With the new Italpresse Gauss equipment, Huicheng Foundry is looking to improve its competitive advantage in terms of quality and productivity, as well as expanding its capabilities for the casting of large structural parts. 

The machines are at the large end of Italpresse Gauss’ equipment range which offers closing forces of up to 5600 tonnes. The TF4400 is a toggle-free two-platen machine, which means a smaller footprint, increased rigidity and fewer wear parts for improved reliability and performance. The TF1850 is the first high pressure die-casting machine to be made at Norican Group’s Changzhou workshop in China, a milestone in Italpresse Gauss’ localisation strategy.

Liu Yanling continues: “I really like the design of the machines. For example, Italpresse were the first company to introduce forged platens, making them - in my experience – virtually unbreakable. From the design of the platens right through to the excellent machine controls, Italpresse technology will give us an accuracy and flexibility that is a real competitive advantage. Having access to the group’s digital R&D through Norican Digital is an added bonus and helps us stay ahead of the digitization curve.” 铸件展-铸件采购会-国际铸件展-2020第二十一届广州国际铸件展会-巨浪展览 -The 21st China (Guangzhou ) Int’l Casting product Exhibition -Casting product Exhibition, 2020 casting product Exhibition, China Casting product Exhibition, Casting Exhibition, China Casting Exhibition, 2020 Casting Exhibition, Casting product Expo, 2020 casting product Expo, China Casting product Expo, Casting Expo, China Casting Expo, 2020 Casting Expo, 

Huicheng Foundry is being looked after by the Norican team in China, headed up by Wei Baohua, who offers dedicated service and equipment support for all four Norican technologies (DISA, Italpresse Gauss, StrikoWestofen and Wheelabrator).

Liu Yanling concludes: “Local service here in China is incredibly important to us and Mr Wei and his great team were a key selling point. We’re delighted to co-operate with Norican Group and proud to be the first company in China to purchase these machines. I’m sure it’s just the beginning and many more Chinese aluminium foundries will follow our lead.”
