Basta locks in new equipment foundry upgrade

Basta Parsons new equipment foundry upgrade enable them to produce a superior quality casting on a consistent basis.

Basta, Wolverhampton manufacture of window and door fittings has been making news over the last few years with a number of acquisitions - first came Worcester Parsons in 1998, followed by the "Conqueror" business in 2001 and more recently the merger of the Shaw Product range into the product portfolio.

On the factory side, things have been happening too.

"We have one of the best zinc diecasting facilities, not only in Europe, but perhaps in the world", boasts Kevin Norton CEO of Basta.

"How can we claim this? We operate our machines faster and have less waste than most companies involved in casting".

"This was confirmed to us when we recently installed a fully automated Metal Delivery System in the foundry".

We then decided to take this upgrade further.

The next step involved us ordering a "state of the art" High Pressure Zinc Diecasting Machine complete with a Process Monitoring and Control System, Automatic Component Extraction, and an Air Cooled Conveyor System.

The introduction of this system will enable us to produce a superior quality casting on a consistent basis.

We have an active development programme and continue to design new products and processes in house.

We are also exploring new finishing technologies which will be an exciting alternative.

We await further news.
