An interesting programme awaited our Belgian and Dutch customers during the event. In addition to exciting CAD topics, the influence of additives in polymers was also on the agenda.
The guests were enthusiastic about the extraordinary ambience of the event. The journey through the world of standards was carried out within the framework of a boat trip, rounded off by a guided sightseeing tour.
At the informal conclusion of the event, the participants used their time for networking. The HASCO team with Gwen Budé, Area Sales Manager BeNeLux and Roy Matulessy, Technical Sales Engineer Netherlands, and the guests, all agreed: “We are all in the same boat and together we will find suitable solutions for the future.”
New HASCO Screw Plugs Made of Brass and Stainless Steel (HT)
Screw plugs are usually used to securely close temperature control bores in injection molding tools.
Reliable thread sealing
The new HASCO screw plugs Z9410/… with collar are available in a brass version with a special FKM O-ring and in a high-temperature version made of stainless steel. The O-ring, which in the HT version consists of a high-temperature-resistant FKM material, ensures reliable sealing of the temperature control bores even without an additional thread seal.
Production losses due to leaks are significantly minimized
Both screw plugs are suitable for process-reliable temperature control of injection molds with hot or cold water or heat transfer oil. The low compression set enables optimal use, with production downtimes due to leaks being significantly minimized. They are easy to assemble and disassemble.
While the screw plug Z 9410/… made of quality brass material 2.0401 can be used for temperatures up to 120°C with water and oil, the operating temperatures for the HT version made of quality stainless steel 1.4305 with special high-temperature O-rings are included up to 180°C for water and 220°C for oil. They ensure reliable tightness even with large temperature differences.
HASCO’s HT screw plugs are ideal for applications in medical and clean room technology.
High Corrosion Resistance – HASCO Sealing Plugs Made of Stainless Steel
When constructing the temperature control system of an injection mold, sealing plugs are used both for deflecting the temperature control medium and for sealing the bores to the outside.
Ideal for use in medical and clean room technology
The new HASCO sealing plugs Z9425/…/VA made of stainless steel are particularly suitable for use in clean rooms, for example in medical technology. They enable process-reliable temperature control of injection molding tools when using hot or cold water and when using tempering oil. The sealing plugs are temperature-resistant up to 180°C and have very good corrosion resistance. Internal pressures in the temperature control system of up to 10 bar can be achieved without any problems.
Easy assembly with Torx screw
The high quality stainless steel 1.4305 guarantees reliable and durable temperature control applications. Thanks to the Torx geometry of the fastening screw, the plugs are easy to install, and the required torques are safely transmitted without damaging the inner profile. While the assembly of horizontally running temperature control bores is easy to do, the sealing plug for vertical bores can be slightly oversized by screwing in the Torx screw before assembly in order to exploit the friction with the bore wall. This enables controlled positioning even under vertical installation conditions.
HASCO – Investing in the Future to Guarantee Maximum Speed of Delivery
As a leading international manufacturer and supplier of modular standard mould units and accessories for tool and mouldmaking, HASCO has always endeavoured to deliver its precision products within the shortest possible time.

Time- and Cost-Saving Core-Centering Feature is Ideal for Blood Collection Tube Production
SIPA has spent several years developing new injection mold tooling solutions specifically for medical applications, encompassing wide cell culture containers to deep and narrow blood collection tubes, BCTs. A special cold-half core-centering technology that it developed for BCTs is already used successfully at a leading global supplier of these critical and widely-used items.
The solution developed by SIPA, unique in the industry and the subject of a patent application, makes it possible to adjust the core alignment from the front face of the cold half, in contrast to competing solutions that require access the back of the core plate. This makes any adjustments easier and faster to carry out during production.
Production of high-quality blood collection tubes demands that wall thickness around the circumference is within very tight tolerances. This can only be guaranteed by precise design and especially accurate production of the various elements in the injection mold. While such criteria also apply to more common PET products like bottle preforms, consistently high performance over long-term production is more difficult to ensure with BCTs.
Why is this? There are two specific reasons. First, because BCTs have a diameter much smaller than regular preforms, the various components of the mold also have reduced dimensions. In the specific case of the cores, these obviously also have a small diameter, which means that their stiffness is lower than preform cores. As a result, they are more likely to flex under the pressure of the PET melt if the wave front during injection is not perfectly symmetrical.
The situation is made more critical by the fact that injection pressures used in BCT molding need to be higher than in preform production, due to the higher length: thickness ratios of the tubes. This obviously puts the mold components under greater stress, increasing the potential for deflection of the cores.
The solution developed by SIPA makes it easier to fine-tune the positions of the cores, correcting any slightest deviation from the set value, and so enabling production of a product with optimal wall thickness.
“Our solution is unique because it allows the processor to make adjustments to the mold while it is still in the machine, simply via access to the front face of the cold, moving half,” says SIPA Spokesperson “No disassembly is necessary, providing the user with a considerable advantage in time taken for the execution of the operations.
“Obviously the task is also much simpler than in an adjustment operation requiring access to the back of the mold, where the mold, or at least part of it, has to be taken out of the injection molding machine, disassembled, adjusted, reassembled, and then refitted to the machine.”
