25.01.2022 This December my wife, Sue, and I are headed over to Cambodia with Cosi and the Cows for Cambodia group as we help out some local families! Well be distributing rice, building a house, working on the charity farm, and generally doing what we can to give a little bit of good old Aussie charity to these deserving people, so get behind it guys, dig deep and click on the link below to donate to this very worthy cause! https://cowsforcambodia-gdg-j916n.raisely.com/philandsu...esto Sincerely, Phil Stoddart

25.01.2022 Another exciting addition for Castech! After a week of construction our new outdoor cover is finally complete -spanning between the main foundry and the fettling shed. This will allow us much more storage space and freeing up valuable room on the foundry floor.

25.01.2022 Wishing you all the best for Christmas and the New Year from everyone here at Castech.

24.01.2022 We would like to welcome Brad Walsh into his new position here at Castech. He will be joining our office team as our Quality Manager. Brad brings with him over 40 years experience in the foundry and metals industry with numerous successes and achievements throughout his career, most notably being his previous position as the National President of the Australian Foundry Institute (AFI).

You can reach Brad at [email protected] and we wish him all the best and success in his new position, and look forward to working with him.

24.01.2022 Castech is an honoured recipient of a nearly $250,000 grant to facilitate the improvement of foundry capabilities critical to the supply of castings to the Defence sector. Just a few of the upgrades to result from the grant include greater power supply with an upgraded transformer, new cyber security and computer systems, as well as the purchase of a new aluminium resistance furnace. Castech is now positioned to better service the industry through greater casting quality... and efficiency and look forward to new defence projects to come.

17.01.2022 In response to our increased workload, Castech has recently invested in a new, quality shot blasting unit. The twin-thrower rotating table shot blast machine increases our output of quality castings and allows for greater flexibility in final processing. The process is fast and efficient as small steel balls (shots) are accelerated through the rotating wheel system onto the casting for a clean finish free of sand or heat treatment scale.

17.01.2022 Castech is the proud finalist of Collins Submarine Enterprise Innovation Award for 2016. Awarded by ASC who commend our company for our ongoing contributions to the Collins Class Submarine Program.

17.01.2022 Enjoy this throwback to celebrate 30 years of Castech in Wingfield. The company began life as Cu-Base in 1947 in the Adelaide suburb of Woodville, operating in what was lovingly referred to as the old red shed. It took little time for the foundry to establish a reputation as a supplier of quality castings at a competitive price, a prestige that still persists to this day....

12.01.2022 Two high quality impellers poured in grade C92610 bronze have just left our foundry for delivery to our customer. Weighing in at 110Kg each after being fully machined, the result had our customer satisfied once again with our consistent high quality and short lead time.

12.01.2022 These castings are produced for quality and reliability in ductile cast iron, each weighing just over 20kgs.

11.01.2022 Earlier this year, supported by a grant given by the state government, Castech was able to purchase a core blower to support and enhance the foundry process. This allows for all cores, including the complex water jacket cores for CHI, to be blown quickly, efficiently and cost effectively whilst ensuring that the quality of all the castings is paramount.

10.01.2022 Castech is proudly supporting Managing Director Phil Stoddart in raising funds for local Cancer Support services through giving up alcohol this July. Show support and donate for a worthy cause.

07.01.2022 Last week we paid a visit to CHIs (Cylinder Head Innovations) Factory in Victoria, meeting with the director of CHI - Scott March. We always ensure the satisfaction of our customers and this visit allowed us to observe the final products of our castings (post-machining) as well as to discuss future endeavors of our recently established collaboration between Castech and CHI.

05.01.2022 Check out our semi-automatic band-saw in action! It allows for constant and continuous production with absolute cutting precision. The cutting tolerance is a tenth of a millimetre, ensuring the best finish for our castings. A special jig and cutting programme is made for each individual casting ensuring that the cut is made in precisely the same spot each time, and with hands-free operation and door-locks the machine operator is completely safe. The automatic band-saw takes all the hard work out, avoiding any loss of production due to fatigue of the operator.

02.01.2022 We recently shipped this 320 Kg Steel Casing casting to a customer, a very challenging job!
