Investment Casting for Agricultural Applications
In the Agricultural industry, investment casting is one of the most common manufacturing processes used for the production of complex farming equipment and machinery. One reason is its ability to meet tight tolerances. Besides it, short lead times, reduced waste, and little secondary machining required are inexpensive. They are also the reason to choose investment casting for producing the highly durable parts required for demanding agricultural applications.
The agricultural industry is responsible for putting food on our tables, rain or shine, which is why agricultural equipment must be manufactured to perform in the most strenuous conditions. When it comes to the production of complex farming equipment and machinery, investment casting is one of the most common manufacturing processes used, in part, due to its ability to meet tight tolerances. With short lead times, reduced waste, and little secondary machining required, investment casting offers an inexpensive and efficient method for producing the highly durable parts required for demanding agricultural applications.
Hengke Metal has over 60 years of experience producing investment cast parts for a variety of challenging applications. Quality is our top-priority, which is why we provide in-house verification and NDT product-testing services to meet all necessary industry requirements.
