CAPABILITIES
Everything an end-to-end high-chrome white iron foundry should be
Mitak’s goal is to become the leading global supplier of engineered hard metal wear parts, most admired for its people, partnerships and performance. It is powered by a passionate team made up of more than 500 people who operate state of the art facilities in the following primary areas of manufacture:
Production Planning
Mitak’s production system is governed by a finite planning system. This allows the estimation of trustworthy delivery dates that customers are informed of soon after placing their order.
Engineering
Mitak has a highly skilled team of foundry and engineering experts who ensure each new part goes through a rigorous design and testing program to ensure it complies with the requirements of the customer’s drawing and the specification. Leading technology systems like Solid Works and Magmasoft are used extensively in this process to improve accuracy and shorten the development cycle.
Pattern-making
Mitak produces patterns in a wide range of materials that include timber, resin and aluminium. It continues to invest heavily in its pattern making equipment to ensure it remains at the forefront of rapid prototyping technology: It currently employs large, 5 axis CNC milling equipment capable of manufacturing patterns of 5 x 6 x 2m in size. Mitak has also added large format additive processes to its pattern making facility.
Moulding
Mitak offers complete versatility in its range of supply. It moulds and casts parts that weigh as little as 0.5kg and as much as 18 tons. This diversity of supply is made possible by having 10 different foundry moulding bays, each with its own equipment customised to manufacture a specific size and quantity of part. The moulding equipment ranges from high-volume semi-mechanised production to jobbing-type floor moulding with boxes up to 4.5m (15ft) in size.
Melting
Mitak operates six induction furnaces that range in size from 4 to 12 tons. The moulding bay where the heaviest castings are made utilises 40-ton cranes. The compositional accuracy of each melt is ensured via two optical emission spectrometers.
Heat treatment
12 heat treatment furnaces give Mitak the capability to heat-treat a wide range of components up to 5.2m (17ft) in diameter. Each furnace is equipped with temperature management systems and dedicated air-quenching capabilities.
Machining
Mitak’s machine shop has great versatility: it can handle the machining of large or small components and production or jobbing batch sizes. The largest machines are capable of turning up to 5.4m in diameter and 5 axis milling with a work area of up to 5 meters in length.
Mitak has customised many aspects of its machining plant to the features of the specialised parts made. An example of this is that each centrifugal pump impeller is rotationally balanced.
Quality control
The quality control team at Mitak comprises more than 40 people who are driven by the goal of zero customer rejects. With the backing of an entirely online quality management system, they perform in-process and final inspections on the thousands of parts supplied each month. They utilise hi-tech measuring equipment - including the latest laser scanning technology - to meet customers ever increasing demands for more accurate cast components. The end result is castings of the highest integrity.
Logistics
Mitak offers customers the peace of mind to package and ship their components to any destination on the planet. Mitak has agreements with many leading shipping lines and provides cost-effective transportation solutions on an LCL, FCL or airfreight basis.
