Manufacturing Process
At Candid Ferrocast, our manufacturing process involves molding, casting, shot blasting, CNC machining, inspection, VMC operations, quality control, rust preventive treatment, and marking. We ensure precision and quality at every step to deliver superior products to our valued customers.
Step 1: Molding
Molding is a transformative process where liquid materials are shaped into solid products. It involves carefully selecting and heating materials until they become molten. The molten material is then poured or injected into a precisely engineered mold to achieve the desired shape. After solidification and removal from the mold, additional post-processing may be done to refine the final product.
Step 2: Casting
Casting is a manufacturing process that involves transforming molten materials, such as metals, into a desired solid shape. It begins with melting the material and pouring it into a prepared mold. As the molten material cools and solidifies, it takes on the shape of the mold cavity. Afterward, the mold is removed, leaving behind the solid casted product ready for further finishing and use.
Step 3: Shot Blasting
Shot blasting is a method used to remove surface impurities and achieve a smoother finish on products obtained from the casting process. It involves propelling small abrasive particles, known as shots, at high velocity onto the surface of the casted product. The impact of the shots effectively removes scale, oxides, and other debris, leaving behind a clean and prepared surface. Shot blasting enhances the overall quality and aesthetic appeal of the casted products.
Step 4: CNC
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is a technology that enables automated operations in manufacturing processes. It utilizes computer-controlled systems to precisely control the movement of tools and machinery, resulting in accurate and efficient production. CNC machines enhance productivity, reduce human error, and allow for complex machining operations with high precision.
Step 5: Inspection
Inspection is a crucial step in the manufacturing process where the final product is carefully evaluated to ensure it meets required specifications. It involves thorough examination to assess factors such as thickness, quality, dimensions, and other relevant specifications. Through inspection, any deviations or defects can be identified and addressed, guaranteeing that only products of the highest standards are delivered to customers.
Step 6: VMC
VMC (Vertical Machining Centers) are versatile machines used in manufacturing for performing a range of operations such as drilling, tapping, and more. They feature a vertically oriented spindle that moves along the Z-axis, allowing for precise cutting and machining operations. VMCs offer flexibility and efficiency in producing complex components with high accuracy and repeatability.
Step 7: Quality Control
At Candid Ferrocast, we conduct thorough evaluations of our products on multiple parameters to ensure they meet stringent quality standards and customer specifications. Through meticulous inspections and testing, we verify factors such as dimensions, strength, functionality, and overall performance. This commitment to quality assurance guarantees that our customers receive products that meet or exceed their expectations.
Step 8: Rust Preventive Process
The rust preventive process at Candid Ferrocast involves applying a protective oil coating to the final product, ensuring long-term rust resistance and safe storage. This oil layer acts as a barrier, preventing corrosion and maintaining the product’s quality during transportation and storage. By implementing this process, we enhance the longevity and reliability of our products for our valued customers.
Step 9: Marking
Marking is an essential process where product codes and labels are applied to ensure effective identification and traceability. It involves creating unique identifiers, such as serial numbers or barcodes, and affixing them to the product for easy tracking and reference. This enables efficient inventory management, quality control, and streamlined logistics throughout the product’s lifecycle.
