The cost of an Aluminium alloy road studs die casting machine depends on factors like clamping force, automation level, and additional features. Based on the search results, here’s a detailed breakdown:
1. Machine Cost by Clamping Force
Aluminum road studs are typically small parts, requiring mid-sized machines (160T–500T clamping force). Prices vary by capacity:
- Smaller Machines (160T–280T):
- 38,500–38,500–64,500 per unit .
- Example: A 280T cold chamber die casting machine for aluminum alloy parts .
- Mid-Range Machines (300T–500T):
- 77,210–77,210–118,540 per set .
- Example: Lanson’s LS400 (400T) or LS500 (500T) models .
- Larger Machines (800T–1000T+):
- Up to $208,130 for heavy-duty applications, though unnecessary for standard road studs .
2. Key Cost Drivers
- Automation:
- Fully automated systems (e.g., auto ladle, robotic extractors) add 20–30% to the base price .
- Tooling:
- Custom molds for road studs cost 10,000–10,000–50,000+, depending on complexity .
- Material Compatibility:
- Machines optimized for aluminum alloys (e.g., A380, ADC12) may cost slightly more than general-purpose models .
3. Additional Expenses
- Secondary Processes:
- CNC machining, surface finishing (anodizing, powder coating), and quality inspections add $5–20 per unit .
- Maintenance:
- Annual upkeep (e.g., die refurbishment, hydraulic system checks) costs 5–10% of the machine’s initial price .
4. Cost-Saving Tips
- Opt for Standardized Models:
- Pre-engineered machines (e.g., HAICHEN HCD 400-880T) reduce customization costs .
- Multi-Cavity Molds:
- Produce multiple road studs per cycle to lower per-unit costs .
- Bulk Purchasing:
- Suppliers like Ningbo Haichen or LK offer discounts for high-volume orders .

Haichen Aluminum Alloy Road Stud die casting machine？
The aluminum alloy road spike die-casting machine produced by Haichen belongs to the high-end cold chamber die-casting machine series:
1. Machine type and applicable materials
Haichen’s cold chamber die-casting machine is specially for die-casting of high melting point metals such as aluminum alloys and magnesium alloys.
Due to the high melting temperature of aluminum alloys (usually over 700°C), a cold chamber design is required to separate the injection chamber from the furnace to avoid high temperature damage to the hydraulic system.
2. Specific models and parameters
HCD 200-C model:
Detailed description of the 200-ton multifunctional cold chamber die-casting machine (HCD 200-C), with an extrusion force range of 99-250 kN, a die-casting thickness of 200-580 mm, and a maximum casting weight of 1.8 kg.
It is suitable for road spikes, automotive parts, hardware products and other fields, and can cover the production needs of transportation facility components.
HCD-C Series:
This series of cold chamber die casting machines has a clamping force of 2080 tons, and its flexibility and high precision can support the manufacturing of aluminum alloy road spikes with complex shapes.
At the same time, this series is suitable for medium-sized aluminum castings such as radiators, building materials and automotive accessories.
3. Technical advantages and design
High precision and stability:
Haichen die casting machine adopts Siemens PLC control system and ultra-quiet hydraulic circuit to achieve high-speed and high-pressure injection, ensuring the density and surface quality of castings.
Modular design:
The machine is equipped with adjustable mold stroke (maximum 370 mm) and injection push rod diameter (50/60 mm) to meet the needs of road spike molds of different sizes.
Safety and energy efficiency:
The system working pressure is 16 MPa, the motor power is 15 kW, and the energy-saving design is combined to reduce energy consumption. At the same time, it has passed CE certification and ISO 9001 standards to ensure operational safety.
4. Application Cases and Industry Coverage
Haichen cold chamber die-casting machines have been widely used in automotive parts (such as engine blocks, gearbox housings), LED lamp housings, building hardware and other fields.
As metal parts in traffic facilities, road spikes have a production process similar to the above products, and require high-pressure injection to achieve complex structure molding.
Haichen die-casting machines are used to produce “road studs”. Combined with the lightweight and corrosion-resistant characteristics of aluminum alloys, our high-precision cold chamber machines can be adapted to the mass production of aluminum alloy road studs.
5. Supporting services and experience
