Iranian Firm Increases Quality of Casting Industry

“Our company's main field of activity is the design and production of various types of fluxes, coatings, and feeds ready for casting,” Mehdi Eraqi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.

“After carefully examining the market, we found that the Iranian casting industry is in dire need of high-quality domestic products to both reduce costs and improve the quality of final parts. Therefore, we focused specifically on producing products that are directly effective in improving quality, reducing waste, and increasing the productivity of casting production lines,” he added.

One of our most important achievements is knowledge-based products and they are a new generation of water-based coatings used in cast iron casting. Using this product improves the final quality of the part, reduces raw material consumption and increases production efficiency,” Eraqi said.

Noting that compared to foreign models, this product is more competitive in terms of price and is at the same level or even better in terms of performance in some cases, he said, “There is also a similar domestic model, but the main advantage of our product is in its proprietary formulation, variety of dimensions and shapes and after-sales technical support, which makes domestic manufacturers independent of foreign ones.”

In a relevant development in February, Iranian researchers at a knowledge-based company developed new innovative casting methods to indigenize equipment for different industries.

“The company’s main field of activity is the use of modern casting methods,” Mehdi Sadeqi, a board member of the knowledge-based ‘Vira’ company, told ANA.

He referred to the advanced casting methods, including the Lawson method, and said, “These modern methods can have better efficiency than traditional methods. The use of these technologies mechanizes the production process, which reduces the need for human labor and increases the quality of products. Also, waste is significantly reduced.”

“One of the great advantages of these modern methods is the mechanization of the process, which directly increases productivity and reduces costs. Also, these methods produce less waste, and for this reason, the final quality of the products is higher,” Sadeqi said.
