We
own and operate a foundry in Mexicali, Mexico. This foundry
operates using the latest pollution technology and has set
new standards for the Mexican market. We produce cast iron
products using green sand molding. This foundry produces
4,000 tons per year of public works castings.
At
our Joint Venture facility (DDF) our annual production is
100,000 metric tons of about 3,000 different types of
products. The
3,000 different products include truck tractor & lifting
equipment parts, mining machinery & oil industrial parts,
construction municipal & fitting parts and more.
DDF
is capable of producing ferrous (gray iron, Ductile iron,
alloy steel, manganese steel, strength steel, wear resistant
iron), and non ferrous metal ranging in size from a few
ounces to 30,000 lbs.
DDF
passed the ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2001.
DDF now
has two foundries 10km cupolas from each other. The old
foundry covers 33,000 m2. With two 10-ton cupolas, three
vacuum molding systems and two no-bake sanding molding
systems, the foundry has an annual capacity of 40,000 tons
to produce construction machinery counterweights such as
aerial platforms, scissors lifts, excavators, wheel loaders,
crushers, crawlers, trailers, etc.
The
new foundry is almost two times the old foundry in area.
With designed annual production of 60,000 tons, it is
equipped with two 10-ton and two 7-ton cupolas separately
accompanying with 4 vacuum molding systems mainly for
producing forklift counterweights and two no-bake sand
molding systems for producing ductile iron / high strength
cast iron castings.
Another three electric furnaces make this foundry capable of
produce cast steel and wear resistance cast iron castings.
DDF
has two machining workshops with over 50 machines and two
CNC machining centers - vertical and horizontal that allows
us to meet our customers various machining requirements.
