How Does a hot chamber die machine work
The hot chamber die casting machine work with the following 5 steps:
- Melt the alloy inside the furnace
- The alloy liquid running into the chamber
- Injecte the liquid through the gooseneck to mold
- Cooling down the alloy
- take out the products
-Melting of alloy metals
Low melting point alloys such as Lead and Zinc are melted in a mechanically built-in furnace, which can be powered by electricity or fuel gas to provide the required heat.
Metal solution casting process： Hot chamber machines have an alloying furnace as part of the machine itself.
As the plunger of the injection cylinder rises, a port in the cylinder opens and the molten metal fills the hot chamber. The plunger then moves to the cover mould and 700psi to 5000psi pressure is applied to hold the casting in place.
Once the metal has solidified in the mould cavity, the plunger retracts and the casting is ejected.
Hot chamber die casting is a simplified and cost-saving means of production and is ideal for the manufacture of sink faucets, door and window fittings, furniture connectors toys, gears, vehicle parts, and other consumer, commercial and industrial products.
-The liquid alloy running into the chamber
The liquid alloy will be running automatically into the chamber, as the chamber is kept inside of the furnace.
This is the reason we call the machine is hot chamber die casting machine.
-Inject the liquid through the gooseneck
After the alloy runs into the chamber, the piston will work.
The hydraulic system will support high pressure to the piston, then the piston will go through the chamber and push the liquid alloy go forwarder.
The alloy will follow the way inside the gooseneck, with high pressure.
After it leaves gooseneck, the alloy will go into the mould(die).
-Cooling down the alloy
After the alloy was injected into the mould, we just waited some seconds to cool down.
As the temperature decreases, the liquid alloy will solidify into a solid state.
-Take out the products
When the alloy solidify, the hot chamber die casting machine will eject the products down from the mould.
Die casting machine principle of operation:
The clamping mechanism drives die casting mould to close, the mould locking, to ensure that in the process of ejection filling mould parting surface will not be expanded。
The ejection mechanism according to the prescribed speed pushes the compaction within the metal liquid, flow through the mould inside the sprue and gate, filling the mould cavity。
The hydraulic system to maintain a certain amount of pressure is transmitted to the solidification of the metal liquid, die casting, die casting shape, and the ejection head to return to the reset.
After cooling the machine pushes to open the mould, and the finished product is taken out manually or by the picker, into the next cycle of production.
