KS series · 38 to 88 tonnes

Built for small parts at speed

On a hot-chamber machine the shot chamber and plunger are immersed in the molten alloy. The plunger travels down, the metal is forced through the gooseneck and the nozzle into the die, and the chamber refills on the return stroke. There is no ladling step, so the cycle is short and repeatable.

That only works below about 650 °C. Zinc and magnesium sit comfortably inside that limit; aluminium does not, which is why there is a separate cold-chamber range.

Where the KS series fits

• Zinc lock bodies, zipper sliders, buckles, hardware and decorative parts
• Magnesium covers and small housings where weight matters
• Shielding cans and small connector shells
