Centrifugal casting is one of the largest casting branches in the casting industry, accounting for 15% of the total casting output of the world in terms of tonnage. The centrifugal casting technique uses the centrifugal force generated by a rotating cylindrical mold to throw molten metal against a mold wall to form the desired shape. Therefore, a centrifugal casting must be able to spin a mold, re

ceive molten metal, and let the metal solidify and cool in the mold in a carefully controlled manner. Centrifugal casting machines are categorized into three basic types based on the direction of the spinning axis: horizontal, vertical and inclined. There are also three types of centrifugal casting processes: True centrifugal casting, semi-centrifugal casting and centrifuge centrifugal casting.

If your current process consistently delivers the required quality, output, and cost, there may be no reason to change it.

But recurring defects, excessive machining, material loss, inconsistent results, or difficulty producing cylindrical parts can be reasons to evaluate another process.

For suitable applications, centrifugal casting can offer an effective way to produce repeatable cylindrical castings with good material density and efficient material use.

The decision should start with the part and the production problem — not with the machine.

CCMCO helps manufacturers evaluate whether centrifugal casting is the right process for their application, then provides the machinery and process support to put it into production.

Installing a centrifugal casting machine is only the beginning of its operating life.

Over time, wear components, replacement parts, and consumables become an important part of maintaining dependable machine performance and avoiding preventable interruptions.

CCMCO supplies replacement parts and consumables for our centrifugal casting machinery, helping customers keep their equipment operational and production moving.

A technically suitable part still needs a business case.

A component may be well suited to centrifugal casting from a process standpoint, but that does not automatically mean purchasing equipment is financially justified.

Production volume is an important part of the calculation because equipment costs are spread across the castings produced over the life of the machine.

But volume should not be evaluated alone.

Material yield, scrap rates, machining requirements, labor, current production costs, and recurring quality issues can all affect the economics of moving to centrifugal casting.

The real question is not simply whether a part can be centrifugally cast.
It is whether the process can provide a practical production advantage for that specific application.

CCMCO provides centrifugal casting machinery along with the process knowledge needed to evaluate that decision.

Every casting operation has a different bottleneck.

For some foundries, reducing setup time would make the biggest difference. For others, the priority may be more consistent castings, better operator training, or keeping equipment running reliably.

If you could improve just one area first, which would you choose?

A — Setup Time
B — Casting Consistency
C — Operator Training
D — Machine Uptime

The casting result is shaped before the metal fully solidifies.

In centrifugal casting, consistency depends on more than rotational speed. Mould condition, proper preheating, pouring temperature, and controlled cooling all influence how the metal flows and solidifies.

When these process variables are controlled, foundries can achieve more repeatable casting quality and reduce avoidable defects.

CCMCO provides more than centrifugal casting machinery. We help customers understand the process behind producing reliable castings.

Less machining may be possible. Zero machining should not be assumed.

Centrifugal casting can help improve material utilization and, in suitable applications, reduce the amount of excess material that must be removed during finishing.

But machining is still often part of the process.

Final dimensions, surface requirements, mating surfaces, bores, faces, and other features may still require machining. The appropriate machining allowance depends on the casting geometry, material, size, tolerances, and final application.

That is why machining allowance should be considered as part of the complete casting process—not treated as a single number that applies to every part.

At CCMCO, we help customers evaluate the part, process requirements, and machinery needed to produce repeatable castings.

Not every centrifugal casting application is best suited for a horizontal setup. The geometry should help decide.

CCMCO vertical centrifugal casting machines may be considered when the part geometry and process requirements are better suited to a vertical orientation.

Rings, bushings, sleeves, short cylindrical components, and parts with a larger diameter relative to their length are examples where a vertical setup may be considered.

Choosing between horizontal and vertical centrifugal casting should not start with the machine. It should start with the part you need to produce and its process requirements.

CCMCO provides both centrifugal casting machinery and process knowledge to help evaluate the appropriate approach for your application.

Rings, sleeves, bushings, pipes, and bearing shells can each present different casting requirements.

For foundry professionals, we’re curious: Which cylindrical part do you produce or evaluate most often in your operation?

Rings? Sleeves? Bushings? Pipes? Bearing shells?

The material affects more than the pour temperature.

When evaluating a part for centrifugal casting, material and alloy selection can influence several parts of the process—not simply how hot the metal needs to be.

Rotational speed, cooling, mold considerations, and other process parameters must be evaluated based on the material, part geometry, size, and casting requirements.

That is why CCMCO looks beyond the machine itself. We help customers evaluate the application and the centrifugal casting process required to produce consistent, high-quality cylindrical castings.

Considering centrifugal casting for a part you currently produce another way?
