HAWA ENGINEERS LIMITED has its own foundries. A brief details for the various units are as under.
A) Steel foundry with capacity of 850 Tons per annum.
Piece weight: Min. 4 Kg, Max. 350 Kg.
Castings for oil filled equipment under NACE being our specialty. Manufacture of casting is done through electric induction melting, moulding and core making by CO2 binder systems and organic chemical binder systems. Heat treatment is done in ceramic fiber lined, LPG Gas fired and API 6A calibrated furnace.
Facilities include a machine shop for manufacture of pattern equipment and pattern rigging, 2 coreless induction, medium frequency furnaces, continuous high speed mixers with compaction table for moulds cores, impregration chilling plant, 48″ table shot blasting machines, tanks picking, passivation of stainless steel and adequate material moulding facilities.
