RPDie Casting

Uneven temperatures in die-casting or injection moulding tools cause moulding defects, rejects and shorter tool life. Ihne & Tesch RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters introduce heat precisely and uniformly inside the tool for stable processes and repeatable results.

750 °C Maximum operating temperature

5–10 mm Wall thickness

Applications

Die-casting and injection moulding tools require reliable, uniform heating exactly where it is needed. Poor temperature control causes dimensional deviations, increased rejects and premature tool wear. RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters are installed directly in the tool bore and transfer heat efficiently and controllably to the cavity.

  • Heating die-casting tools for uniform temperature distribution
  • Injection moulding tools with direct heat input into the cavity
  • Socket machines and special-purpose machines with high temperature requirements
  • Applications up to 750 °C for thermally demanding processes
  • High watt density up to 8 W/cm² for short heating times
Options
  • various diameters and lengths
  • voltage and output options matched to the machine control system
  • various connection lengths and connection types
  • alternative output tolerances for precise process control
  • conical contact surface for improved heat transfer
  • with installation and removal aid for easy tool changes
  • with terminal pins and a flat end face
  • with distributed output along the cartridge length
  • connection cable with various plug options
  • with integrated thermocouple or sheathed thermocouple
  • with insulating sleeves for targeted heat flow

Frequently asked questions

Ihne & Tesch RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters are electric heaters installed directly in the bores of die-casting and injection moulding tools. They transfer heat precisely and uniformly to the cavity for stable process temperatures. With operating temperatures up to 750 °C and watt densities up to 8 W/cm², they are designed for thermally demanding applications.

Tubular cartridge heaters are preferable where heat must be introduced directly inside the tool, such as in bores, cores or mould inserts. Band heaters heat the outside of barrels or nozzles. In die-casting and injection moulding tools with internal heating bores, tubular cartridge heaters provide direct, uniform heat transfer without external heat loss.

Ihne & Tesch manufactures RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters in various diameters and lengths. The exact design follows the tool bore dimensions. Options include conical contact surfaces, different connection lengths and distributed output along the cartridge. Bore diameter, installation length and required output are sufficient for specification.

Yes. Ihne & Tesch RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters can be supplied with an integrated or sheathed thermocouple. Direct measurement at the installation point improves process-control accuracy. Insulating sleeves are also available for targeted heat-flow control.

RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters suit tools in die-casting machines from manufacturers such as Bühler, Frech, Idra and Colosio, as well as injection moulding tools from Arburg, Engel, Krauss-Maffei and others. They are also used in socket machines and special-purpose machines wherever precise heating is required directly inside the tool.

Ihne & Tesch RP Die Casting tubular cartridge heaters are custom-manufactured to size. Typical delivery time is two to three weeks; standard dimensions may be available sooner. Please contact us for an exact estimate.
