DISA Matchplate
Introduced in late 2000 and pioneered by the Benton Foundry in Pennsylvania, the DISA MATCH combines high-quality moulding with a high-speed throughput of 160 moulds per hour (120 with core setting).
The DISA MATCH addresses the urgent needs of jobbing foundries whose customers are demanding smaller, just-in-time deliveries of high-quality castings at competitive prices.
The new DISA Aluminium Process enables aluminium foundries to leverage the cost savings, process efficiency and flexibility of DISA vertical green sand moulding technology. New features including innovative active filling and automatic casting extraction mean that aluminium foundries can now leverage the speed and cost savings of vertical green sand moulding.
The DISA Green Sand Aluminium process is already proving its worth, for example in the production of components for the automotive industry.
The DISA moulding system has been developed to set a new standard for foundry equipment. The market demands castings with high quality, competitive price and more and more complex shapes. Based on these requirements we have made a completely new design of the mechanical and hydraulic system, including control of the whole process - this is what we call our New Generation!
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.
