INDUGA LPDC2121Pro

Induga delivers the first low-pressure die casting machine of the new LPDC2121 Pro system type to a well-known valve manufacturer in Europe. 

The LPDC2121 Pro is characterized by the fact that, unlike existing systems in this industry, it can transport two standard moulds per manipulator. 

As a result, the newly developed machine achieves almost twice the output of the standard LPDC2121, the previous leader in this segment. With approx. 550 castings per shift and 2-4 castings per mold, several thousand fittings can be cast. This in turn leads to a significant reduction in unit costs, an important criterion in the production of fittings. 

The fact that each of the two manipulators has its own parameters or recipes means that a very high degree of flexibility can be guaranteed on the system. 

The machine offers a variety of new features that allow the customer to achieve the best possible casting results. 

These include the position measuring sensor system in the hydraulics, which now enables movements to be carried out much more precisely, hydraulic components from Rexroth that are characterized by their robustness and durability, and the newly designed automatic charging system for return material from the company's own production and ingots. Automatic weight detection allows the ratio of recycled and new material to be optimally adjusted

Induga's main focus has always been on system safety and user-friendliness. With the LPDC2121 Pro, Induga has once again reached a new level. For example, the new core insert door, which ensures high accessibility with maximum safety. Overall, accessibility within the system has been further improved so that operators and maintenance staff can also carry out necessary tasks during the casting process.

Automatic removal of the castings and depositing them in a newly designed cooling/suction area significantly reduces fumes from adhesive and molding sand. 

In the induction melting and dosing furnace, with an output adapted to the significantly increased throughput, Induga is retaining the successful exchange concept. This means that the customer can also be provided with an exchange furnace in the future, which has already been pre-sintered at Induga. This means that the customer only has a system downtime of approx. 2 days when the furnace is replaced.
