Magnesium Dosing

Due to the ever-increasing possible uses of magnesium in modern consumer electronics and in the automotive industry, magnesium die-casting and thus the magnesium melting and dosing process is becoming increasingly important.

The demands on the melt in terms of oxides, hydrogen content and temperature control are becoming increasingly important in the manufacture of cast parts.
In addition to the die-casting mold, the die-casting machine and their peripherals, the entire melting process is of course also responsible for the required casting and part quality. The entire melting process begins with the necessary preheating of the ingots, extends to melting and keeping warm in the magnesium furnace under a protective gas atmosphere and ends with the controlled dosing of the melt into the shotsleeve of the cold chamber die casting machine.

This is exactly where Meltec Industrieofenbau GmbH offers the perfect product range with the various dosing systems. In combination with the proven furnace technology, the optimal solution can be found for any application.

The new and unique magnesium vacuum dosing system is used for the highest demands. This is unrivaled in terms of dosing quality as well as efficiency, maintenance and safety.
Fully automated ingot charging and preheating systems and the complete protective gas mixing technology make Meltec a full-service provider for the material magnesium.
