As an alternative to traditional steel-fabricated gears, we have developed expertise in producing large ductile iron gear blanks for mining and mineral processing applications.
We produce:
- Ductile iron gears with a minimum hardness up to 285 Brinell hardness
- Gear blanks up to 26 feet in diameter, and rated from 400 to 3,750 horsepower
- Bearing bases, caps, gears, trunnion liners, and many other castings used in ore and minerals grinding equipment
