New die casting machine!

Clamcleats Ltd have recently purchased a new cold chamber die casting machine to help revamp their existing foundry in Welwyn Garden City.

This cold chamber die casting machine comes equipped with a data storage system, allowing accurate repetition of all injection parameters, keeping all moulds consistent, allowing improved quality. The machine will come supplied with a robotic die sprayer and ladler for pouring the molten aluminium, this will allow a fully automated cycle where appropriate.

Continuous cycling will bring a consistency to the process leading to an increase in capacity and shortening of lead times. The increased capacity allows flexibility for Clamcleats Ltd to offer support to outside customers regarding custom projects.

The machine is able to produce a locking force of 200 tons, and can cast up to 2.7kg per shot.

The machine has been ordered in the Green Line version, lowering noise levels, reducing the need for cooling fluid and reducing energy consumption by up to 80%!
