Process Advancements Set New Standards for
Heavy-Section Steel Casting Quality
We use bottom-pour ladles to minimize oxidation,
thus ensuring unparalleled casting integrity.
Castings can be poured at the rate of up to a ton
per second achieving unit weight capacities of up to
45, 359 kg ( 100, 000 lbs) .
Plus, unique risering techniques enhance the
integrity of the finished product.
In the case of this drag line center pintle casting,
we were able to produce a cast solution with quality
and reliability characteristics that exceeded a
forged-fabricated component... in less time and at a
significantly lower price.

Our Overall Application Engineering Innovations Help
Customers Around the World Minimize Their Total Cost
of Ownership. Our split riding ring is a classic
example of our ingenuity in action.
This unique design reduces installation time from
six days or more to approximately three shifts. It
also minimizes shipping and crane rental costs.
It’ s just one of the many ways we work with
customers to develop new and better ways to deliver
the best lifetime value.
