Centracast
Westside Engineering Limited
established over 25 years ago has undertaken numerous
specialisation works in engineering and non-ferrous
foundry cast components.
The
company has engineered special purpose machines to
suit customers' requirements to their utmost

Lathe to prepare Aluminium wheel blank castings ready
for CNC turning, using state of the art technology,
portable kit set cup wheel Surface Grinder for 3.6 x
.75 meters bearing sole plates to a surface tolerance
of 0.04 mm/.03 mm per lineal ft; Special Purpose
Machine to grind; weld and paint joints inside 40km of
300mm pipeline with +0.25 mm tolerance, to name a few.
In
an effort to obtain better quality castings with thin
sections, the company embarked into research and
development in the area of centrifugal casting of
permanent moulds. After several years of developmental
works and field trials, the company has a proven
process of obtaining high quality cast components of
thinner sections with excellent surface finish and
sharp details at economical tooling cost. This,
coupled with the advantage of suitability for
both
short and long run production, makes the process of
centrifuging the permanent mould a very successful and
economic alternative to pressure die casting.
