A reduced size vacuum die-casting machine wherein an amount of powder release agent which is fed to a mold cavity each time is stable and loss of velocity of the air flow for sucking out the powder release agent is difficult, the apparatus provided with a powder control valve which has a powder release agent passage through which a powder release agent passes and which moves back and forth inside of a sleeve to switch between a state communicating a discharge hole with a molten metal holding chamber and a state communicating a discharge hole with a powder release agent passage, the powder release agent passage of the powder control valve formed inside of the powder control valve, the inlet and outlet of the powder release agent passage being formed at the outer surface of the powder control valve.

Vacuum die-casting machine

Fluid pressure of a first fluid chamber of a driving means, which acts as a back pressure, is monitored by a monitoring means when a core pin is driven by the driving means in an inserting direction before injection of a molten material into a cavity of a die arrangement. When the monitored fluid pressure of the first fluid chamber exhibits abnormal behavior that is different from normal behavior observed during a normal period, the monitoring means controls the driving means to stop the driving of the core pin in the inserting direction.
