COREPIN
Reduce breakdown by use of long life RAGA core pin.

Core pins used to create holes in die casting are fitted &
part of a die casting mold.

Precisely machined and ground custom pins are made

from high quality DIN 1.2344/AISI H-13.

Vacuum Heat treatment, nitriding & coating enhances life

of the core pins.
 RAGA
JET COOLED CORE PIN
Jet cooled (JC) core pins are an integral &
most important part of the jet cool system.
Casters prefer RAGA JC Core pins
for their life and deep hole concentricity.
Custom made pins go through stringent quality
checks to ensure straightness of holes & dimensions.
Surface treatments like Nitriding &
coating ensures higher life.

FEATURES

Hole: Min Dia 2.5mm & Max length 600mm

Casting Dia: Min 4.5mm, Coating options available
 RAGA
SPOT COOLER
Minimise mold breakdown and maintenance time using
RAGA SPOT COOLERS.
Standard options for customised needs
keeps mold thermally balanced.
Stainless steel option gives high life

RAGA
VACCUM SHOT SLEEVE
Casters have effectively used RAGA VACUUM SHOT SLEEVE
to minimise porosiites around gate area.
RAGA's twin stage VACUUM SYSTEM gets connected to this sleeve and the mold.
Air is extracted from the shot sleeve via 4 wide
cross-section path during the first phase of injection.
 RAGA
PLUNGER TIP
RAGA PLUNGER TIP reduces
breakdown time due to plunger tip change.
Made with high quality AISIH-13/DIN1.2344,
it gives multiple times more life than cast iron.
Precisely machined & grounded.
Results in higher sleeve life.
 RAGA
SPRUE BUSH & DIFFUSER
Refined material structure and heat treatment makes
SPRUE BUSH & DIFFUSER more durable.

High quality AISI H-13/DIN 1.2344 is precisely
