Thank you for choosing Kinetic Die Casting Company as your trusted partner for high-quality metal parts. We specialize in manufacturing precision components for our customers using the die casting process, a highly efficient method that delivers durable, intricate parts at impressive speeds.
At its core, die casting involves injecting molten metal—typically aluminum or zinc into a steel mold (called a die) under high pressure. This forces the metal to fill every detail of the cavity, resulting in parts with excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth surfaces, and superior strength. Once the metal solidifies, the part is ejected, and the cycle repeats rapidly.
The speed of die casting is one of its greatest advantages, especially for medium to high-volume production. When the die is mounted in a modern die casting machine, the entire process happens in seconds, allowing us to produce about 500 die casting parts in a single day during a standard 10-hour shift.

Here’s a step-by-step look at how we achieve this efficient daily output:
1. Die Casting Mold Opening: The die casting machine opens the steel mold halves, preparing for the next cycle.
2. Spray Lubrication: An experienced operator sprays a release agent (lubricant) onto the mold surfaces. This prevents the solidified metal part from sticking and ensures clean ejection while protecting the die.
3. Machine Clamping: The operator closes the mold, and the machine applies several hundred tons of clamping force to keep it securely shut during injection.
4. Metal Alloy Injection: Molten metal, heated to precise temperatures, is shot into the mold cavity at extreme pressure (often 10,000–20,000 psi) and high velocity. This fills even thin walls and complex geometries in milliseconds.
5. Freezing Solidification: Within a few seconds, the metal cools and “freezes” into the exact shape of the mold, forming a strong, dense part.
6. Die Casting Mold Opening: The machine reopens the die, typically in under a minute from the start of the cycle.
7. Die Casting Part Ejection: Ejector pins push the newly formed part out of the mold. Any excess material (like runners or flash) is later trimmed.
8. Shot Cycle Repeat: The process of making a die casting part is called a Shot cycle. The process restarts immediately, often within 60 seconds of the previous part’s completion.
This rapid cycling—usually 45–90 seconds per shot, depending on part size and complexity—translates to roughly 60 parts per hour. Over a full 10-hour workday, that adds up to at least approximately 500–600 high-quality die casting parts per machine per shift.
The ability to consistently produce about 500 die casting parts a day makes this process ideal for industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and consumer goods, where reliable volume is essential. Parts range from small hardware components to larger housings and brackets, all benefiting from the process’s repeatability and minimal need for secondary machining.
At Kinetic Die Casting Company, our skilled operators, well-maintained equipment, and quality-focused approach ensure that every one of those 500 daily parts meets your exact specifications. Whether you need prototypes, short runs, or ongoing production, we’re equipped to deliver efficiently and cost-effectively.
