CASTHOUSE
Raw Material Preparation : Recycled aluminum is prepared for processing
Melting : Alumunium is melted in furnace, often using scrap
Degassing and Filtering : The molten aluminum is treated to remove hydrogen gas and impurities
Degassing and Filtering : The molten aluminum is treated to remove hydrogen gas and impurities
Cooling : The cast aluminum is rapidly cooled and solidified.
Scalping and Sawing : Products are cut to the required lengths.
INDUSTRY DEMANDS
High Pressure Die Casting
Melting Process : Metal (often aluminum, zinc, or magnesium) is heated in a furnace until it melts into a liquid form
Molten Transfer : The molten metal is then transferred from the melting furnace to a holding furnace or directly to the casting machine
Holding Furnace :The holding furnace maintains the molten metal at the desired temperature, ensuring it remains liquid and ready for the casting process
High Pressure Die Casting : The molten metal is injected into a mold (die) at high pressure, rapidly filling the cavity to form the desired shape.
Machining : Once the casting has cooled and solidified, it is ejected from the die. Any excess material is removed.
INDUSTRY DEMANDS
Low Pressure Die Casting
Melting Process : Metal (often aluminum, zinc, or magnesium) is heated in a furnace until it melts into a liquid form
Crucible Holding Furnace : Molten metal is kept in a holding furnace.
Degassing : Gases are removed from the molten metal.
Low Pressure Die casting : Aluminium is injected into the mold under low pressure.
Spinning Process (velg) : Casting is spun for uniformity (used in wheel production).
Heat Treatment : Castings are heat-treated for strength.
Machining : Final shaping and finishing of the casting.

Gravity Die Casting
Melting Process : Metal (often aluminum, zinc, or magnesium) is heated in a furnace until it melts into a liquid form.
Molten Transfer : The molten metal is then transferred from the melting furnace to a holding furnace or directly to the casting machine.
Holding Furnace : The holding furnace maintains the molten metal at the desired temperature, ensuring it remains liquid and ready for the casting process.
Gravity Die casting : The molten metal is poured into a mold using gravity, allowing it to flow and fill the cavity.
Degassing : Gases are removed from the molten metal to prevent defects.
Machining : The solidified casting is removed from the mold and machined to achieve the final dimensions and surface finish.
