Description of the Industrial Visit :

Industrial visit to Tushar Udyog [Export], D-80, Ambad MIDC, Nashik was organized for

the Second Year Mechanical Engineering Students. Total 95 Students and 05 Staffs

Members were present for the plant visit.

Mr. Tushar Patwardhan, Mnaging Director, Tushar Udyog [Export], permitted to visit

their industry by considering the academic importance and practical exposer to

students for Manufacturing Process-I Subject. As a part of academic, it is mandatory to

conduct industrial visit to a Casting plant according to S.E. Mechanical syllabus,

University of Pune.

Mr. Sandesh Shewale Sr. Engineer, Mr. Sanchet Kasar, Trainee Engineer, and Miss. Pooja

Awate, Trainee Engineer of Tushar Udyog guided our students during plant visit, they

had explained in detail the process flow, set up available with the foundary, technical

specification of the machines and use & applications of the resources.

In Tushar Udyog Aluminum casting are manufactured by Sand Casiting & Permanent

Die Casting Process. During Plant visit, Mr. Shewale had elaborated the different steps

involved in casting process, such as how to prepare sand mixture i.e. green mould sand,

how to prepare pattern, by using pattern how to make mould cavity in cope and drag,

what is the importance of Core Prints, core, Procedure in preparation of the core,

technical specification of the furnaces (oil and electric furnace), solidication time

calculations, after solidication how to remove casting from the mould, how to cut risers

and unwanted projections from the cast part, further processed involved, different

machining operations after casting processes, they have a very good set up of machine

shop also, they are having CNC Lathe, conventional Lathe, Drilling Machines and Milling

Machine for further Machining on Castings.

This industrial visit was a very successful and students will have definitely an added

advantage of practically observing the process. For the arranging this Industrial Visit

Prof. Pankaj Shirsath had taken the efforts.
