Energy storage part of die casting machine

Why is energy consumption prediction important for die casting machines?

The energy consumption prediction of die casting machines can support energy consumption quota, process parameter energy-saving optimization, energy-saving design, and energy efficiency evaluation; thus, it is of great significance for Industry 4.0 and green manufacturing.

Do die casting machines consume a lot of energy?

Die casting machines, which are the core equipment of the machinery manufacturing industry, consume great amounts of energy.

How a die casting machine works?

Die casting machine produces castings and scrap. The scrap might be sold or recycled or a combination of these two. The castings are then directed to the trimming process. After the trimming process, the castings which pass the quality control test will go to the machining process. The output of the machining process is final castings and scrap.

What are the major energy requirements for die-casting operations?

The obvious major energy requirements are for melting and holding molten alloy in preparation for casting. The proper selection and maintenance of melting and holding equipment are clearly important factors in minimizing energy consumption in die-casting operations .

Does team output energy consumption and number of die-casting machines?

Although not shown, with appropriate energy consumption input data for pertinent equipment in the model, TEAM will output the energy consumption and number of die-casting machines required to meet desire production output.

How to reduce energy consumption in die-casting operations?

The proper selection and maintenance of melting and holding equipment are clearly important factors in minimizing energy consumption in die-casting operations . In addition to energy consumption, furnace selection also influences metal loss due to oxidation, metal quality, and maintenance requirements.
