- 2. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com AboutUs Established in 1973, BAS Castings Ltd is a successful and expanding foundry business that has created a superb, efficient manufacturing facility to produce high integrity iron castings. Continual investment in modern manufacturing techniques, career training and a commitment to Quality Management systems has enabled BAS Castings to provide a flexible and modern approach to our customer’s demands. The high integrity iron castings we produce are exported world wide and are used in the most demanding industrial applications. Strict metallurgical controls are in place to ensure that the chemical and mechanical properties of materials cast meet or exceed national, international and customers own specifications. We also have a steel casting plant based in Chesterfield manufacturing high integrity steel castings. H.I Quality steel manufactures all grades of carbon steels through to duplex stainless steels. Combined we have over 200 employees with a group turnover of £25 million

- 8. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com MOULDING Focusedon cost reduction Castings are manufactured on five dedicated moulding lines that result in the lowest manufacturing cost whilst achieving the technical criteria required. Shell Moulding Castings produced by this method offers the ultimate dimensional accuracy for small components. Machining allowances can be reduced or even eliminated with tolerances of 0.25mm achievable. Casting weight range 0.10 – 20 kgs Boxless Moulding Boxless Moulding Taking full advantage of the strength of the Alphaset chemically bonded sand system, compact moulds provide a cost effective method of manufacturing castings. Compact moulds are tailor made to suit the component size ensuring that material usage is kept to an absolute minimum. Alphaset is recognised within the industry as offering the best surface finish and dimensional accuracy of any chemically bonded sand system currently available. Moulds are handled with self levelling hydraulic manipulators and flood coated to ensure that a superior surface finish and accuracy for which BAS Castings is renowned is maintained Small Boxless Moulding: – Casting weight range 0.25 – 25 kgs Medium Boxless Moulding: – Casting weight range 25 – 200 kgs
- 9. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com MOULDING MetalBox Moulds When component size is too large for boxless moulding we have two boxed sections that handle large components efficiently and safely. Where economically sized moulding boxes are not available purpose made boxes are procured. Board mounted production pattern equipment ensures that complex castings are manufactured efficiently to achieve the lowest production costs. Step joint and diablo location ensures that the mould halves close precisely giving neat flush joint lines. Consultation with our technical staff at the design stage will result in taking the sand casting process to its extremes enabling cast features to be incorporated resulting in reduced machining and finishing costs. Medium Metal Box: – 200 – 750 kgs Large Metal Box: – 750 – 5000 kgs
- 10. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com CoreProduction Extensive facilities allow complete production flexibility Cores are manufactured onsite in Alphaset sand, Shell Moulding and Betaset. In choosing the core making type we take into consideration the dimensional accuracy and surface finish required, the size and quantity of the casting and commercial considerations. We aim to provide the best and most cost effective solution for all of your casting requirements.
- 11. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com ADDEDVALUE Providing cost effective post-casting operations We welcome the opportunity to supply post casting operations such as machining and fabrication. We have a carefully selected network of approved machining subcontractors that cover the spectrum of machining requirements. The ability to provide post-casting operations can provide an ideal commercial solution for our customers. The foundry is then in total control of all quality and logistics. We also offer services for the following: •Pattern making •Painting •Surface hardening •Pressure testing •Third party certification •Non destructive testing •Chemical analysis

- 13. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com QUALITYCONTROL Ensuring our customers needs and expectations are met Our quality management system is approved under BS EN ISO 9001. We also hold accreditations issued by Lloyd’s Register, DNV-GL, ABS, TUV, BV and KR. From receipt of enquiry presentation of a fully detailed technical and commercial offer, production planning/liaison and manufacturing processes we aim to provide the highest and most professional service to our clients. Castings are produced to meet highly demanding operational requirements. In addition to chemical, mechanical testing and close process controls, the quality of the iron casting is proven by Non Destructive Testing (NDT), machining or sectioning. First off castings are checked dimensionally and reports issued accordingly with the submission of the sample. Machined components are inspected on a 3 axis coordinate measuring machine checking the components to three decimal places. The surface quality of the casting can be confirmed by either Magnetic Particle or Dye Penetrant testing. Internal soundness can be checked by radiographic (X-ray) or Ultrasonic testing. All NDT is carried out by fully qualified personnel working to national, international or customers specific standards. It is the aim of our business to manufacture iron castings right first time. By combining today’s casting technologies with our highly skilled technicians we are able to accept demanding iron casting requirements with confidence.
- 14. Castings For Industry www.bascastings.com QUALITYCONTROL Ensuring our customers needs and expectations are met Chemical tests are done in house via spectro prior to and during casting to help ensure quality of metal, we can confirm results at external contractors should a customer request it. Mata-check tests are carried out prior to Knock out of moulds again to help ensure quality of product.
