FLAGSHIP HPDC CELL
TOSHIBA (JAPAN) • COLD CHAMBER HPDC
350TLOCKING FORCE
ZITAI PRECISION (TAIWAN)
High repetition rate cold chamber configuration optimized for lighting housings, switchgear components, and pump covers.
Thermal Metallurgy685°C ± 5°C TOLERANCE
Centrally integrated thermodynamic crucible stations designed for non-ferrous aluminium degassing, dross reduction, and stable eutectic silicon chemistry.
Provides extreme thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal shock, preventing metallic iron contamination inside virgin aluminium melts.
CRUCIBLE LIFE: > 1,200 HEATS
Dual immersion thermocouples continuously balance bath equilibrium at exactly 685°C to avoid cold-shut defects and shrinkage porosity in die chambers.
ACCURACY: ± 3°C DRIFT CEILING
Rotary graphite rotor introduces pure argon/nitrogen purging gas to scavenge hydrogen gas micro-bubbles before transfer to die-holding ladles.
SPECIFIC GRAVITY DENSITY: > 2.68
COMPLETE IN-HOUSE FINISHING & METROLOGICAL VALIDATION
High-output rotary screw compressor configuration with refrigerated air drying arrays, sustaining continuous pneumatic pressure for robotic sprayers and die unclamping.
RATING10 BAR CONSTANT
High-grade metrology inspection datum surface paired with digital height gauges and coordinate dial indicators for precision dimension & flatness verification.
GRADEGRADE 0 ACCURACY
Full-span overhead electric traveling crane commanding both foundry bays for rapid mold changes, raw ingot ladle transport, and die platen installation.
CAPACITY5.0 TON SAFE LOAD
Geared precision drilling and tapping setups with custom pneumatic index tables for high-cadence casting hole preparation and tapping threads.
DIAMETERØ1.5 mm - Ø32 mm
Heavy-duty bandsaw and circular abrasive saw systems engineered to cleanly excise gating channels, biscuit remnants, and overflows without structural shock.
CYCLE SPEED< 12 SEC / SPRUE
High-velocity abrasive belt linishers and vibratory finishing bowls removing parting line flashes and delivering uniform aesthetic micro-surfaces.
