Testing and modelling

VEEM’s foundry leverages advanced testing and modeling techniques to ensure the highest quality castings for a wide range of applications. Our NATA-accredited laboratory conducts chemical analysis, mechanical testing, and non-destructive testing to verify the integrity, strength, and durability of each casting. Using computer solidification modeling, we simulate the flow and cooling of molten metal within moulds, optimizing designs and predicting potential defects such as shrinkage or porosity before production begins.

Recycling

VEEM is committed to environmental sustainability through comprehensive metal recycling practices. Our CNC machining processes generate metal swarf, which we efficiently recycle by compressing it into briquettes. This method removes cutting fluids, enhancing furnace efficiency and reducing hydrocarbon emissions during remelting. Additionally, all metals used in testing undergo systematic recycling, ensuring minimal waste and conservation of resources. These initiatives align with our ISO 14001 Environmental Management System accreditation, reflecting our dedication to responsible manufacturing and ecological stewardship.
