Drumheller Industries
Drumheller Industries specializes in zinc parts die casting. Drumheller uses primarily #3 zinc (zamak) for their zinc die casting parts. They are located at 10967 Tuxford Street in Sun Valley, California 91352. Drumheller Die Casting Company has been in business for over 50 years. Drumheller Die Casting has made die cast tooling for the zinc die casting parts. Drumheller uses only unit dies as their die casting tooling.
Mr. Drumheller built his own “Hot Chamber Zinc Die Casting Machines”. Drumheller served his customers in their Zinc Die Casting Part needs by building two different die casting machine sizes to accommodate the two most common unit dies used in die casting.
The Drumheller Die Casting Machine is very interesting. It is a “horizontal” die casting machine. In other words, the die casting mold lays down flat in the machine and opens “up and down” verses the customary machines opening “left and right”. These machines have a special feature that allows for the part to be “die trimmed” in the die casting production cycle. This trimming saves time and money in the production of die casting parts.
Kinetic Die Casting Company works with Drumheller Industries on some projects. Kinetic Die Casting Company is happy to be available to anyone in their zinc and aluminum die casting needs. Call us today if we can be of service:

The Die Casting Part Production Process Explained.
What is the Die Casting Process? The Die Casting Part Production Process Explained.
Kinetic Die Casting Company uses a manufacturing process called “Die Casting” to make aluminum die casting parts and zinc die casting parts. But, what is the die casting part production process? Here is a GIF image I have on our home page to demonstrate:
demonstration of the die casting process
“Aluminum die casting is an aluminum metal parts production process where molten aluminum metal alloy is injected into a steel die, under extreme pressure, to manufacture aluminum parts” (Substitute the word “zinc” for “aluminum” in zinc die casting part production process)
Another GIF example example is on this web page:

Another demonstration of the die casting process
Cold Chamber Die Casting Process
The image pictured above depicts a Cold Chamber Die Casting Machine as it makes parts. The term “Cold Chamber Die Casting” refers to a separate metal melting furnace. The High Pressure Die Casting, cold chamber die casting process follows this sequence:
- Look at the die casting machine image above
- The die casting machine opens the die casting mold.
- The prior part is removed and the die cast mold is sprayed for the next part
- The aluminum is poured using a ladle into a shot cylinder
- The shot piston injects the metal into the die casting mold.
- The machine opens and the process starts again.
Contact Kinetic Die Casting Company for more information about the high pressure die casting process and about how to get great die casting parts at a great price and delivered quickly, no matter what quantity you need.

Die Casting
Die Casting. Die casting is a very ordinary method of producing metal parts. In the method of high pressure die casting, melted metal alloy such as aluminum alloy is inserted into a mold called a die like zinc die cast tooling. The metal is left in the steel mold until it hardens and then it is detached.
There are two types of machines that are utilized in die casting. First is the hot chamber machine, also called piston or gooseneck machine, and the second is the cold chamber machine. The hot chamber machine has the metal injection device, or gooseneck, submerged in the melted metal within the holding furnace. This machine works by having the gas or oil-powered piston retracted and allowing the melted metal to fill the gooseneck. The melted metal is then forced out of the gooseneck by the piston and the metal goes into the die. Not all metal alloys can be utilized in the hot chamber machine. Due to this, cold chamber die castings must be made. Aluminum and metals with high melting points like copper, magnesium, and zinc alloys require the cold chamber machine. The cold chamber machine does not have the piston absorbed in the melted metal. Before utilizing the cold chamber machine, the metal must be liquefied first in a disconnected furnace. Then the liquefied metal is brought to the cold chamber machine and injected into a cylinder and a hydraulic piston forces the metal into the die. Cold chamber die castings take longer to manufacture because the metal has to be melted in an separate furnace.
It doesn’t matter whether parts are hot chamber or cold chamber die castings. Both these products are completed using the magnificent manufacturing method known as die casting. Therefore, you will have products such as die cast speaker, aluminum die cast boxes, and aluminum heatsinks.
Kinetic Die Casting manufactures aluminum and zinc die casting parts. Samples of KDC’s work include die cast speaker parts, aluminum tile plates, and other die cast metal parts. If you would like to have a quote please visit our website: Kinetic Die Casting Company
How Die Casting Part Prices are Established
Die Casting Part Pricing – How Die Casting Part Prices are Established.
Kinetic Die Casting Company has a specific pricing model that is similar and also different from our competitors. Here are a few issues to think about when asking for a die casting part price.
- Die Casting Part Size
- Die Casting Part Weight
- Die Casting Material Type
- Inspection Requirements
- Die Casting Part Quantity
- Die Casting Part Tolerances
- Die Casting Part Specifications
- Die Casting Tooling Types
- Additional Labor Needs
- Die Casting Part Secondary Finishing
- Other Fees
The die casting part size and weight effect the part price in a few ways, cycle times or parts per hour, the machine tonnage size required to produce the parts and the part material cost, which also relates to the die casting material type.
The inspection requirements can vary depending on if a (1) visual inspection, or a (2) dimensional inspection or a (3) penetration inspection or an (4) X-Ray inspection or a (5) pressure test inspection are required.
The part quantity has an effect because it will determine if some of the many “one time” or “minimum charge” fees are covered in the production lot.
Die casting part specifications and tolerances add additional labor to a simple casting through inspection and documentation.
The die casting tool can effect the part price by how many cavities are in the tool, how many slides are in the tool, whether additional labor can be removed by the tool, and also if a trim die is available. The mold type also has an effect in the set up time for tooling.
Many times additional labor are needed to complete the die casting part, like threading holes, which also adds to the part cost. Can we use high speed production machining or do we need to use CNC machines.
If there is a polish, ball burnish, bead blast, paint or anodize requirement, that will add to the part cost.
Other fees, some die casting companies charge a “Set Up Fees” or an “Environmental Fees” or an “Energy Surcharge Fees” or a packaging or pallet fee, we do not have any of these hidden fees.
