Company in the building sector for plastics molds
For the automation sector, specializing in the manufacture of bimaterial molds

Founded in 1989 thanks to the brothers Luigino and Sante Cippitelli, Italmetal specializes at first only in the production of buckles and metal accessories for leather goods, quickly establishing itself as an important supplier for several national and international companies.
Parallel to the production of accessories for leather goods, the company gives life to a technical department of design and development CAD-CAM for prototypes and moulds in steel, reaching important positions also in the production of technical details in zamak, in particular for the industry of furniture, automation and accessories.

Currently the company, spread over a covered area of 5,000 square meters and with a workforce of 40 employees, is able to provide a complete service that goes from the study of the product up to the production of the same, passing through all the phases of the process work, which are carried out almost completely within the company itself.

The types of processes that Italmetal can offer are almost exclusively addressed to the injection moulding sector. The two main production sectors are:

Design and production of injection moulds for zamak and plastic materials. In the various phases that constitute the birth of an egg produced, the realization of the mould represents a crucial moment that will influence all the subsequent production phases of the product. The Molds department designs and manufactures moulds both for third parties and for internal needs. The department consists of a technical office that analyzes and studies the equipment commissioned to verify the times and technical specifications, and a modern workshop that follows all the construction phases. Together with the Stamping department, it carries out the testing of the equipment made up to the final set-up.

Zamak moulding. The Stamping department, in addition to testing the equipment produced by the moulds department, takes care of the moulding and all the subsequent processing steps to which the parts are submitted before delivery. The technologies used in the department are two, by die-casting and by centrifugal moulding.
Die-casting is used for the production of parts with high runs and for the production of technical parts with reduced dimensional tolerances, the centrifugal moulding is used for the realization of medium / small series and "pilot" parts.

In almost 30 years of activity in the field of accessories production, the company has gained experience and expertise in the matter to be able, for each new project, to define with accuracy and safety the problems that may occur in the various production processes and consequently, advise the customer on the most suitable solutions to simplify or prevent these problems.
Our strong point is this, a deep knowledge of the problems related to the development of new products, supported by years of experience and the use of the latest technology, which allow us to solve technical problems before the launch of the order and update our customers in real time already in the pre-industrialization phase of the product.

Company History:
1965, shortly after his master's examination, the present owner and manager Manfred Kappes became self-employed and dropped two apprentices the foundation for the Kappes Maschinenbau GmbH and the metal casting GmbH in Pfaffhausen / Bavaria and Alko cast aluminum GmbH in drive / Thuringia.
Now, in these three companies employs about 100 people and shed more than 500 tonnes of aluminum a year. This exclusively as gravity die in gravity die at a weight from 0.003 to 45 Kg

The most common alloys are Al Si 7 Mg (wa), Al Si 9 Mg (wa), Al Si 11 Mg (wa), Zn Al 10 Si 8 Mg, Al, Si and Al 12 Si 8 Cu 3

A powerful tool manufacturing with advanced 3D - CAD / CAM system and CNC machines and EDM is able to implement the short-term customer needs.

With 24 CNC - lathes and machining centers to process the Alugussteile in shifts finished. The high level of customer satisfaction in terms of quality and reliability make us confident to survive the challenges ahead.
Many of our customers now use the offer to bring our experience in the development of new castings.
We maintain, now 2600 products for our customers and deliver 10% to other European countries.Our clientele include the engineering, sun protection technology, Elektronikbau, vehicle and vehicle bodies, construction, air gun manufacturers, the German Federal Railways, facade, ladders and scaffolding manufacturer, drying plant manufacturers, car wash builders, equipment manufacturers and many more.

Tooling / Kokillenbau:
The duration of the form that the mold is made of steel or cast iron. Undercuts can be formed with trains, loose parts or sand cores. The sand cores are destroyed after casting.
Of course, composite casting is that doable with cast steel parts or threaded brass bushes.
Before casting, the molds are sized, that is, provided with a layer of clay, carbon black or the like. Compared to sand casting, the cooling rates in gravity casting due to the higher thermal conductivity of cast iron against sand are significantly higher. This results in a relatively fine-grained and dense structure, the better mechanical properties than sand cast from the same aluminum alloy.

Foundry:
Permanent mold casting is poured by hand, usually with the aid of hydraulic cylinders, the mold
opened. The caster takes the part, includes the shape and pours again.
- Hot swap
- Supernatants and ridges are ground
- X-ray control
