1、 The position of the die-casting workshop in the overall layout of the factory
A complete die-casting production enterprise should have production workshops, auxiliary workshops, power facilities, warehouses and transportation, administrative management, and logistics to operate normally. And a product factory also has organic processing workshops, assembly workshops, and other workshops. The position of the die-casting workshop in the overall layout of the factory should consider the following points:
1. The die-casting workshop belongs to the hot processing workshop and produces a lot of smoke. From the perspective of environmental protection, the die-casting workshop should be arranged in the downwind area of the dominant wind direction in summer, and far away from the factory entrance; It should not be adjacent to forging and sand casting workshops.
2. Considering the convenience of transportation for castings, it is advisable to keep them as close as possible to the machining workshop.
3. According to the production scale, technological level, and development potential of our factory, it is advisable to leave room for development.
4. To create a good working environment, natural ventilation and natural lighting should be fully utilized, avoiding direct sunlight. The longitudinal axis of the factory's skylight should be at a 60-90 ° angle to the dominant summer wind direction to facilitate the discharge of smoke and harmful gases.
5. According to fire prevention requirements, there should be a certain distance between the die-casting workshop and adjacent buildings, and there should be a fire truck driving road around the workshop.
6. The magnesium alloy die-casting workshop should be an independent single story building, and the workshop floor should be higher than other floors.

2、 Layout of Die Casting Workshop
1. Principles of Plane Layout
1) The layout of the workshop should first consider the smooth and compact flow of materials (furnace materials, molten metal, castings, and pouring systems, etc.) to avoid back and forth transportation.
2) While fully utilizing the workshop area, consideration should be given to the maintenance of die-casting machines, as well as the installation, disassembly, maintenance, and storage of die-casting molds.
3) The main production departments (die-casting, melting) should be arranged in places with good lighting and ventilation.
4) The location of the office should ensure convenient access for staff and a good working environment. The living room should avoid passing through the workshop before reaching the living room.
2. Layout of Die Casting Department
1) The layout of die-casting machines should be centrally arranged according to their scale. For die-casting workshops with high automation, it is advisable to arrange them according to the units for production management.
2) According to the factory conditions and the size of the die-casting machine, single row layout and double row (multi row) layout can be adopted. The die-casting machine can be arranged vertically or parallel to the workshop wall. Regardless of the arrangement method, the distance from the most protruding part of the die-casting machine to the wall should not be less than 1 meter, the pedestrian walkway in the workshop should not be less than 1.5 meters, and the transportation channel for electric bicycles should not be less than 3 meters.
3) There should be sufficient distance between two die-casting machines according to the size of the die-casting machine, the number of surrounding equipment, casting fixtures, and the placement of residual materials in the gate, to ensure the operation and maintenance of the equipment, mold assembly and cleaning, and worker operation requirements. Protective nets and metal partitions should be set up around the die-casting machine as needed.
4) There should be lifting equipment in the die-casting workshop to facilitate the lifting of molds and die-casting machine components.
5) Fully consider the physiological factors of operators, ensure sufficient workspace, a good working environment, and occupational safety and health measures.
