on series of 4 sleeve replacements
innoSleeve
We at HTS have developed a special shot sleeve with a substantially longer lifetime – innoSleeve BY HTS.
It is used with a quickly replaceable, wear-resistant integral insert/ liner that extends sleeve lifetime and minimizes production downtime.
innoSleeve is compatible with all iTherm® Die-Casting Injection Systems and standard Injection Systems.
HTS DIFFERENCE
As of 01.07.2023, we, at HTS have committed to the production of die-casting shot sleeves that generate up to 70% less CO2. We have decided on this important, sustainable future oriented step, as the first shot sleeve producer in the industry. This way we are supporting our die-casting customers’ efforts to decrease their environmental footprint. To mark this significant decision, we have launched a new shot sleeve brand, called the innoSleeve.
WHAT IS INNOSLEEVE
innoSleeve is used with a replaceable integral insert/liner.
It is a patented solution for sleeve cost optimization developed by our daughter company, Alrotec Technology.
A special liner is used as a lining, inside of the sleeve but it doesn‘t influence the sleeve outer dimensions.
Liner is a single-body HPDC component made of a special in-house developed alloy that extends its life substantially.
innoSleeve is compatible with all iTherm® Die-Casting Injection Systems as well as with all other Injection Systems.
Advantages of innoSleeve
Longer sleeve lifetime
In comparison with standard shot sleeve, the innoSleeve is protected by the integral insert. When the insert is worn, it gets replaced with a new one while the sleeve remains in operation.
Less production downtime
Integral insert used with innoSleeve is replaced using a special tool we provide, without dismantling the sleeve from the machine, resulting in shorter production stoppages.
Thermal regulation
innoSleeve is available with various options for thermal regulation.
-
At the bottom of the sleeve with an interconnected system of holes preventing sleeve warpage and minimizing erosion.
-
Around the shoot end of the sleeve, using a specially designed cooling ring, providing additional cooling of the biscuit.
Lower tooling cost
Using innoSleeve, you will lower the overall cost of sleeves, because the number of sleeves used for the series will be lower. Our customers have reported savings of up to 30% on series that required 4 sleeve changes.
