Frequently Asked Questions about used IDRA
What is an IDRA die casting machine used for?
IDRA is an Italian manufacturer of die casting machines used in hot-chamber and cold-chamber processes for zinc, aluminium and magnesium parts. Typical applications are thin-walled, high-strength components with good surface quality and tight dimensional tolerances, for example in automotive and electrical engineering. Asset-Trade offers used IDRA die casting machines that undergo a multi-stage inspection before sale.
How do I choose between a hot-chamber and a cold-chamber IDRA machine?
Hot-chamber machines suit low-melting alloys such as zinc, while cold-chamber machines are used for aluminium and magnesium. The deciding factors are the casting alloy, part size, required clamping force and planned output volumes. A dedicated Asset-Trade project manager compares these requirements with you and presents suitable machines for on-site inspection and demonstration.
What does a used IDRA die casting machine cost?
The price depends on the clamping force, year of construction, equipment and condition of the specific machine, so flat-rate price figures are of little use. Compared with a new machine, savings on used equipment are typically in the range of 40 to 70 percent. Asset-Trade provides a free machine appraisal and a concrete offer based on it.
How is a used IDRA machine inspected before purchase?
Asset-Trade carries out a multi-stage inspection with functional tests on the main assemblies such as the clamping unit, shot unit and hydraulics. On request, the machine can be inspected and demonstrated at the previous owner's site or in the workshop. The inspection results are documented and shared with you before the purchase.
Can Asset-Trade ship an IDRA die casting machine abroad?
Yes, Asset-Trade arranges worldwide shipping and export, including the required documents and customs formalities. A dedicated project manager coordinates loading, schedules and communication with the freight forwarder. On request, Asset-Trade also supports commissioning and operator training on site.
What mistakes do buyers make with used IDRA machines, and what alternatives are there?
Common mistakes include choosing the wrong machine type for the intended alloy, buying without a functional test and overlooking wear on the shot chamber and hydraulics. Buyers also often fail to clarify whether dies, accessories and spare parts are available. Alternatives to IDRA include machines from other manufacturers, which Asset-Trade can present for direct comparison.
