Our Valve Castings Component Manufacturing Process
At Vimax, our valve castings are produced in a state-of-the-art facility, where precision and quality control are integrated throughout the manufacturing process.
Wax design
Injecting wax into engineered moulds to form the wax patterns. Each component is aligned carefully and attached to a sprue to form the wax pattern tree.
Shell formation
Dipping the wax pattern tree into the hot pot, followed by a stucco coating in the rainfall sanders. This coating-drying-coating-drying process is repeated up to eight times to create a strong ceramic shell.
Shell heating
Placing the ceramic shells in an autoclave, where hot steam quickly liquefies the wax, leaving behind a perfect negative impression. The shell is then placed in a pre-heated furnace to remove residual moisture and leftover wax.
Pouring
Introducing the molten alloy into the ceramic shell. The molten metal occupies the negative space and gradually cools down to form valve components. Our gate design and pouring mechanism ensure minimal hot corners.
Knocking & Fettling
Breaking the shells to extract the cooled components. Sawing off the parts from the sprue, grinding down the gate stubs, and sandblasting or solution treating any residual ceramic.
Heat treatment
Putting the components in induction furnaces to heat them, followed by air cooling. This redistributes grains and improves physical properties.
Machining
Improving tolerances using HMCs and VMCs. Milling, reaming, and drilling all mating surfaces and critical surfaces to ensure excellent performance.
Final Inspection
X-ray, Spectrometric analysis, Dye-penetrant testing; impact, hardness, toughness, and other metallurgical and dimensional checks to ensure product integrity and quality assurance.

- Chemicals & Petroleum: Corrosion-resistant valve bodies are instrumental in handling acids, solvents, and hydrocarbons across reactors and storage systems.
- Paper & Pulp: Knife gate valve components help handle demanding pulp slurry, black liquor, and other liquid process discharges.
- Wastewater: Gate and knife gate valve components help control the flow of viscous sludge and dissolved media, enabling localized wastewater treatment.
- Energy: Routinely used to control the flow of water, steam, and coolants in thermal, solar, and hydroelectric plants.
- Railways: Valves are used in loco sheds, along maintenance lines, and in locomotives for cleaning and coolant circulation.
FAQs
Do you manufacture all types of valve casting components?
We only produce castings that can be manufactured via investment casting. These are usually complex parts or seamless components, for which billet machining is not economically feasible.
Do you cast all types of alloys and materials?
We pour all major alloys and materials that are conducive to investment casting. This includes staples such as stainless steel and uncommon superalloys.
Can you pour with custom alloys?
As experienced investment casting manufacturers, we can pour your proprietary alloy. We have IP protection mechanisms in place to ensure your composition remains yours, well after the project finishes.
What lead times do you offer?
The standard lead time for a casting project is between 25 and 40 days for the first dispatch. Subsequent dispatches take less time, subject to conditions.
Do you export valve casting components to other countries?
We export worldwide. To learn whether we ship to a port of your choosing, please get in touch with us.
