Today, the foundry industry continues to evolve as new technologies are employed to meet demands for higher-integrity, higher-performance components.
Steloy prides itself on consistently pushing the boundaries of new technologies in order to supply pump castings of improved quality both locally and internationally, thus meeting the application and quality requirements of customers who manufacture products according to exacting international specifications.
An ongoing investment in research and development to acquire the latest technology and modern production methods gives Steloy the ability to develop specialist alloys for specific pump applications within reasonable timeframes. The result of these efforts is that Steloy is able to reduce the take-to-market lead time for a first-of-its-kind casting, allowing customers to provide quicker turnaround times while still producing products that are on par with the level of superior quality that supersedes industry expectations.
According to Danie Slabbert, CEO at Steloy Castings, said: "Well-structured and well-manned quality assurance and quality control measures, supported by excellent production, control and technology, is how Steloy is able to ensure quality products on time."
The addition of the powerful simulation tool, Magmasoft, allows users to simulate the casting process from beginning to end without the initial outlay for raw or special materials. Its simulation capabilities allow Steloy not only to determine casting integrity, but also predict certain quality levels when developing high-alloy and highly specialised castings.
