Castool found that in their die ovens where radiant heat was used, the rate of heating the die does not depend primarily on its mass, but more so on the amount of surface area exposed to direct radiant energy.

The controller contains several algorithms, so that if you input the size of the die and the target temperature, it will then select the most appropriate program to heat that particular die.

This shear blade provides a “cut and split” action to cut through the butt/die interface.

Scoop

This extra strong 2-piece block emphasizes quality of product plus length of operating life. The sturdy design provides excellent long elasticity life and rigidity.

Replaceable Ring

Replaceable Ring

+ View

Replaceable ring block for standard long stroke presses up to 100,000 psi. The combinations of the ring hoop strength and the yield strength of the mandrel and holder have been carefully designed. The ring expands to pre-determined size at a pre-determined pressure. It provides long-lasting dummy block elastic expansion and contraction.

High Pressure Ring

High Pressure Ring

The HPR, high pressure ring block, is an evolution of the old favorite QEB, quick expansion block. The HPR has a similar expanding wear component. The full-length ring is relatively thin and of uniform thickness. It expands quickly, making it suitable for presses with rapid acceleration.

The high pressure from the dummy block transfers to the stem, making it essential that the load be uniformly applied. In addition, since the stem operates repeatedly and consistently under very high compressive loads, it must remain completely in alignment through its stroke length.

Cold Clean Out Blocks

The Castool Clean-out Block has been designed for maximum efficiency in cleaning the liner wall. The block is long enough to sit on the billet loader and travel through the liner smoothly.

Dummy Blocks

Many of Castool Products and Processes are Patented.

Programming & Optimization

No single component of the extrusinon production process should be examined or evaluated individually.

Each interacts with at least one other complementary element of the process. If the interacting elements are equally efficient, they will reinforce and enhance the function for each other.

Only if the entire production process is considered as an integrated system, with all parts operating together in common cause, can maximum efficiency be approached

Simulation: Hyperxtude & Solid works.

The perfect die requires the die and liner temperature to be stable from the first to the last billet.
