Home/ Equipment & process/Equipment & capacity
Equipment and capacity, four processes under one roof
From ingot melting and sand-core making through gravity and high-pressure casting, T6 heat treatment, precision machining and inspection, every stage runs on our own site. 96 vertical drilling and milling centres, 25 gravity casting machines, 10 die-casting machines from 280 to 1200 t and 12 core shooters. No key process is subcontracted, so delivery and quality trace back to heat and lot.
Site / Site & capacity
Site, scale and design capacity
The plant is at No. 178 Xueyuan North Road, Yongkang Economic Development Zone, Zhejiang.
The site covers 30,000 m² with more than 60,000 m² of factory floor space.
The 25,049 m² No. 3 plant, completed in 2022, houses casting, machining and storage.
The company employs more than 260 people and reported sales of
RMB 125 million in 2025.
The company profile gives a design capacity of 1.1 million small castings and
600,000 large castings per year, about 142,000 pieces a month. Design capacity is
not the same as delivered capacity; scheduling, tooling and order mix decide the actual figure.
Size range: sand cores 0–1,500 mm (12 core shooters, 5 of them large);
gravity-cast aluminium parts 0–1,500 mm (25 gravity casting machines).
Unusual structures can be run on modified machines.

Finishing / Impregnation
Organic impregnation line: sealing porosity inside the casting
Used where parts must hold pressure or pass a leak test. Whether a part is impregnated, and after which operation, follows the drawing and the customer standard; it is not a fixed step for every casting.
Solidification leaves microscopic shrinkage porosity in a casting. On cylinder heads, intake manifolds and valve bodies, where leak-tightness matters, a visual or dimensional check cannot show whether pores are connected. Vacuum impregnation draws resin into those pores and cures it, closing the paths that could leak.
- 01 · VacuumParts go into the impregnation vessel; a vacuum draws air out of the pores.
- 02 · ResinWith the vacuum held, organic impregnant (resin) is admitted and enters the pores.
- 03 · WashSurface residue is washed off so it cannot affect later machining or appearance.
- 04 · CureHeat turns the resin solid, sealing the pores.
Impregnant grade, vacuum level, cure temperature and cycle time follow the supplier's process documents and the work instruction; values are held in the asset register, not estimated here.
Process chain / One line
From ingot to carton, one line
The two highlighted stages are the ones most aluminium casting shops subcontract. We do not. Injection moulding runs on a separate line; this page covers aluminium processes only.
Why it matters: casting, heat treatment and machining share one site. Tool changes, repairs, trials and first-off approval stay in-house; if a dimension or internal defect is disputed, we can go straight back to the heat, the mould and the machining parameters instead of chasing a subcontractor's records.
Inspection / Three checks
Three checks: chemistry, internal, dimensional
Inspection sits on the same site as casting and machining. Test items, sampling frequency and acceptance criteria are agreed at sample stage against the customer drawing and standard.
Melt chemistry
Every heat is sampled and checked on an optical emission spectrometer before pouring; a heat that fails the grade is isolated.
MAX LMD04 · Shanghai SpikeInternal defects
Key parts are X-ray inspected to the customer requirement for porosity, shrinkage and inclusions; results are recorded by lot.
XT7600 · YifangdaDimensions & GD&T
First-off, patrol and final checks run to drawing; critical bores, flatness and position are verified on a CMM.
