Heavy machinery, from towering construction cranes to agricultural tractors and commercial elevators, relies on a fundamental principle of physics to operate safely: perfect balance. To achieve this crucial stability and prevent catastrophic tipping or structural strain, industries depend on highly engineered counter weights.
At Aris Foundry, we understand that providing stability requires exact mass, high density, and uncompromising structural integrity. Operating out of Kolkata, West Bengal, our team brings over 35 years of foundry expertise to the global market, producing heavy-duty iron castings that keep industrial and agricultural machinery balanced and secure.
The Essential Role of Counter Weights
A counter weight serves a straightforward but vital purpose: it offsets an opposing mass to stabilize a mechanical system. Whether it is an elevator ascending a shaft, a forklift lifting heavy pallets, or an excavator digging into compacted earth, counter weights ensure that the center of gravity remains secure.
Without properly cast counter weights, equipment would be prone to tipping, excessive mechanical wear, and severe safety hazards for operators and nearby workers. Because these components must fit into specific, often compact, spatial envelopes on the machinery, they require materials with incredibly high density.
High-Density Casting at Aris Foundry
Manufacturing a component that provides maximum mass in minimal volume requires superior foundry capabilities. At our state-of-the-art 200,000 sq. ft. works in Baidyabati, India, we cast our counter weights using high-grade Grey Iron and Ductile Iron. Cast iron is the ideal material for these applications due to its cost-effectiveness, superior density, and formability.
Supported by our annual melting capacity of 12,000 MT and advanced molding lines, we consistently deliver flawless, custom-sized counter weights tailored to the specific weight and dimensional requirements of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) worldwide.
Rigorous Quality and Precision
Balancing heavy machinery cannot rely on guesswork. As a proudly ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, every batch of counter weights we produce undergoes exhaustive in-house testing to ensure exact weight tolerances and structural soundness. Our physical and chemical laboratories perform strict checks and utilize a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) to verify material integrity, ensuring total compliance with global ASTM and BS standards.
Simultaneously, we prioritize the environment, utilizing intensive sand handling and dust extraction systems to maintain green, sustainable manufacturing practices.
From West Bengal to Global Industries
Aris Foundry bridges the gap between Indian manufacturing excellence and global industrial needs. With an approved, self-sealing container loading facility right on our premises, we reliably export our premium counter weights to the USA, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.
For balancing components built with exact precision and endurance in mind, trust the experts.
