On Site Foundry
As the proud owners of Stalker Pumps, MTP Perth has had an on-site foundry for over 50 years. This makes us one of the last remaining pump suppliers in Australia with a foundry on site – giving us complete control of the end-to-end manufacturing process.
With an in-house foundry, we are able to offer our customers the huge advantage of comprehensive customisation and flexibility. We can produce high-quality castings based on customer-supplied patterns and with expertise spanning over 19 types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, we ensure versatility in our manufacturing capabilities.
Most importantly, having an on-site foundry means that MTP’s custom-made pumps can be delivered much faster than similar ones made offshore. Plus, with an experienced team of pumping specialists leading our foundry, and all aspects of its operations, we are a truly unique supplier.
Advanced, Fully Equipped Foundry Manufacturing Infrastructure Services Across Australia
Induction Furnaces
Our induction furnaces are a key piece of equipment in our foundry, with a capacity of up to 600kg, enabling us to work with a wide range of materials to meet your specific needs. We specialise in high-quality castings, including:
- Bronze:Up to 100kg
- Cast Iron: Up to 300kg
- Steel/Stainless Steel: Up to 600kg
Our foundry is equipped to deliver precision and quality across these materials, ensuring that your requirements are met with the highest standards
- Bronze: We can cast up to 100kg of bronze, a material renowned for its excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength, suitable for high-stress applications like sea water environments.
- Cast Iron: With the capability to cast up to 300kg, our cast iron products are known for their durability and wear resistance, making them ideal for demanding industrial applications.
- Steel/Stainless Steel: Our foundry can handle up to 600 kg of steel or stainless steel, perfect for creating high-tensile strength components that resist corrosion and cracking.
Additionally, we offer the following specialized materials:
- High Chrome Iron: Known for its exceptional wear resistance, perfect for demanding industrial applications.
- Austenitic Iron: Like High Chromium Iron, Austenitic Iron or NiResist is ideal for abrasive and corrosive applications.
- Cast Steel: When high tensile strength is required, cast steel is ideal. This material resists corrosion due to low carbon content, resists cracking due to its ductility, and is easily repairable on site.
- 300 Series Stainless Steel: Ideal for corrosion-resistant and high-strength components.
- Duplex Stainless Steel: Offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, combining the best properties of both ferritic and austenitic stainless steels.
- Phosphorus Bronze: Renowned for its excellent wear resistance and fatigue strength, suitable for high-stress applications, especially in sea water environments.
- Aluminum Bronze: Similar to Phosphorus Bronze, this material is used in sea water applications, particularly when the water is higher in temperature. The addition of aluminum also results in higher abrasion resistance.
Sand Mixers
We deliver superior manufacturing capabilities with our advanced Sand Mixers for high-quality molding. Our shotblasting facilities handle parts up to 2 meters in size, ensuring thorough cleaning and preparation. These processes are overseen by our highly experienced staff, who maintain stringent quality control measures throughout the production process.
