The cast iron production process begins with our furnaces. Powered with electricity, oxygen and natural gas, they fire at up to 1,500°C and melt our raw materials down into a mix perfectly balanced for grey cast iron. Our moulding line produces green sand blocks using our fine sand grains, ensuring absolute precision in your cast iron product.

Best of all? This is the just the beginning. We have more highly-specialised equipment to make sure we can meet your needs. But supposing you need a piece we can’t provide? You can rely on us to outsource it to a reliable partner who upholds our standards. It’s all part of our commitment to getting you everything you’re looking for. Do you have any questions? Don’t hesitate to contact us.

The main ingredients in pattern plates? Accuracy and expertise. All the pattern plates, model plates and moulding plates designed and created at Dovre are made by our highly experienced specialists and your input. With digital technology and 3D design programs, you’ll be able to see your ideas translate onto the computer screen at the hands of our experts. Afterwards, our milling cutter machine will cut your aluminium pattern plates with ultimate precision. Alternatively, you can make the most of our extensive experience crafting polyurethane pattern plates and model plates for a more traditional approach.

For the high quality standards and pinpoint accuracy in your pattern plates, Dovre are just a call away. Turn your idea into a reality today. Contact us now to find out what we can do for you.

The benefit of our many years of experience is at your service. It’s supported by:

• 2 CNC milling machine
• 2 conventional milling machines
• 2 lathes
• 1 Hedelius C80 milling cutter

" Who’s the best person to transform your idea into reality? You. And there’s no reason you can’t do it. With guidance and support from our expert team, you’ll not just put your idea on paper, you’ll transform it into the perfect design.

If design doesn’t sound like your cup of tea? Or you would prefer to leave it to our experts? It’s no problem at all. You decide the extent to which you want to be involved. We happily guide you and support you as required and offer our insight to help you strengthen and enhance your original concept.

Your high-durability aluminium pattern plates are then cut on our ultra-modern Hedelius C80 milling cutter under the watchful eye of our experienced engineers. Would you like to know more? Or is it time to get your project started? Don’t hesitate to contact us! "

Would you like to add an extra touch of beauty with an enamel finish? Or do you want to add colour and shine to your cast iron? Look no further than our enamelling facilities. Like a good wine, our enamellists have improved their craftsmanship over time. With two application lines and two tunnel furnaces at your service, you can rely on high-quality enamelling and glaze coating. Thanks to our follow-up tests for tint and hue, uniform layer thickness, hardness and surface roughness, you can rest assured your enamel coating will be nothing but the best. Let’s agree on which colour best suits your design.

Technical tests

Your enamel is thoroughly tested for:

• Surface roughness.
• Layer thickness.
• Enamel hardness.
• Colour, with computer-based spectrometer testing.

Our highly-trained, experienced and reliable team know the ins and outs not just of the equipment in our foundry. They don’t just know what we are capable of as a foundry: they know exactly what can be accomplished with cast iron, and more importantly, they know how to accomplish it.

We always aim for the absolute highest quality. You are welcome and encouraged to take part in the engineering process with our guidance and supervision. Every decision you make is analysed and enhanced to produce a stronger, higher quality product before your pattern plates are made. And after casting? Your product is tested and examined for accuracy, metal quality, strength, durability, hardness and even smoothness. Because a product is not of high enough quality if it doesn’t meet the standards we demand.
