Will Your Tool Run Here? Die Casting Machine Tonnage and Capacity

Shawnee Specialties runs a dedicated fleet of zinc and aluminum die casting machines spanning 35 to 500 tons, both hot-chamber and cold-chamber systems, giving us the flexibility to produce everything from small, high-detail zinc components to larger structural aluminum parts.

Check your tool's tonnage and shot weight against this range before you request a quote.

A Modern, Automated Casting Floor

To enhance throughput and eliminate variation, many of our die casting cells are equipped with ABB robotic automation. These robots support:

• Precise ladling and metal handling

• Automated spraying and die preparation

• Consistent part removal

• Fast, repeatable cycle times

With automation managing repetitive and timing-critical tasks, our casting process stays stable, efficient, and remarkably consistent across long production runs.

Equipment Built for the Demands of Real Manufacturing

Hot-Chamber Machines

Presses: 35, 50, and 150 tons.

Ideal for zinc alloys, delivering:

• Fast cycle times

• Excellent detail and thin-wall capability

• Minimal energy loss during the melt-to-mold process

Cold-Chamber Machines

Presses: 50, 350, and 500 tons.

Used for aluminum casting, providing:

• High-strength structural parts

• Controlled metal delivery and pressure

• Capability for larger, more demanding components

We run trusted names like Toshiba and National, recognized globally for their accuracy, durability, and uptime. Supported by in-house maintenance and tooling, these machines deliver reliable performance every day.

Repeatable Quality Built Into Every Casting Cell

Our die casting equipment is paired with:

• Precise temperature and pressure controls

• Preventative maintenance on dies, pistons, and shot systems

• Inline monitoring for cycle timing and process stability

• Automation-assisted consistency on every shot

This disciplined equipment setup ensures consistent accuracy throughout every cycle, for the long run.
