KURTZ CASTING SOLUTIONS

THINK BIG High Quality Solutions Smart technologies that demonstrably achieve enormous productivity increases – in process-reliable, perfect quality. Kurtz Casting Solutions stand for high-quality mechanical engineering and comprehensive process know-how from over 40 years of experience. From the initial consultation to project planning and commissioning, we support you all the way to the finished complete solution including 24/7 service. As a group that found its origins in 1779 with an old iron hammer, we maintain production sites in North America, Asia as well as Europe and have sales...

We optimize production processes of our customers. Global. Ahead. Sustainable. Living technology since 1779: The iron hammer in Hasloch, which is operated with water power and is still functional today, is the root of the Kurtz Ersa corporation.

APPLICATION AREAS IN AUTOMOTIVE AND INDUSTRY With a view to lightweight construction, numerous chassis and structural parts are made of aluminum. Hardly surprising, since aluminum is the most used lightweight metal with outstanding mechanical properties and weight-specific high energy absorption capacity. Aluminum low pressure die casting is used in safety-relevant parts, such as chassis or engine parts, and for pressure-tight components with the highest load requirements in vacuum, hydraulic and high-voltage technology. The range of applications produced by Kurtz extends from rapid...

High Quality Turnkey Solutions Optimize processes, reduce costs: Kurtz Ersa can look back on a number of successfully implemented turnkey projects. Turnkey casting lines from Kurtz range from casting and process development to the steps of mold making, on-site installation of the machine, mold run-in and training. With our modular systems, you are ideally equipped to sustainably optimize your productivity with individual automation solutions: whether lowcost or high-tech, maximum flexibility for frequent product changes or tailored to your specific tasks. THINK BIG! There are no limits to...

THINK BIG High Quality in Low Pressure Low pressure die casting (LPDC) is predestined for implementing extremely high quality requirements. The process is ideal when highly stressed components with a particularly fine microstructure, very good mechanical properties, and degrees of freedom in design are required. By applying minimal pressure to the furnace, the molten aluminum is filled into the mold via the riser tube. The controlled, uniform pressure increase slowly fills the mold cavity and prevents the formation of oxide skins, the formation of cold runs and the risk of air inclusions....
