1.1 Brief Description

The maintenance of a SUPERVAC valveshould be carried out with the assistance of a qualified person
and with the recommanded tools. It is best to maintain the valve in warm conditions.

Precautions:

 Treat the valve components with extreme care to avoid damage and to extend its use.

 Place all valve parts on a piece of cardboard, paper or on a clean workbench.

While production interruption, close the valve to 10mm. Thus, the springs are not under pression and the
time of use is extended.

We recommend using Fondarex original parts for an optimal function.

position at approx 2.5 to 3.2 kg.
And with “P” activated.

V170705 105-700105 14
4.3 Phase 3, Die closed, activation of Stops.

Illustration Explanation

While the production start phase, the valve

will be closed by compressed air (S).
To avoid pollution in the valve due to the less
pressure of the firsts shots.

Air pressure on the (S) hose.

This is necessary because the metal front in

the warm-up phase has not enough kinetic
energy.

V170705 105-700105 15
4.4 Phase 4, cloture of the valve with help of the kinetic energy of the metal.

Illustration Explanation

Valve is closed due to the Kinetical energy of

the alloy. This kinetic energy is transmitted
on the Initio piston which drives the “P”
piston and the vacuum piston.

Closing time is about 0.001s.

Ideal working place and material for a clean and correct valve maintenance:

6.2 Interval of maintenance

The mentioned inspection intervals are approximate values (experience). They depend on working
manner as well as use of grease and lubricant and the residues of these parting compounds or of metal.

If for any reason there should be a dirt accumulation on the evacuation piston or on the filters, the
vacuum valve has to be dismantled and cleaned without hesitation in order to guarantee the full suction-
capacity and to prevent the valve from damages. The vacuum unit shows the pollution error.

If flashes appear, the surfaces of the vacuum valve and compensator should be cleaned

V170705 105-700105 31
 Illustration Explanation

Usually the SUPERVAC vacuum valve has to be

dismantled from the mould for control and cleaning
every 40 to 45 working hours

The compensator has to be dismantled from the die

every 160 working hours

Check the cup springs. If only one spring is

damaged, all springs must be replaced. After about
30'000 shots all cup springs must be replaced

In Order to correct the malfunctions, please follow the proscedures described in the previous chapters.
Malfunction
1. The valve closes with
compressed air on Pulse
(P1).
(Valve is closing to early)
2. In spite of compressed air
on Pulse, to much force is
needed to close the valve
3. The STOP function do not
close the valve
4. Metal penetration into the
bore and bushings
V170705
Cause
To much Grease, oil or lubricant
around the servo piston (Pos 11)
Contact surface between the nozzle
and the servo piston dirty
Compression sprig is tired or to short
(L min. 26 mm)
Nozzle or / and Servo piston damaged Replace
Compressed air pressure to low
Initio piston sticking with metal
Compression spring do not go at the
bottom of the bore hole (not crop out)
Compressed air channels and nozzle
are dirty
Alignment of the valve is bad
Compressed air pressure to low
Compressed air channels are dirty
O-Rings are wear out
Evacuation piston jammed
The Stop piston is rusty
Initio piston and / or evacuation piston
wear out = to large clearance between
piston and bore hole (bushing)
Metal sticks on the surface on a piston Clean with a sharp edge (old
or bushing

Remedying of malfunction
Cleaning
Clean the both parts, make sure
that the surface of the two parts
is nice (turn the piston with
caution counter the nozzle, grind
slightly)
Replace
Check the pressure, min. 6 bar
Clean the Initio piston and bore,
check if it moves easily
Check the assembling
Check / cleaning with a twist drill
5 and 1
Check the positioning pins (pos
16), assemble the valve again
Check the pressure, min. 6 bar
Check / cleaning with a twist drill
5. Unscrew the set screws
(plugs).
Replace
Clean and check if the piston
moves easily
P Check Polish and grease the
piston
Check the clearance between
piston and borehole, if necessary
replace the piston or the bushing
(or the bloc 1).

5. The valve is filled with metal
The pistons are jammed with metal
Die Lubrification on the Initio piston
insufficient
A compressed air connection to S or
P is missing
The grease has lost the lubricating
properties
The valve and compensator do not
fit well in the pocket (geometry
problem)
The pulse function is not working
correctly
Metal reaching the valve
inconsistent
6. To much flashes
The valve and the compensator are
not parallel
V170705 105-700105
Dismantling, cleaning and do the
function test into the vice
See chapter 4.
Direct the nozzle of the die
lubrification directly on the Initio
piston.
Adjust the timing (1 to 3 sec)
Connect
Cleaning / greasing
(do maintenance)
Make corrections on the mold
See point 2
Show vacuum application to
Fondarex
Adjust die casting machine
parameters
Adjust against the position of the
valve and the compensator with
spacer metal sheets

10 Lubrification of the valve

The Initio piston in the center of the Supervac vacuum valve has to be lubricated 1 – 3 sec after each
cycle, in order to assure a continuous vacuum die cast production.

Note:
The compensator should also be lubricated at the end of each cycle in order to avoid the appearance of
flashes.
