Allard-Europe makes castings from steel or white cast iron to your specifications. Tell us what mechanical properties, standards or contextual factors you require and we will work with you to find the right type of material.
In addition to the known standards, we have defined our own wear-resistant material series: Alladur™ and TGS.
From dredging to defense, these customers relied on our casting expertise. See what we realized for them.
The suction mouth of a dredger, often in combination with a cutting head, sucks up the loosened material (silt, sand, clay) from the water bottom. The suction mouth is the inlet of the hydraulic dredging system.
These castings are made of wear-resistant material because they are used in highly abrasive environments. We make these in 2 material types, cast iron (Alladur600) and cast steel (TGS7H).
Here you can see one we made for our client DEME.
The impeller of a dredge pump is the core component that pumps sediment and water by creating a centrifugal force.
At Allard-Europe, the impeller gets the precision and strength it deserves. These can be ones with straight blades or they are curved impellers designed to reduce turbulence, minimize energy losses and meet specific pressure or volume requirements.
These cap flanges come on top of the hydraulic percussion hammer to position it centrally, guide it and ensure optimal energy transfer for driving piles into the seabed.
This part has an important mechanical and structural function on offshore installations.
For our customer IQIP, we have produced several of them, made of stainless steel to resist corrosion.
A pump casing is the housing (the “body”) of a dredge pump, a specialized pump that sucks and pumps sediments such as sand, mud and gravel from waterways.
We produce pumps in various weights and materials, tailored to the specific requirements of your vessel. Our pumps combine robustness, reliability and efficiency so that your dredging operation is always running at full capacity. Rely on our casting for the heart of your dredger.
Allard-Europe cast a cutter head for Royal IHC.
Turning the cutter head into the ground is the first step in an efficient and effective dredging process. It all starts with digging.
What makes this order unique is that Allard-Europe cast this cutter head in one piece! Thanks to our clever engineers and experienced staff, we were able to complete this order to perfection.
