Dismantling, Packaging and Loading of a FRECH W 500 Die Casting Machine Including Automation
FISS dismantled a modern FRECH W 500 die casting machine manufactured in 2020, including the complete automation equipment, packaged all components safely for transport and organised loading for shipment to the customer in France.
Which die casting cell was dismantled for transport to France?
The project involved a modern FRECH W 500 die casting machine manufactured in 2020, including the associated automation and peripheral equipment.
Five specialised technicians dismantled the complete casting cell within one week. The main machine was then transported on a low-loader, while the attachments and automation units were transported to France on two additional trucks.
From production equipment to a transport-ready casting cell
Relocating an automated die casting cell requires precise coordination between dismantling, documentation, packaging, internal transport and loading.
In addition to the main machine, the furnace, charging system, spraying unit, robot, trimming press and conveyor equipment also had to be completely and professionally prepared.
Structured project process
The complete equipment scope and the required dismantling and logistics stages were coordinated before work began.
Five specialised technicians
The specialist team dismantled the main machine, automation and peripheral equipment within one week.
Direct delivery to France
All components were packaged, loaded and transported directly to the customer.
Which components were included in the FRECH W 500 casting cell?
The equipment consisted of the die casting machine as well as extensive furnace, charging, spraying, robot, trimming and conveyor technology.

Equipment assessment
The main machine, automation and peripheral equipment were recorded as the complete project scope.
Dismantling
Five specialised technicians professionally dismantled the casting cell within one week.
Packaging
The individual components were carefully protected against damage during transport.
Loading
The main machine and automation units were loaded onto suitable transport vehicles.
Transport
The complete equipment was delivered directly and on schedule to the customer in France.
How was the complete casting cell transported?
Different transport vehicles were used for the main machine, attachments and automation equipment.
Low-loader
The FRECH W 500 die casting machine was transported to the customer on a low-loader.
Additional trucks
Attachments and automation units were transported on two further trucks.
Dismantling time
The five-person specialist team completed dismantling of the casting cell within one week.
Why is the structured dismantling of a casting cell essential?
An automated casting cell consists of numerous mechanical, electrical and control-system interfaces.
Controlled disconnection protects the individual components and creates the conditions required for safe loading and subsequent reinstallation.
- Planned sequence of dismantling work
- Professional disconnection of mechanical connections
- Controlled disconnection of electrical interfaces
- Dismantling of the complete automation equipment
- Protection of sensitive equipment components
- Securing of moving assemblies
- Preparation for internal transport
- Coordination with the packaging and loading team
Transport protection for the main machine, robot and peripherals
Following dismantling, all components were carefully packaged to protect them against damage during loading and transport.
Securing heavy assemblies
Moving and load-bearing machine components were prepared for transport on the low-loader.
Protection of sensitive technology
The robot, control components and attachments were protected against mechanical stress.
Organised transport preparation
The furnace, charging system, spraying unit, press and conveyor equipment were prepared for the designated trucks.
What added value does the automated FRECH W 500 casting cell provide?
The coordinated combination of die casting machine, metal supply, spraying technology, robot and trimming press supports a continuous production process.
Automated material flow
Charging, robot handling and conveyor technology reduce manual transfer stages.
Repeatable processes
Coordinated automation supports consistent production cycles.
Integrated finishing
The Reis trimming press enables direct further processing of the cast components.
Reliable series production
The modern casting cell supports the long-term production of high-quality zinc die-cast components.
Professional organisation of all logistics processes
The main machine and its automation equipment had to be loaded in a coordinated sequence and transported to the same destination.
Structured organisation ensured that the equipment arrived at the customer on schedule and in proper condition.
- Coordination of the designated transport vehicles
- Separate planning for the main machine and peripherals
- Loading the machine onto a low-loader
- Distribution of attachments across two trucks
- Transport-safe securing of all components
- Coordinated departure of the transport vehicles
- Direct transport to the customer in France
- Safe and on-schedule delivery
