DISAMATIC C5 is here. Ultra-reliable, medium-format DISA molding line launches in China
DISA has launched the DISAMATIC C5 vertical, green-sand moulding line. Designed in Denmark and manufactured in China, the new medium-format C5 is built for maximum uptime and productivity at an affordable price point.
Able to produce 400 uncored and 340 cored moulds per hour, the DISAMATIC C5’s high output, increased yields, and low total cost of ownership give foundries full return on their investment in as little as a year after purchase.
“Ambitious Chinese foundries can now upgrade to a premium 800 x 600 moulding line that will take their business to the next level of success,” says Lars Hjelm, Global Product Manager at DISA “The cost-optimized DISAMATIC C5 is even faster and requires even less maintenance than our popular DISAMATIC C3 . It’s an exceptional combination of affordability and high-end DISA quality that delivers growth and rapid ROI.”
Upgrade to DISA quality
Based in Skoczów and part of the global Teksid iron casting group, the Polish foundry casts over 50,000 tons of iron annually for the automotive sector. Teksid had produced over 28 million moulds on its 40-year-old DISAMATIC 2130 and was still happy with its speed and quality, as well as DISA’s service support.
But although DISA is famous for supporting legacy machines and still supplies most 2130 spare parts, replacement PLCs and other upgrades, some components were becoming hard to find. That risked serious downtime and supply chain problems for Teksid’s clients.
“As well as the high cost of downtime, the new castings we were about to produce required very reliable production,” says Dawid. “We simply couldn’t afford to stop production for days or weeks – we needed to know our production line would keep running.”
Teksid decided to install a new DISAMATIC D5 moulding line. Based on the revolutionary D3 platform, the D5’s multiple innovations and cutting-edge technology deliver the fastest throughputs and maximum uptime for large castings. With three speeds up to 450 uncored moulds per hour, it combines premium mould quality with breathtaking speed, short-run flexibility and minimum maintenance.
Bigger, faster, more profit: make your next line a DISA
A direct‑fit replacement for older 800 × 600 machines and able to use their pattern plates, the compact DISAMATIC C5 can be installed quickly and easily by the local DISA team. New C5 owners also become members of DISA’s industry-leading aftermarket network, with its expert local technicians and rapid spare parts support.
Digital-ready with a pre-installed NoriGate, the C5 can be further enhanced by adding accessories like an Automatic Coresetter (CSE) or a Quick Pattern Change (QPC) unit.
“This is a whole new machine, designed from scratch for maximum performance and engineered afresh for minimum cost. No other medium-format moulding machine combines this level of reliability with high speed and low price,” says Lars. “We have Chinese customers where a single DISA line produces more molds than two competitor machines combined. If you want to work 24/7 and produce millions of molds every year, make your next line a DISAMATIC C5. It really pays to join the DISA family.”
The first DISAMATIC C5, a prototype, is already pledged to a Chinese customer: Niusu Science & Technology Co’s greenfield foundry project.
