Delta Gating System
The Delta Gating system is a new type of gate for pressure Die Casting dies which eliminates the shortcomings of traditional gates and gives much better results.
Delta Gates:
- eliminate divergent flow into the cavity
- give predictable results
- improve surface finish opposite the gates
- feed from two sides instead of one
- utilise a fully balanced runner system
- are easy to machine into the die
Traditional gates used in pressure die casting fall into four main types:
- Fan Gates
- Chisel Gates
- Paddle Gates
- Tapered Tangential Gates
Each of these has advantages and disadvantages.
HotFlo have taken the best features of each of these types of gate and combined them together to create a new type of gate – a Delta Gate, which outperforms them all.
Delta Gates are suitable for hot chamber and cold chamber dies, aluminium, zinc and magnesium alloys, large parts and small parts, single and multi-cavity dies.
Delta Gates are easy to machine into the die, however, like any gating system, the dimensions of every element of the gates and runners are critical to its performance. They must be carefully calculated and accurately machined.
To assist in this, we have developed special software to enable all the dimensions to be quickly calculated and specified.
