Fire Fighting Equipment

The high impact and wear resistance offered by SG Ductile iron makes it an ideal material for manufacturing products for fire-fighting equipment. Pipes, valves, levers, support castings, trunnions, gears and barrel mountings are all manufactured at SG Castings

Wind Energy and Hydro Electric Power Stations

This growing industry sector has seen growing demand for latch plates and pump components - both items manufactured by SG Castings and available in both SG and Grey Cast Iron.

Roller Door Components

Chain wheels, top and bottom guides, pulley brackets and links are amongst the products manufactured in a range of materials - SG (Ductile) cast iron, aluminium and engineering grade 250 cast iron are all used by the roller door industry.

Bakeries and Food Production

SG Castings manufacture bread slice frames and commercial oven spatulas in LM26 and LM4 aluminium, as well as cast iron barbeque grilles.

Cast iron crank cases and cranks are also made at SG Castings for production line manufacturing.

Lifting and Handling

Casting in grade 500/7 SG (Ductile) cast iron, SG Castings manufacture a wide range of lifting and handling equipment - from crane runway wheels to winch drums and rope pulleys the high ductile grade offers the physical properties to stand up to the rigours of this industry. Lifting and handling equipment can also be manufactured in grade 250 cast iron when appropriate.

Lifts and Escalators

The lift and escalator industry mostly requires products manufactured in grade 300 SG iron. Grade 300 cast iron is useful for applications that require excellent wear resistance, and parts that are heat treatable. SG Castings typically manufacture lift sheaves, belt pulley wheels, brake parts and guide plates for the lift and escalator industry.

Paper, Mills and Carpet Manufacturing

Products for these industries are manufactured in a range of materials, from grade 400/10 SG Iron, which offers the impact resistance and durability of ductile iron whilst retaining the machinability of grade 250 cast iron, to grade 250 cast iron itself and aluminium. Cams, rollers and carpet loom parts are manufactured in the material most suited to their needs.

Power Stations

For many years SG Castings have been producing fire bars for fossil fuel power stations in engineering grade 250 cast iron.

Railways and the Automotive Industry

Mostly manufactured in engineering grade 250 cast iron, SG Castings produces brake discs and drums, gear cases, exhaust and inlet manifolds, rail chairs and drive train components as well as rail base plates in grades of ductile cast iron.
