Centrifugal casting machines from Düker – over 500 years of experience in iron casting
The name Düker has stood for top quality iron cas-
ting for more than 500 years. Today we are one of
the leading manufacturers of fittings, pressure
pipe fittings for drinking water and gas supplies
and of pipes and fittings for drainage technology.
We also manufacture highly resistant enamelled
components and pipes for the chemical and pharmaceutical
industries. Another production field of
our business is job castings where we act as a contract
manufacturer for parts for the printing, automotive
and mechanical engineering industries.

Planning
Düker Engineering – worldwide service
With this background of immense experience, we also plan and build complete
centrifugal casting plants, cokeless cupola furnaces and
control systems for manufacturing business all over the world.
No two of these designs are the same up to now. Every project
is individual and depends on the site conditions and the specific
requirements of the customer. Since we have also been using
our machines for many years for our own production operation,
our customers have a unique range of expertise at their disposal,
which is constantly being updated and extended.
Implementation/
Design
We thereby offer our customers worldwide a convenient and
customized all-round service which is virtually unique – from
the design, planning and construction to assembly, commissioning
and training your personnel – you receive everything from
a single source.

A comparison of centrifugal casting
Rotation symmetrical bodies, such as pipes, cylindrical sleeves, bearing cages
or bushes, are currently almost exclusively manufactured using centrifugal
casting. A distinction is made between two processes:
Hot mould process
• Preheated and spray-coated moulds
• No energy-intensive final annealing
• Long service life of the mould
De Lavaud process
• Untreated, water-cooled mould
• Primarily used for the mass production of pressure pipes
We design centrifugal casting machines which use both processes.
Depending on the product and quantity involved you can choose between a
wide range of machine concept, from manual mode to a fully automatic
complete system.
Certified quality
We received certification to DIN EN ISO 9001
way back in 1993. Since then our quality management
system has been updated and improved
on an on-going basis by means of regular inspections
and also internal and external audits.

We need very few details for planning your system
– simply tell us what products you wish to produce
and in what quantities and the design of any exis-
ting equipment. We will then design the ideal cen-
trifugal casting system for your needs.
Wide range of system types
• Single-station machines for small production
rates and special applications with just one
mould. This machine is flexible enough for a wide
range of products.
• Multi-station machines for mass production
with high quantities per hour. Several moulds
are used in parallel.
• Flange machines (both vertical and horizontal)
for large diameters of up to 3,000 mm with short
product lengths.

Modernisation
The installation of a completely new system is
not always the best solution for the needs of the
customer. Therefore we can also modernise
existing systems – regardless of their location.
Modernisation is also a good solution if the
existing system only has to be improved, auto-
mated and fitted with a modern control and
measuring system to meet changed requirements.
It makes no difference to us whether
the existing system was supplied by us or by
another manufacturer.

Centrifugal casting machines – from manual to fully automatic … and everything in between
Manual machines offer high flexibility and quick
change of machine set-up for different products.
Highly automated systems provide maximum
precision and perfect processes for mass produc-
tion. That reduces waste, increases availability and
extends the service life of the machines and also
guarantees uniform high quality.
Each system can be fitted with a process visua-
lisation system and a link to a database-based
process control system.
We are the global leader in this area and unique in
the range of services we offer.

Machine type B80 for cylinder liners
Machine type B90 for cylinder liners
After we have carefully planned, designed and produced your machine, it will
be pre-installed at our plant in Karlstadt, Germany. At the same time our in-
ternal specialists develop your individual machine control system which
complies with all the relevant standards and is also suitable for remote
maintenance.
We also offer practical training courses to make your personnel familiar
with the function and the control of our centrifugal casting machine and their
controllers. This transfer of expertise means that production can be started
immediately after the assembly work and commissioning procedure have been
6 7
completed.
Convincing data
Depending on the system type, the following
dimensions and quantities can be produced:
Pipe dimensions:
External diameter: from 30 mm to 3,000 mm
Internal diameter: from 18 mm to 2,800 mm
Pipe lengths: from 500 mm to 6,000 mm
Production capacities extend up to 250 pipes
or sleeves per hours – depending on the wall
thickness and setting time.
Training and maintenance
Naturally we are also available for you after the
commissioning procedure for your new or moder-
nised centrifugal casting machines. For example
we can provide training courses and advan-
ced training for your personnel, keep your sys-
tem working correctly with regular service and
maintenance work and also keep you up to date
with possible modernisation options.
