The latest project of Nantong Jiangzhong Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. ("Jiangzhong") was officially launched: Installation of Italpresse Gauss TF5700 High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) machine. The project launch ceremony was held on February 1, 2021 at the company's base in Jiangsu Province, China. The project launch ceremony was held after the contract signed at the end of 2020.

TF5700 has a huge platen of 3500 x 3500 mm and a clamping force of 5700 tons makes it an ideal solution for the production of large parts. After installation, Jiangzhong's TF5700 (to be built at Italpresse Gauss' Italian headquarters) will be the first machine deployed in China. The Italpresse team at the Norican Group's Changzhou plant will complete the installation and support the machine to move forward. In order to perfectly match the TF5700, Jiangzhong also bought a Westomat 3100 from StrikoWestofen, which integrates seamlessly with the machine. Open up new opportunities with excellent quality and productivity Jiangzhong was established in 1992, specializing in the production of die-cast aluminum alloy parts for elevators and escalators, such as escalator steps, elevator ceilings and floors, moving walkways and glass brackets. In 2020, it will produce 16,000 tons of die-cast aluminum parts for famous brands such as Schindler, Mitsubishi, Otis, Hitachi, and Hyundai. "The future of our company depends on advanced, intelligent and digital equipment," said Mr. Xu Yinglong, chairman of Jiangzhong. "TF5700 will help us provide larger parts for the traditional escalator market, and will also open up new markets for us to produce large structural parts for automobiles and even high-speed railways. This is a big opportunity. Our annual output has increased by 25%. %, so we expect that the new machine will help us maintain or exceed the current growth rate.” Commenting on the future opportunities of Jiangzhong, Shrek Westhofen and Itoperis Gauss, Senior Vice President of Shrek Westhofen Peter Reuther said that he believes that this cooperation will enable the three companies to further seek "product breakthroughs, tap potential value, advance in the direction of high, precision, and continuous advancement, and make greater contributions to the innovative development of the foundry industry". The foundry has already operated five 3,000-ton die-casting machines and many other small and medium-sized die-casting machines. The three large machines in Jiangzhong came from Italpresse Gauss, and the first machine was installed more than ten years ago. "Italpresse die-casting machines are reliable, stable in performance, high in output, and have good after-sales service support," Mr. Ying Long explained. "Our relationship with Italpresse began in 2005. Since then, we have purchased a 3000-ton die-casting machine and two 3300-ton die-casting machines, which is very useful for us."

  Large, high-quality components-smart, compact machines. Compared with toggle-based designs, Italpresse Gauss' TF (no toggle) series high-pressure die-casting machines provide a smaller machine footprint, higher rigidity and more Fewer wear parts to improve reliability and performance. Although it can produce very large parts, the compact size of the TF5700 means it can be easily installed in existing factories in Jiangzhong. The fact that it is completely digital also supports Jiangzhong's demand for smart technology. "We believe in Italian HPDC technology, very stable performance and compact design," said Mr. Ying Long. "In order to adapt to our current workshop, we want a lean and intelligent machine, and the TF 5700 is exactly that. Real-time data is also very important to us. It will help us monitor the entire die casting process." "Our opinion of Italpresse The performance of the equipment and the quality of the castings produced are very satisfactory," Mr. Ying Long concluded. "In more than 15 years of cooperation, we have also established a very good relationship-we trust each other. That's why when we needed a large machine, we chose Italpresse." Also present at the official opening ceremony was Italy's Goss. CEO Mario Sinkota and Peter Holm Larsen, Head of Aluminum Activities at Norican Group. Mario said: "This is a very important and exciting milestone for both organizations. As one of the first organizations to order our new TF5700-not only in China, but also in the world-Nantongjiang China Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. has demonstrated its pioneering spirit and trust in us to create "new possibilities"." In response to Mario's words, Peter commented: "For many years, we have been a proud partner of Nantong. Say, this proves our ability to communicate, find a way forward when faced with challenges, and last but not least, prove our trust in everyone. Others. In terms of mutual success, nothing can replace good Partnership."
