Professional Dismantling, Loading and Transport of a Used Frech GDK 4100-185 S Die Casting Machine to Germany
FISS coordinated the professional dismantling, secure loading and international relocation of a used Frech GDK 4100-185 S die casting machine from Korea to Germany. The complete system, including its automation equipment, had a total weight of approximately 285 tonnes.
Which die casting machine was transported from Korea to Germany?
The project involved a used Frech GDK 4100-185 S die casting machine, including its automation and peripheral equipment. The system package included a Wollin PSM 4 F die spraying machine and an ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus robot.
The complete system weighed approximately 285 tonnes. Five specialists dismantled the equipment within three weeks and prepared all machine components for container, heavy-load and sea transport.
Complex die casting equipment with demanding heavy-load requirements
Large die casting machines consist of massive machine assemblies, sensitive control technology, hydraulic systems and coordinated automation equipment.
For a safe relocation, all components must be recorded systematically, disconnected in a controlled manner, clearly labelled and prepared securely for transport.
285-tonne complete system
The high total weight required detailed planning of lifting equipment, load handling, transport routes and loading areas.
Sensitive peripheral equipment
The die spraying machine and foundry robot had to be secured separately and protected against mechanical damage.
Intercontinental transport
The relocation from Korea to Germany required coordination between dismantling, heavy-load logistics, container transport and sea freight.
Which components were included with the Frech GDK 4100-185 S?
In addition to the main machine, the project included automated peripheral equipment for die spraying and material handling.
Frech GDK 4100-185 S
The large die casting machine was the heaviest and most logistically demanding part of the complete equipment package.
- Massive machine assemblies
- Hydraulic and electrical systems
- High demands on lifting and transport technology
- Structured dismantling for sea transport
Wollin PSM 4 F
The die spraying machine was integrated into the automated production process and was disconnected from the die casting cell in a controlled manner.
- Automated die spraying process
- Electrical and media interfaces
- Separate labelling of connections
- Transport-safe packaging
ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus
The foundry robot was part of the automated material handling process and required special protection during transport.
- Industrial component handling
- Coordinated robot interfaces
- Protection of sensitive axes and cables
- Separate transport securing
From dismantling in Korea to delivery in Germany
All project phases were coordinated so that heavy machine assemblies and sensitive automation equipment could be moved safely from the production site to the recipient in Germany.
Project planning
Equipment scope, weights, lifting points, dismantling sequence and transport routes were coordinated before work began.
Dismantling
Five specialists dismantled the system into transportable assemblies within three weeks.
Loading
The components were loaded into special containers and onto heavy-load transport vehicles and secured professionally.
Sea transport
The machine assemblies were transported to Germany by sea, with Bremerhaven and Hamburg forming part of the logistics chain.
Onward transport
After arrival at the port, safe onward transport to the customer's site was organised.
Why did the dismantling process take three weeks?
With equipment of this size, it is not sufficient to simply separate individual machine assemblies. Every step must take the subsequent loading, transport and reassembly into account.
The five-person specialist team dismantled the machine and automation equipment systematically, documented connections and prepared the components for transport.
- Safe dismantling sequence
- Disconnection of electrical and hydraulic systems
- Labelling of cables and lines
- Protection of sensitive control components
- Preparation of suitable lifting points
- Controlled dismantling of heavy assemblies
- Transport-safe preparation
- Coordination with logistics partners
How was the 285-tonne system prepared for transport?
Depending on their dimensions, weight and sensitivity, the dismantled assemblies were loaded into special containers or onto suitable heavy-load transport vehicles.
Suitable lifting equipment and slings
Heavy machine components require defined lifting points, adequately dimensioned lifting equipment and controlled load distribution.
Protection against movement and damage
All components were secured to withstand the stresses of road and sea transport.
Suitable allocation of assemblies
Dimensions and weights determined which components were transported in containers and which required heavy-load solutions.
Clear component allocation
Structured labelling simplified inspection on arrival and supported the later reassembly process.
