Kurtz Casting Solutions with GIGA Solutions at EUROGUSS in Nuremberg

At the 15th edition of EUROGUSS, Kurtz GmbH & Co. KG presented high-performance solutions for giga-casting. And was thus fully in line with the trend, as the demand for large-dimensioned chassis and structural parts is increasing, especially in the automotive industry.

In addition to giga-casting, the trade fair focused on topics such as the sustainable use of resources, rapid prototyping, and efficient services. Kurtz Casting Solutions focused especially on the topic of energy saving. There is potential for savings at many points in the casting process – whether in the furnace system, pressure maintenance (low pressure) or riser pipe system.

For example, a Kurtz casting line concept provides an energy-efficient shuttle transport system and avoids unnecessary internal transportation. Forklift traffic is eliminated, thus achieving a better CO2 footprint. With an intelligent hydraulic system, energy is only used as required. The same applies to the use of cooling media via sensor-controlled cooling systems. These are all factors that have a direct impact on energy and operating costs.

Reinforced by long-standing sales partners, Kurtz offered optimal support for interested parties and customers at its trade fair stand

Lothar Hartmann, General Manager of Kurtz Casting Solutions, expressed his satisfaction with the event: “With the low pressure technology, we offer a highly-efficient process for manufacturing chassis parts that outshines die casting and counter pressure die casting in many respects – that was well received.” With regard to trimming, he added: “Kurtz builds the fastest trimming presses on the market.

Together with large clamping surfaces and high cutting forces in presses that have already been built several times, Kurtz solutions have everything that is needed for the ever-shorter cycle times in the die casting cell. Trimming directly in the die casting cell has further advantages: less logistical effort, a shorter trimming process, and an overall more efficient process flow.” The trade fair was a success in terms of both quantity and quality – Kurtz Casting Solutions will definitely be back in 2026!
