Simplicity meets Excellence

YIZUMI proudly hosts a remarkable new product launch for its innovative 2-platen die casting machine in Foshan, China. The event attracts a distinguished audience of industry leaders, authoritative experts, elites from across the industrial chain and media representatives, all gathered to witness a transformative moment for the entire die casting industry.

Development trend in industry: 2-platen large die casting machines

In recent times, the growing demands from industries such as automotive, telecommunications, electric power, and industrial automation have increased the need for high-pressure die casting parts, prompting a shift toward larger-scale die casting parts and more complex processes. These evolving demands have set higher standards for machine manufacturers, accelerating the development of more efficient and precise die casting technologies.

YIZUMI has always been committed to providing more advanced and higher ROI molding equipment systems and solutions to global customers. With an unwavering focus on innovation in die casting technologies, YIZUMI aims to lead the industry's evolution.

“The global die casting market is expected to grow significantly, reaching over 100 billion US-dollars by 2030. High-pressure die casting parts will account for about 60 billion US-dollars of this market. This growth is largely due to new electric vehicle designs and a greater focus on sustainability”, Stefan Fritsche, deputy general manager and CSO of YIZUMI Die Casting Machine Division, says at the launch. He highlights the key factors driving market growth and outlines impending changes and developments in the die casting industry.

Stefan emphasizes that the emergence of 2-platen large die casting machines represents a significant trend in the industry. Overcoming these challenges will be crucial for Chinese die casting manufacturers aiming to achieve new breakthroughs. Amid the rapid expansion of the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry, YIZUMI has strategically unveiled the NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine to meet the growing demand for large-scale, high-quality die casting parts, especially in the production of large structural parts driven by new energy original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

Larry Wang, product and marketing management department director of YIZUMI Die Casting Machine Division, states that the successful reception of the LEAP series machines indicates that Chinese equipment manufacturers can achieve breakthroughs in core die casting technologies, promoting the further globalization of China's die casting industry.

Due to their robust dynamic injection capabilities, exceptional locking forces, and intelligent operational systems, the LEAP series die casting machines have received widespread acclaim across various industries, including engine blocks, gearboxes and integrated die casting parts for NEVs. Moreover, the LEAP series has set new benchmarks in global die casting technology by introducing the era of 100G acceleration for die casting machinery. This advancement unlocks limitless potential for producing more and thinner parts.

The NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine builds on the LEAP series' advanced and mature technical experience, overcoming some technical challenges that top European and American manufacturers have yet to address, potentially reviving the domestic and global die casting markets.

Committed to developing the best 2-platen die casting machine globally

At the launch event, Han Tao, product manager for 2-platen die casting machine in the product and marketing management department of YIZUMI die casting machine division, passionately highlights the value and advantages of the NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine.

He notes YIZUMI's unwavering commitment to developing the world's best 2-platen die casting machine. As a testament to this ambition, the NEXT² series machine sets new standards in design philosophy, technological innovation, performance, and value creation, propelling the entire industry into a new era of 2-platen machinery.

Han Tao further underlines that the NEXT² series machine's core competitive advantage lies in its integration of numerous proprietary technologies, which have disrupted the historical technological monopoly of top manufacturers. This breakthrough has created unparalleled competitiveness and production efficiency through its pioneering RAPTOR multi-cylinder locking unit, Dolphin intelligent and easy-to-use control system, and Yi-Cast high-speed injection unit.

Notably, the RAPTOR multi-cylinder locking unit, a truly advanced technology developed by YIZUMI and strengthened by the China-European technical platform, embodies YIZUMI's commitment to "think tech forward". It effectively addresses challenges inherent in 2-platen machine clamping unit, such as prolonged die locking and pressure buildup times, and difficulties associated with deep-cavity die openings.

The NEXT² series machine provides exceptional energy consumption. It integrates the successful LEAP servo + feeding pump station system with the precise Yi-Cast high-speed injection unit. Guided by the accurate Dolphin intelligent and easy-to-use control system, these components work together to reduce overall energy consumption by an impressive 50% when compared to conventional die casting machines. This translates into significant savings for customers, highlighting YIZUMI's strong technological expertise.

Furthermore, the NEXT² series machine has four core features: agility, smartness, precision, and economy. Together, it meets a wide range of customer needs. It allows for real-time monitoring of production situations, automatically optimizing manufacturing processes, ensuring even distribution of locking force, boosting productivity while reducing floor space and material costs.

So far, the NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine has successfully completed over 100,000 shots and is already being used to produce structural parts in customer facilities, delivering world-class performance in key indicators.

Advancing molding solutions to achieve global top 3 objectives

By 2030, YIZUMI aims to be among the top five manufacturers of injection molding machines, the top three for die casting machines, and the top two for rubber injection machines. With an unwavering focus on the ambitious goal, YIZUMI die casting machine division has been relentlessly innovating.

The newly launched NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine marks another groundbreaking achievement following the successful rollout of the LEAP series in 2021. This latest release showcases YIZUMI's strong development capabilities and aspiration to drive industry transformation and evolution.

At the launch event, Dr. Zhou Jun, deputy managing director and CTO of YIZUMI, and general manager of YIZUMI die casting machine division, outlines YIZUMI's forward-looking strategy, stating: "Moving forward, we are committed to implementing comprehensive enhancements across various domains, including technology, product, market, customer, production, and operations. These upgrades are designed to elevate our die casting technology, product quality, delivery efficiency, service standards, and operational effectiveness. With steadfast determination, YIZUMI is vigorously pursuing a top 3 global ranking in the die casting machine industry."

Next, YIZUMI has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Wuxi Langshion Lightweight Technology Co., Ltd. to order two NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machines, including 1800T and 3500T models.

During the unveiling ceremony, guests are treated to the spectacular debut of the NEXT² series 2-platen die casting machine. After the unveiling, guests are invited on an exclusive tour of the YIZUMI ultra large die casting machine factory and research center for die casting and metal molding, gaining a full grasp of YIZUMI's remarkable technological expertise and pioneering spirit in die casting technology.
