COLLAPSIBLE CORES DURA Core Collapsible Cores

ADVANCED SOLUTION FOR MOLDING THREADS Introducing DURA CORE, an innovative collapsible core solution: a ground breaking two-piece spring collapsible core designed for precision and longevity. This advanced collapsible core features a unique sequential collapse mechanism, where the larger and smaller segments operate independently. This distinct design ensures stress-free movement of the smaller segments, significantly enhancing the life-span of the DURA CORE. Our team of DME engineers will meticulously review each part model to tailor-design a DURA CORE that perfectly aligns with your unique application requirements. Utilizing our exclusive patented design, every DURA CORE purposefully eliminates interaction between the larger and smaller segments throughout the collapsing process. This ground breaking characteristic not only prolongs the core’s durability but also promotes the production of premium quality parts.

DURA CORES, with their compact design and shorter safety ring, enable effortless cleaning and maintenance. The innovative construction enhances cooling, reduces the overall length, and results in a more compact footprint. Ultimately, the DURA CORES lead to the creation of smaller, simplified molds and elevate part quality. The DURA CORE’s two-piece design drastically reduces collapsible core maintenance, a common challenge with traditional spring collapsible cores.
