HPC battery type machine in production
Demoulding at the battery HPC machine
Castimo battery high-pressure casting systems are designed for the economical and reproducible production of sanitaryware with 2-part porous resin moulds. The combination of high-pressure casting technology, robust machine design and modern process control enables short cycle times, stable production conditions and consistently high product quality.
Depending on the product and production target, machine size, number of moulds and degree of automation can be adapted individually. Castimo supplies both individual high-pressure casting machines and fully integrated production solutions — matched to product, capacity and factory layout.
