Plunger Lubrication Shot Beads/Granules

Reduce blow holes and protect the shot sleeve from erosion

Die casting plunger shot beads are advanced lubricating materials designed to enhance the performance of die casting machines. Unlike traditional oil-based lubricants, these beads offer a clean, eco-friendly, and highly efficient solution for lubricating the plunger during the casting process. Specifically formulated for use in both ferrous and non-ferrous die casting, they provide optimal performance without the drawbacks of traditional lubrication methods.


Product Advantages:

  1. Environmentally Friendly and Clean Operation
    The plunger shot beads are fully consumed during the casting process, eliminating any waste or residue. Unlike oil-based lubricants, they leave no stains on the recycled sprue, runner, or soup cake, ensuring cleaner recycling. The absence of oil stains means no smoke emissions or air pollution, making this product a more environmentally responsible choice.

  2. Improved Casting Surface Quality
    The use of shot beads results in a cleaner, brighter surface on die-cast components. Since the beads don’t leave oil marks, the risk of porosity in the final castings is significantly reduced, improving the overall quality and appearance of the castings.

  3. Extended Plunger and Plunger Tube Life
    By utilizing plunger shot beads, the lifespan of both the plunger tube and punch is significantly extended. In fact, their service life is often doubled compared to pure oil lubrication, leading to cost savings in equipment maintenance and replacement.

  4. Enhanced Injection Speed and Production Efficiency
    Plunger shot beads allow for increased injection speeds, improving overall production efficiency. This faster operation, coupled with reduced maintenance needs, means higher throughput and greater profitability for die-casting operations.
