Noyería
Multi-capacity core shooters.
Finishes
Multiple finishing processes adapted to different types of parts, aimed at guaranteeing the highest quality at the lowest possible cost.
Painting
Internal powder and dip painting facilities, as well as subcontracting management of any other type of protection or final finishing of the products.
MATERIALS
Nodular and gray cast iron
In Funosa we manufacture parts for all types of sectors in high quality nodular and gray iron. These materials offer strength, reliability and versatility, key aspects for demanding industries.
Nodular iron, strength and ductility
Nodular iron is characterized by its excellent mechanical strength and ductility. It is ideal for components that support dynamic loads, such as automotive, railway and construction machinery parts.
Nodular iron is also called ductile cast iron, spheroidal graphite cast iron or nodular cast iron.

Gray iron, versatility and economy
Gray iron offers high vibration damping capacity and excellent machinability, which makes it the ideal choice for different key sectors such as civil engineering, valves, or elevators.
Gray iron parts are also used in combustion engines and clutch plates due to their high heat dissipation capacity (DEUTZ – RAICAM).
Gray iron capacities
- Heat dissipation.
- Vibration damping
- Machinability
