivery times giving us faster initial samples approval.

Felino has cooperation protocol with some national institutions, including

Engineering School from Oporto’s University. That cooperation gives us the possibilities to make solidification studies, before patterns production, for some more demanding castings. Solidification modelling can help shorten lead times and improve parts’ quality.

Besides the largely experienced technical staff we also have a fully equipped

laboratory to support the production department. Here, we check the sand attributes, the chemical composition, metallographic details and tensile strength as well as ultrasonic and hardness testing, among others.



Foundry Equipment:

- 1 Inductotherm induction furnace 2 ton. (1500+200)Kw – 2 crucibles) - Cold box and CO2 core shop (3 machines and two manual stations) - BMD automatic moulding line (up to 90 moulds/h) - IMF no-bake moulding line with reclamation plant (up to 15 ton/h) - 2 CM shot blasting stations - GF sand testing range - Spectro spectrometer - Hoytom tensile strength tester - Dust and fumes extraction (250kw) - Atlas Copco compressed air system with 2 compressors, filter and air dryer - Emergency power generator

Aluminium Foundry

A Short Description

In the aluminium foundry we manufacture castings in different alloys, in sand and gravity die. We are prepared to supply from very small quantities to large series from 500grs to 80Kgs. To achieve this, we equipped the foundry with a jolt squeeze moulding line, manual moulding sector and gravity machines. The MOD maximum moulding dimension is 710x450x(200+200)mm.

The metal can be melt in three electrical resistance furnaces and this allow us to have a quick response in any of the different alloys or parts. Besides the melting furnaces we also have a heat treatment furnace and an impregnation installation. This gives us the possibility to supply castings virtually leak free.

Aluminium Foundry Equipment

- 3 Naber electrical resistance furnaces - 1 Ripoche heat treatment furnace - Sand preparation, distribution and reclamation plant - Impregnating unit - 4 automatic dye handling machines - Mechanical moulding line with two jolt squeeze machines

Machining shop

In this department, we machine castings from both the iron and aluminium foundries and also other metals parts. Machining castings helps our customers to reduce the number of non-conformities as well as stock levels.

Here we can machine small, medium and large series and the organization of this department allows a fast response to our customers.

Equipped with conventional and CNC machinery, this department has the same aim as the foundries which is a prompt response and a high quality service.

We also have a laboratory for dimensional control that complements the quality

inspections carried out by the operators.

The majority of our customers prefer their parts to be delivered machined and the results are highly satisfactory.

As a result of our experience in machine building, we can easily supply assembly services, with or without special components supplied by our customers. In these cases, we can develop special testing devices to ensure that the goods delivered, after assembly, meet the customers’ requirements.
