Being one of the few companies in the sector that integrates a foundry furnace in its own facilities, Dolz has a manufacturing plant, built on <\/span>an area of\u00a025,000 square meters oriented to innovation and market demands<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this post we explain the benefits of <\/span>in-house production<\/span><\/a> and what the injected casting process of our European plant based in Spain consists of.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Injected casting<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Casting process\u00a0involve the use of molten material, usually metal. The process in which molten metal is poured into molds is known as injection molding. At <\/span>Dolz<\/span><\/a> we have this process for the <\/span>impellers and housing water pumps manufacturing process by aluminum injection<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aluminum alloys are used in many applications in the automotive industry such as gearboxes, engines, or water pumps, among others. And this sector is, in general, responsible for more than a quarter of the aluminum that is produced worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Injected<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Foundry<\/a>-24 hour<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dolz plant has a 24-hour active casting phase that grants all internal manufacturing needs, with an\u00a0<\/span>actual output over 17.000 units per day<\/b>. and up to 100,000 pieces per week.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is in this phase where the aluminum is melted, which will later be injected into the moulds. This metal has a combination of properties that make it very useful in the Dolz production, <\/span>its low density and its high corrosion-resistant make the performance and durability of the Dolz water pump optimal<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to its lightness, the fact that it is an indefinitely recyclable material, maintaining all its quality, stands out.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Injection<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Injection moulding is a very popular technique that gives us versatility, an easy and fast reaction and higher\u00a0performance\u00a0levels in the production.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this process, it is where the molten metal is injected into closed molds under pressure and cold to obtain the raw casting (or water pump housing) and where they are also exposed to pressure testing\u00a0for strength and leak\u00a0tightness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefits of in-house production<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hosting all production processes means great benefits both in production and in the final product. Among the main benefits of having the foundry process integrated in our own facilities, we find:<\/span><\/p>\n
