Gravity Die

The Die Foundry is engineered for flexibility, allowing rapid response to a wide range of customer requirements, enabling APL to perform and maintain on-time deliveries. Mechanised and semi-automatic die moulding machines provide the basis for our production service.

APL have been the main exponents of introducing the highly productive, 7 station, multi-die carousel casting machines, offering customers high volume, consistent quality, castings at competitive prices.

To compliment the production facility, our highly flexible core shop, utilising shell, cold and hot box methods of core manufacture, enables APL to meet the increasing demand for complex internal forms of gravity cast components.

The foundry is supported by an experienced, technically competent, engineering services team, who liase closely with our customers and advise on specification to ensure that the most cost effective solution is achieved.
