Question by: Dwayne A on Jun 12, 2025, 6:50 AM

Flow rate on this one says 114 litres per minute -- is that enough for most press and die casting setups, or do bigger machines usually need something higher?

Answer by: Customer Support on Jun 14, 2025, 6:04 AM

For the majority of industrial press and die casting applications, 114 litres per minute is a solid working capacity. Most standard press circuits and die casting equipment operate well within that range, so unless you're running an unusually high-demand system, this valve handles the flow without being pushed to its limits. The three- or four-way directional control also gives you flexibility depending on how your circuit is laid out.

Reckon this valve'd be alright for a die casting machine?

This DG18V4-012C-10 valve is indeed suitable for die casting and foundry equipment applications. It's also designed for machine tools, presses, and other industrial equipment, so it should hold up well.
