Duvha Foundry, based in the Chamdor industrial area of Krugersdorp, Gauteng has recently installed and commissioned a new Endeco Omega mixer in its sand department and a new shot blasting machine in its finishing department.

“The existing equipment that we had was old and did not meet our quality requirements. They served their purpose as we grew from small beginnings to a much bigger foundry that we are now. But there comes a time when you have to address the situation otherwise you are looking for trouble. This will apply to most departments in a foundry,” said Stanley Tshivhase, director and owner of Duvha Foundry.

“The most pressing areas that we had to look at was in our sand mixing department and our shot blasting.”

“We have installed a new Endeco Omega 20 ton an hour continuous mixer in our heavy bay department. The mixer has been supplied with a venting unit, as well as the touch screen fully programmable autoblend system and a 60 ton sand silo.”
