High-pressure die casting specialist Pedeo has recently introduced hotrunner technology for the production of high-pressure zinc die casting parts. This “direct gating” technology guarantees extremely high quality, a shorter casting cycle and significant energy and material savings. Thanks to hot runner technology, it is possible to produce parts with a more homogeneous composition and a higher surface finish, at a price that is close to plastic moulding. And that right here in Europe.
Hotrunner: innovative technology for the highest quality
With hotrunner technology, the liquid zinc alloy is injected close to the mould cavity, while the temperature is kept extremely constant.
This ‘direct gating’ ensures a much shorter casting cycle, better control over the production process and an extremely consistent filling quality.
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.
This means that less air is introduced during injection, resulting in better flow, higher density and an extremely high surface finish.
As a result, these castings require less post-processing, making the entire production cycle even faster, simpler and cheaper.
In addition, this offers designers the opportunity to further explore the boundaries of high-pressure die casting, including slimmer wall thicknesses and more complex products.
With hotrunner technology, Pedeo brings the advantages of plastic moulding to the zamak world. Ideal for small and complex parts in high quantities.
