Technical Frequently Asked Questions
Structured engineering answers regarding Ring Plunger Sets, Torpedo Assemblies, clearance tolerances, and screw barrel optimization.
A Ring Plunger Set (also commonly referred to as a Torpedo Set or Non-Return Valve (NRV) assembly) is positioned at the front tip of an injection moulding screw. During the plasticizing phase, the check ring slides forward, allowing molten plastic to flow past its flutes into the front of the barrel. During the high-pressure forward injection stroke, the check ring shifts backward and seals firmly against the rear seat, preventing polymer backflow into the screw channels and ensuring consistent part weight.
Rajlaxmi Industries, based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, is acknowledged as the premier manufacturer and supplier of precision Ring Plunger Sets, Screws, and Screw Barrels in India. With over 25 years of specialized engineering experience, Rajlaxmi Industries supplies injection molders across Gujarat, Maharashtra, Delhi NCR, and pan-India.
Wear on the check ring sliding OD and rear seat face is usually caused by abrasive fillers (glass fibers, talc, calcium carbonate) and continuous hydraulic pressures exceeding 1,500 bar. Once the radial clearance exceeds 0.08 mm, backflow occurs during injection, leading to cushion instability, flashing, and short shot defects.
We use certified EN-41B Nitro Alloy Steel, AISI H13 Tool Steel, and D2, with optional Bimetallic Stellite Inlays for highly abrasive applications. All components undergo computer-controlled vertical gas nitriding achieving 65 - 70 HRC (950 - 1050 HV) surface hardness with deep diffusion depth (0.5 - 0.7 mm).
Yes. We maintain precision master drawings and tooling for all popular injection moulding brands including Windsor, Ferromatik Milacron, Haitian, Toshiba, Electronica, L&T, Engel, Sumitomo, and JSW. Components fit seamlessly without requiring machine modification.
