The use of zinc and die-casting technology in sanitary engineering consistently yields top-tier technical results. This application area places particular demands on surface design, dimensional stability, and tolerance accuracy. The AQUAHALO cover ring, part of a premium experience shower, offers three water jet settings and integrated spotlights. In addition to the chrome finish, copper and stainless steel finishing options are available. Casting the complex ring geometry with its thin walls presents a significant challenge. Due to the ring’s shape and size, the component is difficult to fill. The surface is characterized by excellent finish, free of visible sink marks, and functional details such as mounting holes and clips. This award-winning casting offers a cost-effective alternative to mechanically milled methods.
