High-pressure die casting specialist Pedeo has recently introduced hotrunner technology to the production of high-pressure zinc die casting parts. This “direct injection” technology guarantees extremely high quality, a fast casting cycle time and significant energy and material savings. All this in function of higher competitiveness and lower environmental impact.
Hotrunner: innovative technology for the highest quality
In the hotrunner injection technique, the liquid zinc alloy is injected directly into the mold cavity. In the process, the temperature of the molten metal is kept constant, within very strict boundaries. This ensures better control over the production process, and a highly consistent fill quality throughout the mold. The metal can also be injected in multiple locations simultaneously.
The result? Increased productivity and reduced material loss. And above all, the process quality to produce complex parts with very precise dimensions.

The shorter casting line results in significant material and energy savings.
The casting cycle of the hotrunner technique is substantially faster than in the standard production process.
Other advantages of the hotrunner technology include:
- The molding is shorter, requiring less material to be remelted. This results in substantial energy and material savings.
- Less air enters during injection, resulting in a higher density and an extremely smooth casting skin.
- Due to the smooth casting skin, these castings require less post-processing. This speeds up and simplifies the entire production cycle, and also reduces the carbon footprint.
