    Another mile stone in concast bar production

    News

    United Cast Bar have again taken the lead in the manufacture of large section continuously cast iron, increasing our already large portfolio of sizes. During July, UCB has successfully produced over 180 tonne of 700mm dia (27.6” diam) in both flake and nodular grades, yet another world record, with much of it sold on pre orders. 

    James Brand, our Managing Director of the United Cast Bar (UK) facility said, “This production run marks the culmination of many years hard work in design of equipment and process flow. It supports and expands the already broad product portfolio, opening up yet more doors for our sales people.”

    Along with the large diameter, UCB (UK) have also produced a second run of the largest rectangle in July, the 750mm x 550mm, due to selling all previously produced stock very quickly.

    Our Group Managing Director, Alessandro Rottach has praised the UK operation for the development and added “United Cast Bar’s balance of efficiency, flexibility coupled with our broadest product offering for the market from both our UK and Spanish operations, make UCB an invincible force in the continuous cast iron market”.

    United Cast Bar (UK) are the only company in their global market place to attempt this scale of production. The bar will be used in many industrial applications, particularly hydraulic and fluid power.

    Material is available in the as cast / raw condition or can be lathe turned to meet your specific demands.
