Die casting of zinc happens with liquid zinc at 420 °C in milliseconds

Die casting happens by pressing 420°C hot liquid zinc into the casting tool under high pressure and speed. Typically the casting tool is filled within a few milliseconds and then the zinc hardens. The casting tool is held closed by applying a high pressure and opens after the zinc is hardened. The zinc parts are pushed out of the tool and removed by a robot. The process is fully automatic.                     

Linimatic is specialized in the production of die casted zinc parts.

Linimatic produce only die casted zinc parts in the foundry and have specialized machinery with Frech warmchamber casting machines and associated robots, trouvalisation, blasting, robot-grinding and CNC machining.

Production plant with zinc casting machines from 5 tons to 315 tons

The Linimatic production plant consists of a number of dedicated die casting machines with closing pressure in the range of 5 tons to 315 tons. All casting machines are fully automized with robots in order to minimize the use of manual labour.

Die casted zinc parts with weight from 1 gram to 4 kilogram.

Linimatic has a very flexible production plant covering a large area. In the light weight area with zinc parts weighing 1 gram and used for locking mechanisms. In the heavy area we produce as example a lamp foot weighing over 3 kilogram and used for a designer floor lamp.

Die casted zinc parts gives you all the details.

As die casted zinc parts ensure, that even the smallest details are included in the finished part, most die casted zinc parts do not need any after treatment, but you can surface coat directly after the trouvalisation of the parts.
