Product catalog summary
Overview of DISA Aluminium Process
The DISA Aluminium Process integrates low-pressure aluminium casting with vertical greensand moulding, offering a high-speed, accurate, and cost-effective solution for producing high-quality aluminium castings. This process is suitable for a variety of applications, including automotive components like intake manifolds, transmission housings, and engine blocks.

Key Features and Benefits
  • Active Filling System: Reduces turbulence and allows controlled pouring, enhancing mould surface and foundry environment.
  • Automatic Casting Extraction: Increases efficiency with precise handling, improving the foundry environment.
  • High Production Speed: Capable of producing up to 300 moulds per hour, replacing multiple die casting machines.
  • Flexibility: Accommodates various alloys, wall thicknesses, and casting sizes with quick pattern changes.
  • Cost Efficiency: Low tooling and maintenance costs, with long tooling lifetime and minimal manpower requirements.

Project Management and Service
DISA provides comprehensive project management, including equipment installation, personnel training, and ongoing support through service agreements and a 365-day hotline. Their R&D program supports continuous improvement in aluminium alloy metallurgy and casting technology.

Applications and Technology
The vertical moulding principle is central to DISA's process, enabling near net-shape, complex castings with minimal finishing. This technology is widely used by major automotive manufacturers such as Ford, General Motors, and Volkswagen.

Company Background
Founded in 1900, DISA is a leading supplier of foundry equipment and metal surface finishing systems, with a global presence across three continents.

DISA Aluminium process-3

Precise setting of heavy and complex cores within the cycle time of the DISA moulding machine ensures the proper capability of the thin-walled castings and that castings can be produced with no fins. > The DISA low-pressure, active filling system reduces turbulence in the mould cavity, offering the user controlled pouring speed and time. Low-pressure filling technology increases available mould surface and improves the foundry environment. A patented locking mechanism driven by a pneumatic cylinder ensures complete closure at the base of the mould when filling is com- plete. This enables the...
