horizontally pivoted permanent /iron mould Explanation: basculante is always difficult to translate and can mean tilting. The only other solution I might suggest is the one above. Go to eurometalli.it/it/conchiglia_b.html. There is a photo of a conchiglia basculante which in fact is "tilting". Alison |

tilting die-casting machine Explanation: I found some pictures on the web of a mchine that might be similar to the one you are translating. Check out this site: www.diessepresse.it. It has this machine with a mould turning device. Hope this helps. |
