Silcarb’s aluminium holding furnace technology continues to gain recognition in the pressure die casting industry. Bühler India has selected a Silcarb electric holding furnace to be showcased alongside its die casting machine at the Bühler Training Center in Bangalore, highlighting the long-standing performance and reliability of Silcarb furnaces in industrial operations.
This collaboration reflects over two decades of successful operation of Silcarb furnace systems in aluminium die casting plants across India and internationally.
Buhler Pressure Die-casting
Silcarb has a current population in excess of 1000 electric holding furnaces for pressure die casting. Many of these are operating on Buhler die-casting machines.
Buhler India, having observed the excellent performance over the last two decades of the Silcarb holding furnaces, decided to purchase and showcase the Silcarb furnace along with the Buhler die-casting machine in the BUHLER training center in India, Bangalore.
Electric holding furnaces play a critical role in aluminium pressure die casting operations by maintaining molten metal at the correct temperature before it is injected into casting dies. Reliable holding furnace performance ensures consistent metal quality and smooth operation of die casting machines.
Silcarb electric holding furnaces are designed to provide:
These features make them well suited for integration with high-performance die casting machines.
Silcarb has installed over 1000 electric holding furnaces worldwide, many of which are operating with Bühler pressure die casting machines, one of the most widely used die casting platforms in the automotive and manufacturing industries.
Over the past two decades, these furnaces have demonstrated:
Such reliability is critical in high-volume manufacturing environments where uninterrupted production is essential.
The installation of a Silcarb furnace at the Bühler Training Center in Bangalore allows operators and engineers to experience the combined performance of Bühler die casting machines and Silcarb furnace systems.
Training centers such as this provide hands-on learning for:
This collaboration highlights the compatibility and performance of Silcarb furnace systems within advanced die casting setups.
Silcarb designs and manufactures a wide range of aluminium melting and holding furnace systems, including:
These systems are engineered to deliver efficient metal handling, reliable temperature control, and long operational life.
