How do the dies last longer?
Because we have eliminated the thermal shocks that occur when lubricating with water and the subsequent drying stage.
How are injection capillaries lubricated?
Capillary lubrication is one of the DLS’ strengths. The chemical and physical properties of the hot-melt powder ensure excellent penetration into the injection area, thus reducing capillary breakage drastically.
Can the Dry Lub System be applied to any die-casting machine?
Yes. The DLS can be installed on three-plate horizontal and Rotomatic vertical die-casting machines. The type of installation is different, as traditional horizontal die-casting machines require the use of moving lubricant systems, unlike Rotomatic ones, which use fixed lubrications systems.
Is running tests expensive?
Initial tests are free of charge.
Does testing wax cause production difficulties?
Manual and subsequently automatic tests can be carried on die-casting machines of over 125 tons. Results on smaller machines are achieved only with automatic systems that comply with the production schedule.
How much wax should be used?
The only reliable data that we could verify concern the production of cover-switch plates with an amount equal to 0.002 g per plate. Often, wax is hardly visible during the spraying stage, and this can be a problem. We also have a client who consumes on average 5 Kg of wax a month, working 16 [...]
Do bulky pieces increase temperature excessively?
Provided that the correct heat management of the mould is positive, wax is efficient at a temperature of up to 260 °C.
We produce both aesthetic and technical pieces. What benefits can we get?
The improved flow and release obtained with wax facilitate and improve the lubrication stage. Some of our clients manufacture pump bodies, air-pressure reducers, pneumatic valves, and occasionally lamps, without changing type of product.
At what temperature does wax melt?
Wax melts at 80 °C. It reaches its maximum efficiency when it exceeds 100 °C, which is the standard temperature of the production cycle. Only extremely light productions can experience temperature problems.
How does wax react when it comes in contact with the moulds?
When wax comes in contact with the mould, it melts and, due to its chemical and physical properties, it expands, reaching the most hidden spots.
