OMR zamak processing department: from the raw material to the finished piece.
The production process of zamak pieces begins with the foundry. The raw material is melted in a furnace and brought to a liquid state, then the second phase of the injection takes place, in which the molten zamak alloy is injected into a pressure mould. This creates parts with a precise and repeatable shape in large quantities. Then the newly made piece falls into a container together with the waste from which it is manually separated before the last finishing phase, when the parts are smoothed to remove any imperfections and make the surface more homogeneous. This phase can be carried out either manually or with the aid of specialized machines and equipment. Once the finishing is complete, the pieces are ready for assembly.
