Local manufacturer breaks another world record
United Cast Bar has once again taken the lead in the manufacturing industry by increasing its already large portfolio of sizes.
On Wednesday 3rd December the Chesterfield-based firm broke yet another world record by successfully producing a 680mm diameter bar using the continous casting method. Much of the bar, which weighs more than 150 tonne, has already been preordered.
James Brand, Managing Director of the United Cast Bar (UK) facility said,
“Once again we have continued to push the boundaries of achievement and what is capable within continuous cast iron bar production. The team has worked very hard, making great quality bar with incredible dimensional control and quality. We are very proud of this ground breaking achievement.”
United Cast Bar (UK) is the only company in its global market place to attempt this scale of production. The bar will be used in many industrial applications, particularly hydraulic and fluid power.
A European producer of continuously cast iron bar, the firm has production sites in the UK and Spain, a wholly-owned distribution network across Europe and a site in South Korea.
