The European Standard Air Jet Valve is a premium mould component engineered to meet stringent European standards, designed specifically for modern injection moulding systems. As a key solution for efficient part ejection, this valve eliminates vacuum retention between the mould surface and plastic parts, enabling smooth, damage-free demolding—even for complex geometries.
Crafted from high-grade materials such as stainless steel (AISI 304) or hardened tool steel (1.2316), it delivers reliable performance in high-temperature, high-moisture environments, making it ideal for industries like automotive, packaging, medical devices, and consumer electronics. Its compact design ensures seamless integration with standard European mould bases (e.g., HASCO, DME-Europe), reducing downtime and boosting production efficiency. With a focus on precision and durability, this air jet valve is a critical component for optimizing cycle times and improving part quality in high-volume manufacturing.

This air jet valve strictly adheres to DIN EN 10243, ensuring dimensional accuracy and functional safety. It is fully interchangeable with major European mould components (e.g., HASCO Z43, EOC 801), making it a versatile choice for manufacturers using European-standard mould systems. The standardized design simplifies replacement and reduces compatibility issues in production lines.
Equipped with a spring-loaded poppet valve and Teflon-sealed seat, the valve offers precise control over air pressure (0.5–10 bar). This adjustability allows operators to tailor ejection force to specific part materials—such as ABS, PP, or PC—and wall thicknesses. Its rapid response (within 50ms) ensures consistent, uniform air flow during ejection, minimizing the risk of part deformation.
Built to withstand harsh moulding conditions, the valve’s heat-treated steel components handle continuous exposure to 180°C (356°F). For extreme heat applications (e.g., processing high-temperature polymers), an optional ceramic-coated version is available, capable of resisting up to 250°C (482°F). This thermal stability prevents deformation and ensures long-term performance in demanding production environments.
A double O-ring sealing system—paired with a precision-machined body—eliminates air leakage, even at maximum operating pressure. The streamlined internal channels reduce pressure drop, maintaining efficient air flow throughout the ejection process. Whether used with standard plastics or corrosive materials, the seal materials (NBR or FKM) ensure durability and reliability.
The valve’s modular construction allows quick disassembly for cleaning or seal replacement, without removing the entire unit from the mould. A visual wear indicator on the poppet stem signals when maintenance is needed, reducing unplanned downtime. Replacement parts (e.g., O-rings, poppet springs) are available in standard repair kits, simplifying upkeep in high-volume production.
In automotive manufacturing, the European Standard Air Jet Valve is widely used in moulds for bumpers, interior trims, and electrical housings. It prevents ejection marks and preserves the high surface quality required for automotive parts, reducing scrap rates and ensuring compliance with strict industry standards.
For thin-walled packaging (e.g., food trays, cosmetic bottles), vacuum retention is a common challenge during demolding. This air jet valve creates a controlled air gap (5–10μm) to break the vacuum, ensuring smooth ejection without warping or damaging delicate thin-walled structures.
In medical device production—where precision and cleanliness are critical—the valve excels at ejecting components like syringes, IV connectors, and surgical tools. Its stainless steel construction and compatibility with ISO 13485 cleanliness requirements make it suitable for use with biocompatible materials, ensuring no contamination risks.
For small, intricate parts such as smartphone cases, laptop housings, and wearable device components, the valve’s precise air flow control prevents deformation and preserves tight tolerances. It reduces scrap rates in high-precision electronics manufacturing, where even minor defects can compromise product functionality.
This European Standard Air Jet Valve combines durability, precision, and compliance to deliver consistent performance in the most demanding injection moulding applications. Its ability to optimize ejection processes, reduce cycle times, and improve part quality makes it a valuable asset for manufacturers seeking to enhance production efficiency.
