0:00	Michael, more and more machine and plant manufacturers need gearboxes, housings, planetary carriers or gearbox covers.
0:07	To what extent is the ZIMM Group the
0:10	right partner for this ?
0:11	Yes, over the years we have of course also learnt and realised
0:16	what is important to us in production and the manufacturing chain.
0:20	And our foundry is a key component of this.
0:24	This means that the majority of our
0:27	gearbox housings are made from cast iron
0:30	and we have the opportunity to
0:34	cast these components in our foundry and then
0:37	machine them accordingly.
0:39	In combination with our
0:42	machinery, which has grown over the years, we are not only able to supply these cast machined parts,
0:49	but also have the ability to
0:53	manufacture and supply customised turned and milled parts.

Modern machine and plant manufacturers rely on high-quality cast and machined components – from gearbox housings to covers. Learn how ZIMM meets these demands with its own in-house production.

Which mechanical engineering components are covered by ZIMM’s portfolio?

We manufacture, among others:

Gearbox housings
Planet carriers
Intermediate flanges
Gearbox covers
And much more

These components are specifically designed for use in machinery and plant construction.

What role does casting play in the production process?

A large proportion of our gearbox housings is made from castings. Our in-house foundry is an integral part of our production and manufacturing chain.

Why is ZIMM the right partner for casting solutions?

Thanks to our integrated production, we can respond flexibly to requirements regarding material, geometry, and machining – all handled directly in-house.
