In 1985, Equipe broadened its industrial capacity and implemented the Foundry Division, in order to fulfill the demand of Cast Iron and Bronze products. It currently uses high-capacity induction ovens and it is ready to supply alloy materials in Austenitic and Martensitic Stainless Steels, Duplex and Super Duplex, WCB-type Carbon Steel and special alloys, with or without specific heat treatments.

• Manufacturing capacity: 600 t/year for cast components;
• Induction ovens with 300-kW electrical panels;
• Melting pots: 300, 600 and 850 kg;
• Cold-cured continuous sand mixer 6 t/h;
• Cold-cured continuous sand mixer 12 t/h;
• Chemical and metallurgical testing laboratory, according to ANSI or DIN standards;
• Part tracking system, with cast sequential number (barcode);
• Optical spectrometer: analysis on the chemical composition of ferrous materials.
