T-MINTING LINE

COMPLETE LINE FOR MINTING COINS AND STAMPING BARS

A complete line of machinery and accessories, carefully selected according to the type and quantity of products to be made. From the melting of precious metal and sheet production to the packaging of "proof quality" bars and coins, the T-Minting Line is the ultimate solution for the growing needs of the bullion & refining sector.

WHAT ARE THE OPERATIONAL
PHASES IN MINTING?

01

SHEET PRODUCTION

The precious metal is melted and formed into a sheet. In this "preparation" phase, two key elements must be considered: the quantity of bars/coins to be produced and their sizes. The sheet obtained is the basic element for all subsequent mechanical processes.

1.1

Melting

Melting the metal and producing the sheet using continuous casting furnaces.

Brushing

1.2

Brushing

Elimination of oxidation, surface residues, dust, or impurities that may form during sheet production.

1.3

Rolling and annealing

Mechanical rolling of the sheet to reduce its thickness.
The thickness of the sheet from the melting department is reduced with successive passes through the roughing mill and finishing mill, used respectively for the initial thickness reduction and the final calibration of the same. This phase is essential to obtain a product of the highest quality and to reduce production waste.

The mechanical rolling is interrupted by annealing the metal in a controlled atmosphere using a specific annealing furnace.

Shearing

1.4

Shearing

Precision cutting with an adjustable shear to obtain the desired width.

The sheet obtained from rolling is brought to the desired width through a high-precision cut performed with an appropriate shear.

02

BLANK PRODUCTION

The sheet, previously brought to the desired thickness and width, is transformed into blanks, which are semi-finished products with the shape and size of the final product. After appropriate surface treatments, the blanks will be sent to the next minting phase.

Punching

2.1

Punching

Production of blanks with a specially equipped press.

Edging

2.2

Edging
Weighing

2.3

Weighing

The blanks are weighed on high-precision electronic scales. Underweight blanks are sent for remelting, while overweight blanks are calibrated with special manual tools.
The percentage of non-compliant blanks (underweight or overweight) determines the reliability of the line.

Finishing, washing and drying the blanks

2.4

Finishing, washing and drying the blanks

The obtained blanks may have imperfections resulting from mechanical punching, such as burrs, edge defects, etc.

To remove these imperfections, they are treated in special tumblers and/or vibrators that, with the action of ceramic, synthetic media, etc., combined with specific soaps, make the blanks perfect and ready for the ultrasonic washing phase, rinsing in demineralized water, and drying.

For this purpose, the T-Minting Line offers a variety of finishing and washing systems proportioned to production targets.

03

MINTING

The blanks obtained in the previous phases are ready to be minted and brought to their final form.

Minting

3.1

Minting

Minting of bars/coins with hydraulic minting press.

With the help of powerful hydraulic minting presses, the blanks with controlled weight and finish are inserted into the pressing area, and with the use of highly professional dies, they are minted with the desired logo and artwork.

3.2

Packaging

The bars and/or coins are packaged in special high-strength plastic blisters equipped with anti-counterfeiting devices, traceable, and aesthetically refined.

T-Minting Line offers a variety of solutions for the packaging of bars and coins.
