Pressure die-casting is mostly used when it is necessary to include special geometries for joints, integrated spacers, handles and details for assembling, sophisticated containers, heat sinks with circular fins.
Die-cast products can be finished with:
- Polishing;
- Painting;
- Anodization;
- Chromate treatment (transparent and gold).
As for prototypes and/or little series it is possible to use pressure sand die-casting or with lost wax, prior of producing the final steel die.
Provided with the base unit are two filler metering systems, one resin metering system, one catalyst metering system, one base-color metering system and a two color contrast injector system. Additional raw material
systems can be supplied as needed.
The base Autocaster Ultra™continuous casting machine also includes:
· Up to 60 lbs/minute matrix production.
· Recipe based matrix control (100 recipes in control panel) with on-the-fly recipe changes and adjustments for resin %,
catalyst %, base-color and matrix output.
· Totalizer for all raw materials (except contrast color).
· Operator calibrated gear pumps for resin, catalyst and base colors.
· Operator calibrated solid-core filler metering augers.
· Filler hoppers with integrated anti-bridging devices.
· Integrated resin heating system.
· Adjustable flow contrast color injectors (up to eight units).
· High efficiency hardened steel machined mixing auger and barrel.
· Modular base-color systems with expandable base-color pump and recirculation.
· Inverter controlled motors for all raw materials (except contrast color).
