Gravity Die Casting
What we do

ABI houses a state-of-the-art plant to produce Gravity Die Castings. ABI is well equipped to produce both permanent mould and semi-permanent mould castings, and has the ability to produce castings with both horizontal and vertical parting line. The casting facility at ABI consists of seven carousal cells each containing eight individual machines and 14 individual stations to produce castings of different sizes.

ABI has ability to manufacture cores in-house to ensure quicker turnaround and maintain product quality. Smooth and uninterrupted movement of cores and parts in the facility is carried out by a conveyor system employed in the plant. The GDC division of ABI is also equipped with a heat treatment facility. Castings are heat treated, to improve mechanical properties based on customer specifications and requirements.

Melting Facility

ABI is equipped with two melting furnaces.

  • 1.5 Tonnes/Hr furnace
  • 1 Tonne/Hr furnace  

Casting

ABI’s facility is equipped with seven, eight station carousels with ability to load single or multi-cavity dies. Metallic inserts and sand cores are used to create the hollow portion in the parts. The shell cores from the core drying ovens are directly transferred to the casting machines through a conveying system.
