In the aluminum die casting industry, the performance and longevity of your machines play a crucial role in ensuring consistent quality and operational efficiency. One of the most critical in HPDC—but often overlooked—components in this process is the platen.
The platen holds and aligns the die halves, bearing immense pressure during each cycle. Over time, due to repeated stress and thermal exposure, the platen can suffer from cracks, warping, or wear. If left unchecked, this can lead to poor die alignment, flash issues, increased maintenance costs, and ultimately premature machine failure.
Why Platen Repair Matters
- Extends Machine Life
Timely platen repair helps restore its structural integrity, ensuring the machine can continue operating without the need for early replacement. - Improves Die Alignment and Part Quality
A damaged platen can cause die misalignment, affecting casting accuracy. Repairing the platen ensures tighter tolerances and more consistent parts. - Reduces Downtime
Preventive maintenance and repair reduce the frequency of unexpected machine stoppages, saving valuable production time. - Cost Efficiency
Repairing a platen is significantly more economical than replacing it—or worse, dealing with total machine failure. - Sustainability
Regular platen refurbishment supports sustainability by reducing waste and extending the lifecycle of existing equipment.
