Sand casting facility to come up in Belagavi

Magellan Aerospace partners with Aequs to establish sand casting facility in Belagavi Aerospace Cluster, enhancing aerospace capabilities.

Magellan Aerospace Corporation on Thursday announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aequs Private Limited to explore the development of a business plan for setting up a 50/50 jointly-owned aerospace sand casting facility to come up in the Aerospace Cluster in Belagavi.

The proposed facility aims to meet sand casting demands in the growing aerospace industry.

This increased sand casting capacity will support both commercial and the defence sectors.

Currently, India has a limited number of aerospace-qualified NADCAP sand casting facilities.

This new venture aims to enhance sand casting capabilities in Southeast Asia.

Magellan is a centre of excellence for sand casting in North America, with an ability to cast complex geometries in the industry utilizing the chemically bonded sand process.

The North American facility has the expertise in utilizing innovative, leading technologies such as 3D sand printing, robotics, digital radiography and automated differential pressure bottom pouring.
