Aluminum Die Casting–Why Use It!
Aluminum Die Casting–Why Use It! Many materials can be used in various metalworking processes including in the popular method of die casting. The most preferred materials for die casting are non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, zinc, copper, lead, magnesium and tin-based alloys. Many manufacturers, nonetheless, favor aluminum die casting because of several advantages.
Manufacturers are able to parlay the metal’s beneficial characteristics by opting for aluminum die casting. For one, aluminum is light in weight but possesses good mechanical properties. Parts with thin walls and complex shapes can be produced at excellent quality and strength by using aluminum alloy. Even at high temperatures, the metal also retains its strength. Aluminum also offers good resistance to corrosion and provides high electrical and thermal conductivity needed in many parts of consumer and industrial products.
Owing to these basic properties, aluminum die casting can produce stronger and more durable components. The malleability of aluminum also allows the production of parts that could be applied with varying types of textures, resulting in fewer finishing touches needed for the end-products.
Aluminum die casting can likewise easily mass-produce parts already tailor-fit for assembly, complete with holes, bosses or studs. These features would contribute to less labor costs and a more efficient production line.

Kinetic Die Casting Company and Continental Eagle Corporation
Kinetic Die Casting Company was contacted by C&D Die Casting Company that was in Chatsworth California in November 2004 (History of Kineticdc). C&D was letting us know that many of their customers were needing aluminum die casting parts.
One of those customers was:
Continental Eagle Corporation (coneagle.com).
Postal Address: Post Office Box 1000 Prattville, Alabama 36067-1000 USA
Location Address: 201 Gin Shop Hill Road Prattville , Alabama 36067-1000 USA
Telephone: (334) 365-8811 Facsimile: (334) 361-7627
We produced many aluminum ring spacer parts made from aluminum die casting parts for Continental Eagle over the years since 2004.
Here is an excerpt from their website (coneagle.com): Continental Eagle Corporation, located in Prattville, Alabama U.S.A., manufactures and markets worldwide a premier line of cotton ginning, cotton processing and handling equipment. Continental Eagle has a complete network of sales and service facilities located throughout the United States cotton belt and in the cotton producing areas of the world.

Continental Eagle’s IMPCO division, based in Prattville, Alabama manufactures machinery for the oilseeds processing industry.
Sadly, it seems that Continental Eagle is no longer in business. We still have the die casting tooling that makes the aluminum die casting spacer rings if anyone picks up the business and needs parts. We are saddened at the loss of another American business. Please contact us if you have any details for Continental Eagle Company.

The Uses and Needs of Aluminum Boxes
Aluminum Boxes Uses and Needs. When it comes to storage options, most people prefer to go the plastic or wooden way since of the ease and convenience. But rising trends indicate that more people, especially the men are longing for metallic boxes more because of several factors that include strength and durability. An Aluminum box is the best when you are looking for durable storage. Aluminum has two qualities that make it the metal of choice. It is light and easy to work with, but it is also strong and very durable. In the world of storage and body building, that is a magic combination.
There are different uses that you can put aluminum boxes into and it all depends on your intentions. Most of these are used in storing equipment when taking a road trips since they are strong enough to hold when things get a little bumpy. Some have taken to making these boxes large enough to make a little enclosure at the back of pick up trucks. Their workability is what makes aluminum the metal of choice. In the making of large transportation enclosures especially of animals, it is aluminum that is preferred. It does not add too much weight and that is the main reason whey it is chosen.
But when it comes to household settings, these boxes receive a fair share of attention too. Some are made small for storage of collections such as magazines and comic books. The aluminum boxes make for excellent storage since they protect the enclosed material from the elements for a couple of years. Besides, they are made rust proof which makes them more durable. For mailboxes, heavy duty or not, the aluminum boxes are excellent at carrying out the function with little flaw. One big advantage of using aluminum boxes is that they are good at taking sudden impact. Keeping away water, dust and moisture are other key advantages. If you want to store electronic components, you should use aluminum boxes since they keep away radio frequencies and Electromagnetic inductance. However to make sure that this is achieved there need be aluminum die casting so that the conductivity can work to your advantage.
Findings indicate that aluminum is about a third the weight of steel which means some boxes will be easy for you to carry. Aluminum boxes can be found with ease since there is availability of the metal in most places. They are not too expensive given their qualities. Besides, they are not easy to break into and that means that they are good at keeping thieves away. If an aluminum box was to be placed on the outside, away from shelter, it is able to withstand every kind of force that nature throws at it. In light with that, it is easy to understand why one would feel the obligation to get an aluminum box.
Next time you are out searching for a storage container or box, think aluminum and you can rest assured that you will not be disappointed.

Original HPM Die Casting Machines
MOUNT GILEAD, OHIO — Former HPM owner Christopher Filos pleaded guilty to the company’s failure to pay taxes on Aug. 21, just days before his trial was scheduled to begin in Morrow County Common Pleas Court.
Filos, 47, signed off on the arrangement before Judge Howard Hall, and agreed to pay at least $261,500 worth of unpaid state and local taxes. That total includes $44,687 to the village of Mount Gilead, and at least $216,811 in state taxes.
Morrow County Prosecutor Charles Howland said the state tax bill is likely to be higher, after adding in penalties for nonpayment. Filos has 24 months to pay the state of Ohio, according to the agreement.
All the taxes were withheld from HPM workers’ paychecks.
In court, Filos agreed to pay.
“I am paying for the village now,” he told the judge. Those local taxes are due Sept. 13. Filos also said he will pay the state taxes, once that amount is finalized.
Filos’ trial was scheduled to begin on Aug. 24. That trial has been canceled since he pleaded guilty — but the judge said he would hold a hearing Sept. 29, and that Filos faces jail time and fines if the taxes are not being paid.
Filos is president of Taylor’s Industrial Services LLC of New Jersey, which bought the assets of HPM in 2001. The aging factory, which made injection molding machines, extruders and die casting equipment, closed in December 2009, sat unused, and then the contents were auctioned in early 2011.
At the Aug. 21 court hearing, Filos pleaded guilty to three counts under what is known as a bill of information. He waived his right to a jury trial. He entered guilty pleas on behalf of Taylor’s Industrial Services for failing to pay the state and local taxes. Filos pleaded guilty as an individual for a charge of failure to pay taxes withheld.
Prosecutor Howland and Tom Elkin, Morrow County assistant prosecutor, said the agreement means Filos will pay the state and local taxes owed.
For Mount Gilead officials, the tax payment agreement signals that the HPM saga is winding down. The firm was founded in 1877 to make apple presses. HPM became a pioneering U.S. manufacturer of injection molding machines — at one time employing hundreds of people in the small town.
The HPM name lives on in nearby Marion, Ohio, at HPM North America Corp., which sells injection presses and die-casting machinery made in China by its owner, Guangdong Yizumi Precision Machinery Co. Ltd. Several former HPM employees work at HPM North America. Yizumi bought the intellectual property of HPM at the auction in Mount Gilead.
Filos and Taylor’s face a separate case in Morrow County Common Please Court for allegedly illegal storage of hazardous waste at the plant. The Environmental Protection Agency cleaned up the HPM property. In December, Judge Hall approved the sale of the building to a company that is redeveloping it.
