PCL provides a full range of modelling, blocking and casing services in addition to manufacturing the moulds themselves. PCL moulds have the following key design features:
• Fine Pore Structure – More tightly controlled pore structure than other resin moulds which:
• Greatly improves product surface quality
• Reduces susceptibility to mould blinding • Avoids water flushing between casts.
• Long Life – PCL moulds are guaranteed to achieve a minimum of 20,000 casts per mould but many continue to operate considerably in excess of 60,000 cycles
• Leak Free Sealing Faces and a Pin and Bush Alignment System – Produces high quality cast ware requiring minimal fettling
• An Integral Air Distribution System – Ensures uniform release of the piece
• A Reusable Reinforcing Frame –
Distortion free and safe mould operation
• A System of “Stops” – Different mould styles can be mixed.
