It’s pneumatic which it’s easier to buy a ready made warrantied unit .
The press head will be made in house.
I could make the pneumatic but I don’t think volumes would warrant development

But not so good for the casting gear due to the extra heat, we would only cast SG on a Friday so the kit could be serviced/repaired on Saturday morning.

Same induction furnace can only heat half the weight charge of grey iron

Had weights back from foundry
Arms are 130kg each and base is 150kg so should absorb vibrations
