We aim for "zero defects"

Risk-based thinking and preventive approach is what set us apart:

 our operators are trained to apply risk-based thinking to every operation.

Do it right the first time is our motto:

 we aim to do things right and prevent mistakes, zero-defect products is the ultimate goal.

Alpress is innovation-driven:

 we are constantly looking for new, state-of-the-art equipment to ensure the best quality, quantity and results. 

Our process in a nut-shell

Step 1       Metal procurement and storage

Step 2       Melting of alloys

Step 3       Transfer of molten metal to HPDC machine-integrated holding furnaces

Step 4       Die-casting

Step 5       Shot blasting, and/or any outsourced machining

Step 6       Storage at warehouse/Dispatch

Step 7       Shipping

Quality controls on every item are applied throughout production (spectrometry, dimensional checks, hardness, CT scan and tomography testing).

Our in-house tool room allows us to repair, clean, and perform routine maintenance on the molds in our facility, reducing downtime and keeping the molds in the highest level of quality.

The Furnace Department

The department houses 5 last generation, gas-fired melting furnaces with melting capacity ranging from 1000 kg to 3000 g/h and digital control for temperature management, which shows both the required temperature and current metal temperature.

The molten metal is fed to machines encompassing n. 2 die-casting areas (foundry 1 and foundry 2), which house 14 die-casting HPDC machines.

The Die-casting Department | The Foundries

The die-casting departments house 14 HPDC die-casting machines, each machine is connected to a PLC system, while data are captured and processed in real time. 

Each press (Maico – OMS presses) is equipped with built-in automatic trimming and robotic arm, with closing force ranging from 400 to 2350t in order to guarantee the highest-quality products in every industry that we serve.
