Plunger Tip Product Specifications

This unique tip features a tempered steel head for strength, plus a body of beryllium copper for its excellent thermal conductivity. A conventional plunger tip screws directly onto the plunger rod, which is hollow to allow circulation of cooling water. With the Castool modular plunger, a reusable stainless steel tip holder is screwed to the rod. An existing plunger rod can very often be modified to allow an increased flow of water, and to permit the installation of the plunger holder.

The high-strength stainless steel holder is in direct contact with the inside face of the steel plunger head, and absorbs the full force of the shot.

The steel head of the Modular Plunger is fastened to the body by two screws. The head is attached easily but securely to the tip holder with a bayonet-type quick release coupling.

In the Castool Plunger, coolant channels are specially designed to produce a high velocity turbulent flow of water past the inner face of the holder. This achieves the maximum cooling effect. The water then passes through several channels to the circular external return passage.
