Proven Success.

PPF expands its casting capacity with HPI and Gautschi equipment.

Jiangsu Pacific Precision Forging Co., Ltd., headquartered in Jiangsu Province, China, is a leading company in the metal processing industry that specializes in precise hot forging techniques. Since its founding, the company has earned an excellent reputation through its commitment to the highest quality standards and innovative technological solutions.

Utilizing state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies and continuous investments in research and development, Jiangsu Pacific Precision Forging offers customized solutions for various industries, particularly those in the automotive and machinery sectors. The company places great emphasis on sustainability and efficiency to further strengthen its market leadership in precision forging technology, and is drawing on the expertise of HPI and Gautschi to do so.

Pacific Precision Forging is currently reinvesting in its production capacity. As the first phase in PPF’s expansion of its forging capacity, HPI and Gautschi supplied a comprehensive package for the design, engineering, manufacture, delivery, installation supervision, commissioning and testing of new equipment.

This original facility, Casting Line 1, included next-generation HPI type 3000 horizontal casting machines, two stationary rectangular melting furnaces with capacities of 20 t and one tilting rectangular casting furnace with a capacity of 23 t. All furnaces were equipped with the most advanced Gautschi burner technology, with a particular highlight being the Gautschi VAREGAENVICOM regenerative burners for the two melting furnaces.

The selection and design of the plant and equipment were carefully made to ensure excellent operability, quality, and reliability. All requirements for casthouse safety, explosion risk management, and advanced automation were considered.

Due to the great success of the first casting facility and PPF’s satisfaction with it, PPF has decided to order an identical facility that will be designated as Casting Line 2. Once again, HPI and Gautschi will use their extensive expertise and proven technologies to implement the new casting line.
