Traditional Tin Casting
It all starts right here… The melting pot is heated to around 270 degrees to enable the metal to melt. A vulcanised rubber mould is then placed inside the machine, which is then switched on, and set to spin between 400-700 RPM, depending on the size of the mould and castings. The melted metal is then ladled into the moulds via a small opening in the centre of the machine lid. The casting machine then spins rapidly for around 45 seconds before it comes to a halt. Then after a few moments, using a (gloved!) hand, the mould can be removed from the machine and opened. Inside are the solid castings, ready for the next stage of the journey
Polishing
We use a number of polishing methods, depending on the size and use of the item in question. An intial fettle to clean up any edges will take place using a belt linisher. Next, a scotchbrite wheel with a course abrasive compound removes any lingering casting residue and results in a uniform surface with a satin finish. Finally, to obtain a stunningly high shine, we use a polishing compound with an open stitch swansdown mop. Once the last machine polish has taken place, every piece receives a hand polish using a blue silver cloth to remove any polishing compound and to check for faults or imperfections.
