 What is Casting?
 Casting is a manufacturing
process in which a liquid
material is usually poured
into a mold, which contains
a hollow cavity of the
desired shape, and then
allowed to solidify,the
solidified part is known as a
casting.

 CASING
 The pump casing refers to the
outside shell of the pump. It
has to seal off the inside of
the unit to the outside with
respect to pressure and
fluids. The structure of the
casing differs depending on
the type of pump.
 MANUFACTURING PROCESSES OF PUMP CASING
THROUGH CASTING

 Pump casing manufacturing through casting is a popular

method in the industry due to its cost-effectiveness and
ability to produce complex shapes.The following are the
steps involved in pump casing manufacturing through
casting:
 Pattern making: A pattern is a
replica of the final product. The
pattern is made by a skilled
worker, and it must be accurate
and of the same size as the final
product.
 Mold making: The pattern is then
used to make a mold, a special
type of sand called casting sand is
prepared. This sand is mixed with
a binder and compacted around
the pattern to create the mold
cavity. The mold is made in two
halves, a cope and drag. The
cope is the top half of the mold,
and the drag is the bottom half.
 Melting and pouring: The metal is melted
in a furnace and then poured into the mold.
The molten metal is poured from a ladle into
a sprue, which is a funnel-shaped channel
that leads to the mold cavity.
 Cooling and solidification: The metal in
the mold cools and solidifies, taking on the
shape of the mold. This process is called
solidification, and it may take a few
minutes or several hours, depending on
the size of the casting.
 Shakeout: After the casting
has cooled, the mold is broken
open, and the casting is
removed. This process is
called shakeout, and it may be
done by hand or by using a
mechanical vibrator.
 Finishing: The casting is then cleaned up
by removing any excess material or rough
edges. This may be done by grinding,
sandblasting, polishing, or painting to
achieve the desired final shape and
appearance.
