  • Patent number: 11161172
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diecasting method and a diecasting nozzle system (10) for use in a hot-chamber system (1) for the diecasting of metal melt (4), comprising a hot-chamber diecasting machine (2) with a casting vessel (3) and a melt distributor (20), which distributes the melt (4) from a machine nozzle (7) among uniformly heated diecasting nozzles (40). Arranged between a sprue region (42) of the diecasting nozzles (40) and the casting vessel (3) is at least one nonreturn valve (48), which prevents the melt (4) from flowing back from the sprue region (42) in the direction of the casting vessel (3). According to the invention, the nonreturn valve (48) is respectively arranged between the sprue region (42) of at least the upper diecasting nozzles (40) and a final branch of melt runners (22) in the melt distributor (20) to each of the diecasting nozzles (40).

  • Patent number: 9561540
    Abstract: Die cast nozzle for use in a die casting hot chamber system for molten metal with at least melting channel (4) in a channel carrier (3) that can be connected to a melt distributor (21), wherein the melting channel (4) passes over into a heating zone (6) and a nozzle tip (8), to which a sprue area (10) is attached, in which a plug of solidified melting can be formed that interrupts the melting flow, wherein the heating zone (6) comprises a heating cartridge (2) and/or a heatable nozzle shaft (33?) and/or the nozzle tip (8) is comprised as heatable nozzle tip (8?) and comprises at least one heating cartridge (2), the heatable nozzle shaft (33), or the heatable nozzle tip (8?) as heating element with electric heating, which comprises high power density in at least one section and low thermal inertia, comprised in a way that a temperature change gradient of 20 to 250 K/s, preferably 150 K/s, can be achieved on the surface of the heating element.

  • Patent number: 9073117
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diecasting die, in particular in a diecasting hot-runner system, wherein the diecasting die is provided in a feeding region for forming a plug of solidified molten material that interrupts a flow of the molten material and can be completely remelted. A diecasting die is provided according to the preamble of the invention that is suitable for different molten materials, in which a heating acts directly on the molten material with high power and largely without delay. Cooling is not required and the injection-molding method can be carried out at a high operating machine speed and under feeding conditions that can be monitored and reproduced well. A feeding region is provided comprising direct resistance heating that produces a melting heat and is in direct thermal contact with the molten material.

  • Patent number: 8915290
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diecasting die (7) and a diecasting method for sprueless diecasting, in particular in a diecasting hot-runner system (1), wherein the diecasting die (7) is provided in a feeding region (8) for forming a plug of solidified molten material (22) that interrupts a flow of the molten material and can be completely remelted. The problem addressed by the present invention is therefore that of providing a diecasting die and a diecasting method according to the preamble of the invention that are suitable for different molten materials, in which a heating acts directly on the molten material with high power and largely without delay, a cooling is not required and the injection-molding method can be carried out at a high operating machine speed and under feeding conditions that can be monitored and reproduced well. The problem is solved by the feeding region (8) comprising direct resistance heating that produces a melting heat and is in direct thermal contact with the molten material (22).
