The shot sleeve is a critical component in HPDC process. Its dimensional stability and in-service lifetime are crucial for productivity. We manufacture a variety of standard and thermo regulated shot sleeves, including our specially developed sleeve with protective Integral insert/liner.
We manufacture a variety of standard and custom made shot sleeves.
We at HTS have developed a special shot sleeve with a substantially longer lifetime – HTS Shot Sleeve.
It is used with a quickly replaceable integral insert/ liner that extends sleeve lifetime and minimizes production downtime.
HTS Shot sleeve is compatible with all iTherm® Die-Casting Injection Systems and standard injection systems.

It is a patented solution for sleeve cost optimization developed by HTS IC 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.
HTS Shot Sleeve is compatible with all iTherm® Die-Casting Injection Systems as well as with all other injection systems.

In comparison with the standard shot sleeves, HTS Shot sleeve is protected by an integral insert/liner. When the integral insert/liner is worn, it gets replaced with a new one, while the sleeve remains in operation.
Integral Insert / Liner
Integral insert/liner in HTS Shot sleeve is replaced using a special tool we provide. It is done without dismantling the sleeve from the machine, resulting in shorter production stoppages.

Our shot sleeves have various options for thermal regulation.
Sleeve with Thermal Reguation
Using HTS Shot sleeve, 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.
| DIMENSION | RANGE (mm) |
