chill casting gravity

OUR JOB

Fonderia In Conchiglia is specialized in the casting of aluminium alloys using automatic and semi-automatic chill casting technology.
A complete service is provided in response to supply specifications.
Starting from the design and technical drawing of the item to be produced in series, a specialist manufacturer is contracted externally to make the necessary moulds, in this case permanent moulds and coreboxes in cast iron or C45, according to the different types of cast.

Manufacturing process

After samples have been produced and approved, production casting begins, using manual or automatic machines depending on the geometry and the dimensions of the items and the size and number of batches to be turned out.
The materials used are UNI certified primary or secondary aluminium alloys currently available on the market.
