Low-pressure casting systems and technical service
Our Foundry Partner
TCT Tesic GmbH cooperates with a specialist machine manufacturer for low-pressure casting systems, which has over 50 years of experience in the development, design and manufacture of machines and casting products. Since its foundation in 2020, the company has focused on tailor-made solutions in the field of aluminium and magnesium low-pressure die casting and serves both new machine projects and the maintenance of existing plants from various manufacturers. The low-pressure die casting systems offered provide a technically mature solution for the demanding production of aluminium and magnesium castings. They combine modern control technology, energy-efficient components, user-friendly design and high reliability.
TCT Tesic is responsible for the European distribution of these systems and also offers comprehensive technical services – from consulting to maintenance – for both new and existing machines. Companies that value quality, cost-effectiveness and customised solutions will find TCT Tesic to be an experienced and practice-oriented partner.
Technology and machine concepts
The machines operate using the low-pressure casting process, in which the molten metal is fed into the mould in a controlled manner via a riser pipe. Both metal and sand moulds can be used. The models are available in various sizes to meet different production requirements.
Excerpt from technical features (depending on model):
Tool plate diameter
650–1350 mm
Oven capacity
up to 1050 kg of aluminium
Maximum temperature
800 °C
Closing forces
up to over 300 kN
Total connected load
70–115 kW
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems
Modular and maintenance-friendly design
The machines have multiple side core pulls, which allows for flexible mould design. They are also suitable for above-floor and below-floor operation, which underlines their adaptability to different foundry layouts.
Service, consulting and mould making
In addition to machine sales, TCT Tesic also offers comprehensive consulting and engineering services – both for mould making and for complete casting process chains. These include:
- 3D design of casting moulds
- Solidification simulations for quality assurance
- Weight optimisation and design consulting
- Certification consulting in accordance with international standards
- Long-term consulting packages for foundries, for example on process optimisation, workpiece inspection or post-processing
These services make TCT Tesic a comprehensive partner – from the planning of new plants and delivery to long-term operation and the strategic development of the foundry.
Applications and advantages
The systems are specially designed to meet the requirements of modern foundries. They are particularly frequently used in the manufacture of light alloy wheels and in the production of complex aluminium components. Low-pressure casting technology enables castings to be produced with very high dimensional accuracy, surface quality and material homogeneity.
A particular advantage is the ability to minimise scrap – with optimised processes, it is possible to use the very first cast component as a flawless product. This saves resources and significantly increases the cost-effectiveness of production.
Further advantages of the systems:
- Compact, maintenance-friendly design
The machines are accessible from all sides and require only a small footprint. This not only facilitates operation, but also reduces maintenance and downtime. - Low working height
Thanks to their flat design, no complex platforms or pedestals are required – an advantage in terms of ergonomics and safety. - Robustness and durability
The design is geared towards reliable continuous operation and requires only minimal maintenance. - Energy efficiency
Modern control technology such as thyristor control and high-quality insulation reduce operating costs and protect the environment. - Process automation and visualisation
The machines are equipped with user-friendly PLC controls that enable visualisation of the process via colour monitors. Operating data and error messages are displayed directly, allowing for quick response and easy control.
