Die-cast aluminum and zinc
unlimited precision for Switzerland

Kalmbach is one of the most modern and versatile die casting plants in Germany today. At our plant in Velbert, we turn out die-cast aluminum and zinc parts that meet the highest standards. For more than 50 years, we have been working for companies operating in many different industries – both on a national and international level. We engineer and build molds and tools for customers in the hardware, electronics and entertainment, sensor technology and mechanical engineering industries. We machine, finish and assemble castings tailor-made to our customers’ specifications. Our parts are also widely used in the furniture and sanitary ware industries and in the automobile industry.

We currently manufacture precision aluminum and zinc castings custom-made to meet the special requirements of Swiss companies in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

 

Zinc die casting – Swiss precision down to the last detail

Our zinc die casting division has 20 CNC-controlled, liquid-charged, hot-chamber die casting machines equipped with 240 kN to 2,200 kN of clamping power. These manufacture precision castings weighing between 1 g and 3,500 g, in some cases with the assistance of industrial robots.

Our casting processes have been optimized to turn out even the most complex die-cast zinc products with filigree forms or thin walls. By combining maximum dimensional accuracy, savings in weight and materials as well as superb surface properties with a range of different ZAMAK alloys, we can manufacture an extensive spectrum of zinc die-cast parts.

 

Aluminum die casting – Strong components for Switzerland

Our aluminum die casting division is a force of its own with 10 CNC-controlled, liquid-charged, cold-chamber die-casting units. Automated with industrial robots, the machines are equipped with 2,500 kN to 8,800 kN of clamping power.

Robots and trimming technology assist in the manufacturing of high precision die-cast aluminum parts weighing between 10 g and 9,500 g.

Kalmbach has customized solutions when strength, good mechanical and chemical properties, conductivity, high corrosion protection and weight savings are required.

Depending upon the application, our parts are made with the following aluminum alloys: 226D, 230D, 231D or 239D.

 

Mechanical processing – A persuasive finish

Your die-cast parts are processed mechanically at our facilities on 2-, 3- und 4-axis-machining centers as well as drill presses and automatic tapping machines. Exceptional surface finishes are achieved for both aluminum and zinc cast parts by special feed-through vibratory finishers and abrasive blasting using glass beads or stainless steel corundum. Blasted, ground or polished, the die-cast parts are superbly prepared for the application of a high-quality finish by electrostatic powder coating, painting or galvanizing.

 

Surface treatment technology – Glossy die-cast parts that catch the eye

Enduring corrosion protection, enhanced resistance to wear and decorative use all place additional demands in terms of surface treatment and finishing. Our products leave a lasting impression with exceptional finishes achieved by applying powder or liquid coatings in RAL colors as well as an extensive range of galvanized surfaces. The manufacturing of die-cast parts with superior surfaces and finishes is our specialty.
