Magnetic Core Pin Holder, KC6100

In plastic products where through holes are part of the design, removable core pins are a necessary part of tooling design.

For the most part core pins are held in place with clamps either with an in-line clamping motion or a more standard swing action. These mechanisms work but in some cases are prone to misalignment and adjustment issues.

Eliminating the necessity for clamps eliminates both of these related issues. In addition, there are some core pins that, by nature, must be placed in very hard to reach places and working clamps in those areas can become tricky and cumbersome.

Magnetic core pin holders are the answer to all of these issues and are now available from RotoMart. Since there are a wide variety of core pin diameter and lengths, magnetic core pin holders must be custom made from your specific requirements.

Please note that, in some, but not all cases, there may be some modification of the mold necessary, by way of mounting a steel bushing, for initial installation and use of these pins. To obtain a quote, please send the diameter and length of your pin requirements and we will send a quotation for the pin.

This is a custom item that requires some imput from our customers. Please contact us with details so we may provide you with a quote.

Intellivent, KC401852

$1.80

Our new Intellivent uses the tested venting performance of our Supavent line and goes one step further by allowing the vent to be inserted into a 1" O.D. PTFE tube. This protects it from the problems caused by rough extraction from the plastic part and/or the mold.

This vent is designed to fit straight into the end of a PTFE tube that has been reamed to the proper diameter with our cutting tool. Now molders can employ this new venting technology without concern of tearing or wearing from rough handling.

Smartvent 8mm - (5/16", 8mm) KC401858

$2.31

Smartvents are part of the Supavent family of products designed for use in tight spaces. Like regular Supavents, Smartvents are designed to provide very effective and repeatable venting, eliminating one variable from the rotational molding process. Their one-way valve technology capitalizes on rotational molding's natural pressure build during the heating phase. This allows for more efficient curing of the plastic part which reduces the heat cycle time and the surface quality of plastic parts is improved. Scrap rate is reduced. Smartvents are very simple to use and install. Made of a high temperature Silicone, Smartvents are designed to provide very effective and repeatable venting to reduce scrap and capitalize on rotational molding's natural pressure build during the heating phase to reduce the heat cycle time and allow for more efficient curing of the plastic part. Scrap rate is reduced. Cycle time is reduced and the surface quality of plastic parts is improved. 7/8'' o.a. length. Use with or without active pressurization systems. Repeatability. Simple to use and install. Use in line or perpendicular to draw of part. (100 per bag). Norstar Part Number: KC401858. 8mm (5/16") Smartvent.

Other Smartvents available:
1/2" Smartvent - Part Number KC401855
1" Smartvent - Part Number KC401856

Supavent - 1/2", KC401850

$2.68

Supavents are the latest technology in rotational molding venting designed to provide very effective and repeatable venting. By doing this they eliminate the variances in venting caused from the variation in filter media density used in traditional venting methods. As a result scrap rates from warpage and loose filter media are reduced.

In addition, Supavents are also designed to capitalize on rotational molding's natural pressure build during the heating phase to allow for more efficient curing of the plastic part and therefore reducing the necessary heating cycle time.

Supavents can be used with or without active pressurization systems.

Reduced scrap, shorter cycles and better part appearance are the advantages of switching to the Supavent system.

Parting Line Scraper, Polycarbonate, KC5729K

Parting Line Scraper, Polycarbonate, KC5729K

$3.17

Well maintained parting lines are critical to extend the useful life of aluminum molds and the quality of the plastic parts made from them.
The use of metal scrapers for cleaning is the biggest contributor to damaged parting lines and should be avoided.
The use of proper tools, on the other hand can ensure a longer mold life.

This Polycarbonate Parting Line Scraper is the recommended tool for use in the cleaning of parting lines of aluminum molds.
Dimensions:
Overall length: 6.25",
Exposed Polycarbonate material: 3", Width: .875", Thickness .250".
