square the circle

The Square the Circle technology is an exclusive patent owned by Abate Basilio. This system to centre the moulds is the pride of our company and is now present on production lines all over the world. Versatility is the main feature of this technology.

It can be applied to any kind of moulds (including multi-cavity moulds). The centring is carried out by coupling two inserts/surfaces with different thermal treatments in order to minimize wear and extend the duration of the system.

  • The innovative positioning of the adjustment elements allows to avoid the increase of the clamping force on them, thus extending the service life until reaching the duration of the mould.

  • The new system has a greater capacity to control the centring and to maintain the tolerance of the wall thickness of the product during the life of the mould. This allows to minimize the thickness and reduce the weight of the product.

  • 8 pairs of inserts can be created which means a capability of 16 centring axle.

  • The re-centring of the mould is very easy and can be done with the mould mounted on the machine in a short time: generally it takes 7 minutes for each cavity.

  • The dimensions of the multi-cavity mould can be reduced and its power increased; for this reason it is possible to apply the centring force where the structure resistance is higher.

  • This solution has proven to be the best over time since it guarantees the highest precision of the wall thickness, no wear, high stability and long life of the mould.
