Megacasting rocks

Last week I had the chance to present with Dr. Per Jansson from Comptech AB Rheocasting for Megacastings at the Bühler Open House. Bühler Group Die Casting presented their 8400-ton Megacasting machine. It is impressive. I collected a few of the impressions in this video.

To give you some perspective, here are some straight numbers:

21.4m long
7.6m high
4.2m wide
620 tons heavy
236 kg max shot weight
300mm max plunger size
5412 bar max pressure

Impressive, don’t you think?
