OUR CAST IRON PRODUCTS START LIFE LIKE THIS, IN THE FORM OF A CAST IRON 'INGOT'

THE INGOTS THEN GO INTO A FURNACE LIKE THIS AND ARE MELTED DOWN TO A MOULTON LIQUID OF IRON

THEN USING A POURING TOOL LIKE THIS, THE MOULTON IRON IS POURED INTO A MOULD

WHEN THE MOULTON IRON IS POURED INTO THE MOULD, THEY ARE BRIEFLY SEALED UNTIL THEY ARE SOLID.

THE MOULDS ARE THEN BROKEN OPEN AND THE NEWLY FORMED PRODUCT REMOVED.

WHEN THEY ARE REMOVED THEY ARE IN ROUGH FORM AND THEN HAVE TO BE GROUND DOWN AND MADE SMOOTH FOR PAINTING

ONCE THEY ARE CLEANED, THEY ARE READY FOR THE PAINT SHOP.

THEY ARE LINED UP AND READY FOR PAINTING

THE FINISHED ITEMS ARE THE COVERED IN A GUNNY SACK TO PROTECT THEM, AND LOADED INTO A CONTAINER TO BE DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER.

NOTHING IS WASTED, 1 OUT OF 3 MOLDED PRODUCTS IS A REJECT, THEY ARE BROKEN DOWN AND MELTED. THIS IS A PICTURE OF REJECTS.
