Cold chamber die casting machines are specifically designed for metals with high melting points, where the injection system remains separate from the molten metal holding furnace. This configuration reduces wear on the injection components and is well suited for producing high-strength, dimensionally accurate castings.

This machine represents a solid opportunity for foundries and manufacturers seeking proven, heavy-capacity die casting capability. Ideal for retrofit, parts, or continued production use. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the unit and assess its current operational condition prior to purchase.
