Melting
The melting zone is designed to allow six different alloy types to be processed simultaneously with a total melting capacity of 240 tons per day prior to the High Pressure Die Casting process.
The whole process takes place via using state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and upscale machinery such as shaft melting furnaces, rotary degassing units, density index measurements that are integrated with ERP traceability system.
Casting & Foundry
With 22 high-end HPDC machines from 550T-2200T clamping capacity and an average age of 4, Çelikel can produce parts from 500 grams to 15 kilograms rapidly and flawlessly for its customers. More than 60% of the casting machines are cell type and fully automated.
Çelikel’s production plant, ensuring high quality and traceability, can provide the required high durability for HPDC parts based on customer requirements and specifications using its T5 & T7 heat treatment furnaces.
