At around 700 °C, molten aluminium attacks the iron of the gooseneck, the shot chamber and the plunger. The parts erode within weeks, and the iron they give up contaminates the alloy. So the shot chamber is kept out of the furnace: a ladle takes a measured amount of metal and pours it into a cold shot sleeve, and the plunger injects from there.

Intermediate sizes 160, 280, 630, 1000 and 1250 T are also built. Figures are reference values from our current range and are confirmed on the quotation for your order.
Transmission and housing parts, brackets, structural castings where wall thickness and porosity are controlled.
Optical module housings and connector shells needing dimensional accuracy and internal soundness.
Pump and motor housings, fittings, hardware and general engineering castings.
Send the die drawing, the alloy and the target cycle. We will confirm clamping force, shot weight and platen size against the KSC range.
