What This Part Is And Why It Is Made This Way
Heavy cast consumables are easy to damage and awkward to handle, so the packing decides how much of a shipment is usable on arrival and how quickly it can be moved on site. Packing is specified with the part, not chosen at the last minute.
Bars are packed into crates suited to their weight and quantity, with documents issued together with the goods.
What You Get From This Route
Crates matched to part weight so pallets can be moved with site equipment.
Quality documents travel with the goods rather than arriving later.
Export shipment arranged under agreed trade terms.
Application Scenarios
- Sea freight consumable shipments
- Consolidated spare part deliveries
- Shutdown deliveries timed to site schedules
- Multi destination distribution
Who It Is For
- Buyers importing heavy consumables by sea
- Site teams handling crates without a crane
- Purchasing departments that need documents at customs clearance
Technical Features
- Crates and pallets matched to part weight
- Quality and shipping documents issued with the goods
- Export shipment under agreed international trade terms
- Reliable and economical logistics routing
What Buyers Run Into Without This Specification
- Crates are too heavy for the site forklift and have to be broken down outside.
- Parts shift in transit and machined faces are damaged.
- Documents arrive after the container and clearance is delayed.
Published Material Weight And Process Data
Figures below are the published capability for high alloy parts. Part specific values — tolerance on individual features, finish, packing — are confirmed at drawing review and marked TBC until then.
| Food Machinery Material | 1.4308 / 1.4309 / 1.4340 |
|---|---|
| Food Machinery Weight | 9 kg - 800 kg |
| Grate Bar Material | 1.4777 / 1.4776 / 1.4823 / 1.4743 / LH26 / EN-GJL-200 + 3%Cr |
| Grate Bar Weight | Typical products 2 kg - 50 kg; some grate bars and liners around 10 kg - 50 kg |
| Biomass Material | 1.4777 / 1.4776 / 1.4823 / 1.4855 |
| Working Temperature | Typical maximum around 1050 °C - 1150 °C depending on material and duty |
| Process | Shell moulding, lost wax and lost foam casting, plus CNC machining |
| Tolerance | Shell moulding normally CT9-10; lost wax normally CT8; surface roughness about Ra 12.5 |
| Part Specific Tolerance | TBC — confirmed against the customer drawing |
| Minimum Order Quantity | TBC — depends on the process route selected |
| Lead Time | TBC — confirmed with the production base at quotation |
How The Part Is Made And Checked
- Inspection — Dimensions, flatness, assembly clearance, 3D scanning, RT, PT, hardness, chemical composition and tensile testing.
- Material Control — Chemical analysis on each melt, sampling from the product body and third party testing for special elements.
- Heat Treatment — Rotors are annealed to 20-35 HRC before machining, then quenched at about 1020 °C to 59-63 HRC.
Quality management is based on ISO 9001 and covers supplier management, raw material inspection, production process control and final inspection. Inspection results are archived and traceable.
Options And Alternatives
Parts are produced to the customer drawing rather than to a fixed catalogue item, so material grade, machining scope, surface treatment and packing are all specified per order. Machining, dimensional control, surface treatment and necessary pre-assembly can be added to the same supply route.
Where another process family would suit the part better — for example a forging in place of a casting for a shock loaded connector — that comparison is raised during drawing review rather than after tooling is committed.
How To Specify This Part
Tell us the lifting equipment available at the destination before packing is planned. A crate that suits the factory is not always a crate that suits the site, and the maximum handled weight is the cheapest constraint to design around.
- Send the drawing with material, quantity, quality standard and target delivery date.
- State the inspection class and the zones it applies to, rather than a general note.
- Confirm the packing requirement and the lifting equipment available at the destination.

Which trade terms do you work under?
Shipments are arranged under agreed international trade terms, confirmed during the project as part of the logistics and delivery stage.
Are quality documents sent with the shipment?
Yes. Final inspection and delivery documents are part of the quality management route and are issued together with the goods.
What do you need to prepare a quotation?
Drawings, material, quantity, quality standard and target delivery date.
Which inspection is included?
The inspection scope is agreed during drawing review. Rotors are annealed to 20-35 HRC before machining, then quenched at about 1020 °C to 59-63 HRC.
