CWM uses CCDC to produce high-strength aluminum components for demanding applications, especially those requiring thicker walls and structural integrity. This process is ideal for high-volume production, where consistency and performance are paramount.
With CCDC, molten aluminum is transferred from a central melt furnace to a holding furnace at each die casting machine. An automated ladle system delivers a calibrated amount of liquid aluminum to the shot chamber, where programmable hydraulic valves activate a plunger to inject the molten aluminum into the die at high pressure and speed. Once solidified, the casting is automatically ejected or robotically extracted and placed onto a cooling conveyor. It then moves directly to the die trimming operation, where excess material is removed and put into a recycling container, reinforcing CWM’s commitment to sustainable manufacturing. The trimmed casting is now ready for shipment or additional processing, depending on customer requirements.
CWM has 11 aluminum cold chamber die casting centers, with locking forces ranging from 300 to 1000 tons. Castings can be produced from 0.75”x 0.75”to 18”x 18”
