Running costs decide a lot in a foundry, and Laxminarayan Technologies designs its equipment with that in mind. The Kolhapur manufacturer, working since 1986, reports about 50 percent power savings across the wax, shell and dewax processes and around 40 percent labour savings on its machines. Those numbers add up quickly over a production year. As a wax injection machine manufacturer, the company supplies units that form wax patterns with reliable control over pressure and temperature. Consistent patterns mean fewer rejects downstream, which is another quiet saving. Its wider range covers wax melters, sprue makers, assembly tables, secondary slurry mixers, slurry pots and transfer pumps, rainfall and fluidised bed stucco applicators, steam dewax autoclaves, inert gas flash dewax units, shell firing furnaces, shell knockout machines, ceramic core equipment and abrasive cutoff machines. It also produces chemicals and refractories for the same industry. The machines are highly automated and low maintenance, and they are suited to producing aviation turbine and IGT parts. The company installs worldwide and can deliver a full turnkey foundry, staying involved from design through erection, commissioning and onsite training. ISO 9001 certification backs the process.
