At Protocast you can rely on professional and at the same time innovative processes for the production of high-quality zinc die-cast components.
Taking into account the highest precision and quality requirements, medium and large series can be cast reliably and highly economically, always in accordance with the specific requirements of the customer. The zinc die-casting process is predestined for the production of excellent components, which convince with a thin-walled wall thickness and at the same time high dimensional accuracy.
Whether in terms of sustainability, economy and reliability: the zinc die casting process combines many advantages of other casting processes – and is therefore the ideal solution in many specific applications.
But it’s best if you convince yourself!
Die-cast parts made of zinc are characterized by enormous stability and at the same time thin walls.
By means of zinc die casting, entire series of castings can be produced cost-effectively.
Zinc has excellent casting properties. The castings are therefore very consistent.
Castings made of zinc can be optimally adapted by means of surface refinement processes.
Zinc as a material is not consumed, but used – and convinces with optimal recycling properties.
By means of zinc die casting, particularly economical castings can be produced for the customer.
We give you an insight into our process for the production of first-class die-cast parts. From the inquiry to the final shipment, our processes have been completely digitalised and optimised. Our customers can therefore rely on the highest quality and fast processing of inquiries and orders in all production processes.

The zinc die casting process is predestined for the production of components with very thin-walled walls and at the same time high dimensional accuracy.
In this process, the liquid melt of a zinc alloy is poured into a die-casting mould under high pressure and at high speed.
An advantage of the zinc die-casting process is that the castings are of high precision, hardness and strength. Thus, this process – due to a relatively low melting point and a dense solidification interval – allows particularly tight tolerances and demanding surfaces to be implemented.
The cast products produced have excellent technical properties and a high degree of accuracy, so that no mechanical finishing is necessary.
Zinc die casting is a particularly sustainable process for the production of filigree cast products.
As with other die-casting processes, it is important to use energy and raw materials sparingly and in a resource-saving manner in order to increase the technological efficiency of the entire process.
Thus, zinc die-cast products are of high quality and are manufactured with precision. This eliminates the often time-consuming and cost-intensive reworking of the components, which – in addition to time and costs – saves energy and resources.
Furthermore, zinc as a material is not consumed but used. Even after the application – i.e. the end of the useful phase – the zinc can be collected and recycled so that it can be used again as zinc alloy for zinc die casting. There is no loss of quality, so that zinc can be used again and again.
However, most zinc products are guaranteed to be safe for long-term use in the respective application, so it takes a while before a zinc product becomes a zinc raw material again.
Zinc is being used in more and more areas of our lives. Among other things, modern die-casting processes, with which high-quality products can be manufactured on the basis of zinc, are partly responsible for this.
Zinc die-casting processes are being used more and more, especially in applications requiring high stability and quantities.
Whether fittings, handles, switches or or panels – zinc alloys can be precisely cast into almost any desired shape.
In addition, surface structures can be integrated during the casting process to give the later cast part an attractive appearance.
Zinc die casting processes also offer excellent conditions for further optimizing the later cast product with a surface finish and thus adapting it to the customer’s application in the best possible way.
Thus, the cast parts made of zinc produced by Protocast are excellently suited for galvanic surface refinement. Here you can choose between general coatings, which serve the corrosion resistance, as well as special coatings – such as chrome or nickel plating.
All surfaces refined by us naturally meet the highest optical and haptic requirements.
The zinc die casting process is not necessarily ‘better’ than other die casting processes. Depending on the respective application, the use of the zinc die-casting process can offer the customer advantages for the purpose of application-specific adaptation of the workpiece.
A major advantage of zinc die casting is the low melting temperature of 420°C, whereas the melting temperature of aluminium die casting is 650°C.
This low melting temperature in turn has an effect on the entire casting process and the equipment used for it.
The hot-chamber process can be used here, which – in addition to a lower energy input for the casting process and an increased production rate – leads to a considerably lower share of costs for casting.
A further advantage of zinc die casting compared to other die casting processes is an extended mould service life.
When choosing a suitable casting process, you can rely on comprehensive advice from our experienced engineers.
We offer our customers high-quality zinc die-cast products made to measure, which are exactly adapted to the individual requirements of our customers.
In addition to precise castings with the narrowest tolerances and demanding surfaces, our zinc die casting processes guarantee the customer a long service life of the manufactured tool.
We also attach great importance to using as few materials as possible, which on the one hand is easy on our customers’ wallets and on the other hand ensures the long-term existence of our environment.
Thus, our zinc die casting solutions are aimed at providing added value to the customer, which in the long run increases the profitability of their business.
We therefore offer high-quality, comprehensive zinc die-casting solutions that are manufactured with precision down to the last detail, at a low price and with low material consumption.
In addition to the conception and development of high-quality zinc die-casting products, we are also happy to be your first point of contact for all questions regarding zinc die-casting and to provide you with comprehensive advice.
