Flexible and Powerful

Frech provides cold-chamber die casting machines with locking forces from 1,300 kN to 44,000 kN for the production of a wide range of castings, from small OEM parts to engine blocks or gearbox housings, as well as chassis and body components made of aluminum and magnesium alloys.
The patented Vacural process has placed Frech at the top of the world of light-weight processing engineering.
Together our cold-chamber die casting machines make up the K family of products which includes following model series:

K-Series Cold Chamber Machines

Frech’s cold-chamber die casting technology has been pointing the way in pressure-tight and low porosity castings production. We have worked together closely with our customers to tailor the K-series to the increasing requirements of the markets.

The Advantages of Frech’s Modular K-Series:

  • Higher productivity thanks to shorter cycle times

  • Optimized quality of castings at maximum shot speeds

  • High degree of retrofitting flexibility thanks to modular design

  • Differently sized shot ends and closing units can be combined to meet specific process requirements

  • Possibility of using larger dies thanks to larger clamping plate sizes, available as an option

  • Service-friendly thanks to good accessibility and remote capabilities

  • Long service life due to rugged machine design

The modular K-series cold-chamber machines by Frech are available with locking forces from 2,500 kN to 16,000 kN.

The GDK-Series – 1,900 to 4,400 tons of Locking Force

With our machines for locking forces from 19,500 to 44,000 kN we have set the standard for leading-edge technology and gone out of our way to meet our customers’ requirements.

As we see it, building high-pressure die casting machines is not our only competence. We also excel at planning specific application solutions, which can range from individual die casting machines to complete die casting cells to turnkey equipment for entire foundries including dies.

Thanks to numerous projects during the past decades we have gained a high level of expertise which makes us the partner of choice when it comes to the engineering of sophisticated production solutions or for application-specific advice on how to optimize your die casting processes.
