Conducta Plunger

HTS DIFFERENCE

Premium EU made tool steel grade

Developed for optimal combination of toughness and resistance to heat checking

Shorter Downtime

Quick ring assembly and removal directly on the machine reduces maintenance time.

Engineered Ring

Made with softer steel prevents sleeve damage and allows smooth sliding of the spring bush.

Bayonet Locking System

Insures fast, secure, and repeatable coupling between plunger and holder.

Conducta Series: High conductivity and customization possibilities.

1. CuBe BODY
Made out of forged CuBe. Excellent combination of toughness and highest values of heat transfer.

2. STEEL RING (optional)
Opens during injection due to its own elasticity and due to aluminium penetrating between ring and plunger.

3. STAINLESS STEEL HOLDER
Fxed to its holder with a special bayonet locking design.

4. STEEL SPRING BUSH
Ensures contact plunger/sleeve at the back of the plunger thanks to its elasticity.

VACUUM AND GLIDING EFFECT
Made with softer steel, the spring bush slides easily and doesn’t damage the inner surface of the sleeve. CONDUCTA B-RS version includes a spring bush (back ring) which has been specially designed for vacuum systems.

Advantages over conventional plunger

Easy assembly with tolerance for misalignment 

The coupling of plunger and holder is done using our special bayonet locking system, which allows slight misalignments during assembly, providing a seamless and forgiving integration process compared to traditional lock systems. This design ensures a reliable connection between the plunger and holder

Cycle time reduction 

The optimized cooling design within the Endura plunger ensures efficient and even cooling, significantly reducing cycle times. This leads to more efficient and homogenous cooling and faster solidification of the biscuit without compromising quality. 

Additionally, the ring's assembly and removal is quick, and can be done directly on the machine, minimizing downtime.

Longer lifetime

The Conducta plunger assembly with its holder is designed for durability: the holder itself rests against the inner surface of the plunger absorbing the total injection pressure and avoiding cracks and fatigue.
