The Die Cast process allows products to be made with high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The die casting process also produce fine details such as textured surfaces without requiring further processing.  Unlike other manufacturing processes such as extrusion, the die casting process does not limit the shape of parts.  Die cast parts are able to withstand to a broader range of temperature, making it more ideal in harsh temperatures and working environments. ​ Since PentaCast can produce complexe parts to net shape, there is little or no machining processes required thus reducing the production time.   ​ PentaCast uses both hot and cold chamber processes.  The hot chamber process has a short cycle time as it does not require metal to be transported from a separate furnace.  Cold Chamber Die Casting is used primarily for aluminum alloys.

Permanent mold - gravity die casting machines

​

The Permanent mold process produces non-ferrous high density, high strength castings with a smooth surface finish compared to sand-casting. Good part repeatability, and the rapid solidification of metal creates fine grain structure with superior metallurgical properties. 

​

Tilt pouring reduces turbulence as molten metal enters the die cavity, provides shorter cycle times, and requires less metal for feeding systems. Aluminum castings produced in metal molds have a tighter dendrite structure than castings produced in other processes. In addition, aluminum castings are harder and have better pressure characteristics. Value added options, such as sand cores or cast-in ferrous inserts are quite simple.

Prototyping and low to high volume production processes

​

PentaCast specializes in the production of aluminum and zinc parts in prototype and low-high volume production quantities through our diverse processes.  Our operations are designed to deliver individual parts and complete assemblies very quickly.

​

Our proprietary casting processes shortens the time from conception to finished product. 

​

Green Manufacturing:  According to scientists, plastics takes at least a few hundreds of years to degrade fully.  This means that obsolete plastic products are pilled up in the landfills, polluting and causing health hazards.  Unlike plastic, die casting parts are primarily made of recycled material.  On average, approximately 95% of the metal is recycled from salvaged parts making it a sustainable material that can be used over and over again without degradation.
