Automatic Centrifugal Casting Equipment
Automated production of parts in silicone molds
Automatic C3S PRO Equipment
The C3S PRO is a technology developed by CONIEX with the objective of obtaining maximum productivity and quality in the production of parts by casting in silicone molds. The design and development of this machine for automated centrifugal casting has been made possible thanks to CONIEX’s more than 40 years of experience in the sector.
Our centrifugal casting machine is equipped with a rotary plate changing system and a robotic arm for automatic metal feeding, which operates from the melting furnace to the casting point. A mold identification system using 2D Datamatrix codes allows PLC programmed production to be accurate and avoids the need for any manual adjustment.
This system offers a high production capacity, which can reach up to 6 casts per minute depending on the part, a reduction in operator fatigue and occupational hazards, a substantial improvement in quality and a reduction in operating costs.
The installation is controlled by a Siemens PLC and is equipped with all safety measures.

Metal feeder system
Robotic arm for automatic metal pouring, controlled via PLC.
Prevents slag from entering the casting process thanks to its design: always clean metal.
The ladle capacity is approximately 1 kg of metal, preventing temperature loss during transfer from the furnace/crucible to the pouring point.
The PLC allows programming and precise monitoring of its position at all times, and the system is equipped with safety sensors throughout all operations.
Allows temporary stops with manual emptying into the crucible, while maintaining temperature to quickly resume pouring operations.

Take control of your production with PLC
Increase your productivity: less waste
Our C3SPRO centrifugal casting machine is designed to increase both the production capacity and the final quality of the manufactured parts.
One of the key elements in the whole process is the robotic arm for automatic metal casting, which is controlled through the PLC. This arm offers the following benefits:
- It avoids the incorporation of slag into the melt thanks to its design, ensuring that the metal poured into the mold is always clean.
- The ladle capacity is approximately 1 kg of metal, so there is no temperature loss during the transfer from the furnace/cryocooler to the casting point.
- The PLC is programmed and its exact position is known at all times and has safety sensors in all its operations.
- It allows temporary stops with manual emptying of the crucible and maintenance of the temperature for quick start-up of the casts.
The C3SPRO machine incorporates a PLC system that allows us to take control of all stages of part production:
- Spin speed (rpm)
- Spin time
- Closing pressure
- More than 5000 recipes
- Direction of rotation
In addition, a correct configuration of all parameters will allow us to increase productivity and reduce waste:
- Mold temperature reading
- Amount of metal per mold
- Less recasting of castings
- Number of programmed washes
- Repeated mold warning
