Material and Process
Aluminium alloys are mainly processed using the cold chamber process. The hot chamber process is often suitable for zinc and certain magnesium applications.

Choosing the Right Machine
In addition to manufacturer and year of manufacture, the most important factors are material, clamping force, casting weight, die dimensions and the available automation.
Aluminium alloys are mainly processed using the cold chamber process. The hot chamber process is often suitable for zinc and certain magnesium applications.
The required clamping force must match the projected component area, casting pressure and the dimensions of the existing die.
Dosing, spraying, extraction, temperature control and trimming determine the level of automation and the later cycle time of the casting cell.
Control system, hydraulics, injection unit, operating hours, maintenance and scope of supply should be technically inspected before purchase.
Cold Chamber Process
In the cold chamber process, the melting furnace and injection unit are physically separated. The molten metal is introduced manually or by a dosing system into the shot chamber and is then injected into the die under high pressure.
The process is particularly suitable for aluminium alloys and other materials whose high melting temperature does not allow an injection unit to remain permanently immersed in the molten metal.

In the hot chamber process, the injection unit is directly connected to the molten metal bath. During the machine cycle, the metal enters the injection system directly and is then injected into the die.
The compact design enables short production cycles and is particularly suitable for zinc, tin and certain magnesium alloys.
