Build to Drawing

Send the drawing. We will match it.

This is the whole of our offer, stated plainly: you define the liner on your drawing, we cast to it, and we give you the documents to prove the casting matches.

LHCLQM® MILL LINERSBUILD TO DRAWINGMADE TO YOUR SPECIFICATION
Why

What changes when the drawing is yours

LHCLQM® MILL LINERSYOUR DRAWINGYOU HOLD THE SPECIFICATION

You keep control of the specification

The liner is defined by your drawing, not by a supplier catalogue or a proprietary standard. You own the design; we own the execution.

Manufacturing precision is the product

Everything in our plant is organised around one question: does this casting match the drawing it was ordered from?

Ø ID / ODQM® MILL LINERSINTERCHANGEABLEREPLACES WHAT YOU HAVE

Replacement without redesign

Because we cast to your drawing rather than to our own pattern library, the liner drops into the position it was made for.

Process

Four steps, no ambiguity about who does what

01

Submit your drawing or worn sample

Use the quote form to upload DWG, PDF or STEP files — several files per enquiry are fine. If you only have a worn liner, send it to us, or send photographs with key measurements.

STEP 1 · YOU
02

Technical review and quotation

We examine the drawing for castability, confirm the material grade, check pattern availability, and come back with a firm quotation and a written lead time. If something in the drawing needs clarification, we ask before quoting rather than after.

STEP 2 · US — WITHIN 24 HOURS
03

Pattern, casting and heat treatment

Patterns are made with the correct shrinkage allowance for the grade. Metal is melted, verified by spectrometer, poured, and heat treated with a recorded cycle. Samples and progress photographs are available during production.

STEP 3 · 20–40 DAYS
04

Inspection, documentation and shipment

Finished liners are measured against your drawing. The inspection report, chemistry and hardness records travel with the order. We ship FOB or CIF, crated and blocked for ocean freight, with loading photographs before the container is sealed.

STEP 4 · BEFORE DISPATCH

What to send

A short checklist before you write to us

Required — we cannot quote without these

  • Drawing: DWG, PDF or STEP (2D or 3D both work)
  • Part name or position in the mill
  • Quantity required
  • Material grade and hardness, if already specified
  • Bolt hole size and pattern, if not shown clearly on the drawing

Helpful — improves the quotation

  • Mill make, model and diameter
  • Wear life you currently get from the part (hours or tonnes)
  • How the present liner fails — cracking, thin wear, breakage
  • Whether you need a full set or part set
  • Delivery port and required Incoterms
  • Any restriction on single piece weight for handling
Tolerances

The standards behind the castings

We would rather state the standards up front than have a tolerance argument after delivery.

Reverse engineering

Working from a worn part

No drawing? We can work from the worn part

Plenty of mills are running equipment where the drawings disappeared years ago. You do not have to reverse engineer it yourself.

01

Send the worn liner or a measurement set

A physical sample is best. If shipping is impractical, photographs plus the key dimensions listed in our checklist are usually enough to work from.

02

We produce a drawing for your approval

Dimensions are derived from the sample, adjusted for the wear you have already lost so the new casting matches the original section. The drawing is yours to approve — nothing is cast until you do.

03

We cast to the approved drawing

From that point the job is a standard build-to-drawing order, with the same inspection documentation.

We manufacture to drawing. Where a drawing does not exist, we can measure a sample and produce one for your approval, and we will flag any manufacturing issue we find. Section design and profile selection stay your decision — that is exactly what keeps the specification under your control.

FAQ

Before you send the first drawing

What if my drawing is in inches, not millimetres?

Send it as it is. We work in both systems and will quote to your drawing units — you do not need to redraw anything.

Can you sign an NDA before I send the drawing?

Yes, and we would prefer to. Send us your NDA or ask for ours, and we will return a signed copy before any file is exchanged.

Do you charge for quotation or drawing review?

No. Reviewing your drawing and quoting is free and carries no obligation. Pattern cost is quoted separately and only charged if you place the order.

How do I know the casting really matches the drawing?

You receive a dimensional inspection report with the order, tied to the heat number marked on each casting. If you want to verify independently, you are welcome to arrange third-party inspection before shipment.

Can I order a single liner as a trial before committing to a full set?

Yes. A trial piece is a reasonable way to test both our casting quality and our documentation. The only consideration is pattern cost on a small quantity.
