ECM WC KIT 1 HIGH PRESSURE CASTING MACHINE / CELL
The ECM WC KIT High Pressure Casting Machine / Cell is a modular sanitary ware solution for 3-, 4- and 5-part open-rim and rimless WC production. Independent casting modules, model-specific mould control and integrated robotic greenware handling create a flexible cell that connects high-pressure casting with controlled demoulding, resting, finishing and downstream transfer

Independent WC Kit Module Architecture
Each WC KIT operates as an individually configurable high-pressure casting module within a common cell automation system. The architecture supports 3-, 4- and 5-part open-rim and rimless WC moulds, while different models can be assigned to individual modules.
Individually Controlled Mould Kinematics
Lateral, upper and lower mould sections are controlled according to the requirements of the installed model rather than relying on one fixed closing sequence. A dedicated fifth-part movement architecture was also redesigned and validated during development to improve parallel movement and eliminate previously observed play and deflection.
Active-Frame Airbag Mould Clamping
The resin mould is supported by a dedicated active-frame structure, while industrial airbags provide clamping across the required mould sections. The developed pressure protection system prevents excessive airbag expansion, reducing unnecessary load on mould connection components.
Recipe-Based Casting and Utility Control
PLC-based automation manages casting sequences together with slip, air, water and vacuum functions. Dedicated HMI pages provide kit, process, valve and recipe control, allowing process settings to be configured around the requirements of each product.
Integrated Robotic Greenware Handling
The robotic cell combines product-specific demoulding tooling with automatic tool changing, resting racks and shuttle stations. Developed handling solutions cover unloading, temporary storage, product repositioning and transfer toward finishing and greenware trolley operations.
Independently Controlled Rim Casting Module
An optional dedicated rim module extends the cell for complex WC concepts requiring separately cast rim components. The module has its own high-pressure casting automation and a controlled tilting mechanism that can position the mould between 0° and 90° according to the casting process.
