The casting process is the first stage in the technological chain of compressor production at Sanden. The SMP casting process breaks the common stereotype of a foundry. Here, order, cleanliness, quality, and professionalism prevail.

On six fully automated production lines, using the high-pressure aluminum die casting method, around six million parts are produced annually. A distinguishing feature of this casting technology is the extremely high speeds and pressures not seen in other casting methods. These speeds reach up to 100 m/s and pressures up to 150 MPa.

The machines and equipment used in the production of components in the Foundry Department are supplied by leading global manufacturers from Germany and Japan. Fully automated processes with 100% control of process parameters guarantee the excellent quality of the produced components.

The knowledge and experience of the department’s employees have enabled the implementation of such innovative technologies as “micro-spraying” and the “three-cavity mold.”
