SCL forayed into the area of LPDC as a part of its overall strategy of acquiring contemporary die casting technology. This foray augments SCL capability of providing engineering solutions for die cast components, all under one roof.

It has a state-of-art cylinder head casting facility at Hosur with a production capacity of 300 thousand units per annum, using twin cavity LPDC machines with bridge assisted core pull outs, out of which 4 nos. are mounted on a bridge helping in a smooth positive withdrawal of castings from the gate. The LPDC facility is also equipped with sate-of-art-core making and de-coring facilities. The LPDC machine can accommodate dies upto 900mm by 600mm.Direct measurement spectrometers are used for instantaneous checking of chemistry of aluminium alloy used.
