Automotive ApplicationsVariety. Precision. Solutions.
The range of applications extends from rapid prototyping to series cast-ing and special solutions.
Both open deck and closed deck designs are possible. The machines are fitted with core pulls to match the cast part. The precision guide for the core pulls is a specially good design feature.
Kurtz low-pressure casting cells are particularly popular in the automotive supply sector – the majority of en-gines for the premium makes are cast using Kurtz systems.
Kurtz offers pre-series for small quan-tities or automated mass-production.

Industrial ApplicationsSafety. Strength. Individuality.
Aluminium low-pressure die cast-ing is used in parts where safety is paramount, such as chassis or engine parts and for pressure-tight compo-nents subject to high loads in vacuum, hydraulic and high-voltage engineer-ing. Priority is given to ensuring the highest quality.
Kurtz offers innumerable individual engineering solutions for low-pressure casting, providing everything from a single source.
We will find the perfect solution for the production of your cast parts!

Kurtz is continuously working on new and further developments. These result in an increase in efficiency, process stability, cycle time and energy savings, quality increase, process reproducibility and digital data collection.
Excellent example: the low-pressure casting process. During this process, the formation of oxide films, cold shuts and pockets is being prevented.
The technical processes used and the careful cooling of the mould produce the perfect cast.
The innovative multiple riser pipe sys-tem from Kurtz offers unprecedented flexibility in the casting and feeding of parts using the low-pressure casting process without additional heating.

Tiltable core pull
Kurtz Low-Pressure Casting MachinesInnovation. Efficiency. Reliability.
The 4-column guide system together with the parallel guides ensures pre-cise closure of the two halves of the mould. Kurtz offers a range of core pulls for actuating the lateral mould segments.
All Kurtz foundry machines combine simple operation, handling and control, as well as the option of saving and calling up casting recipes.
The machine control with recipe man-agement is ideally suited to a quick product change-over and ensures optimum process reproducibility.
The modular design of the casting cells, together with the extensive range of accessories and matching peripherals, enables a high degree of automation to be achieved. Very low furnace change-over times and modules such as the mould quick-change system ensure high availability and minimum down times.
