The automatic loader for zamak ingots is a helpful tool both for die casting quality and energy savings. It allows to maintain constant the molten metal level in the holding pot and this makes possible to avoid any extra cooling of the metal; a fully stable molten metal temperature is a necessary condition for a stable production and then for achieving the part quality.

Main features

The CAPTOR-Z zamak automatic loader is easy to install and has a compact footprint and it can therefore fit to different size and layout of all die casting hot chamber machines.

The loader is automatic with large autonomy (up to 22 zamak ingots) and then it makes possible to implement fully unattended machine cycles. Equipped with a Siemens PLC the system is easy to manage with an intuitive touchscreen interface. It can be set in both automatic or manual mode. Due to the gradual insertion of the ingot into the holding pot the automatic loader greatly reduces the metal temperature fluctuations and, as a result, increases stability and part quality. Even from the energy side the automatic loader allows to reduce the molten metal thermal variations since the ingot is gradually pre-heated during the immersion.
