Introducing the only 3-piece screw-tip assembly that's The Ultimate in Affordable Performance

Don Zeiger is by no means a softie. And neither are the Front End Parts, including his injection molding screw-tip. When the competition uses softer steel, he won't join in. When they try to cover up for it by covering the steel parts in a nitrided coating, he won't play along.

It's easy to make a cheap, affordable screw-tip. It's much harder to make a high-tech plasticizing screw-tip that's affordable.  While the rest of the industry copies without understanding the technical dynamics in play when processing polymeric material effectively, Zeiger's Front End Parts stand alone at the forefront of the market.

Z3 is the first advanced 3-piece screw-tip valve for best-in-class quality and The Ultimate in Affordable Performance made specifically for general injection molding operations.

Zeiger invented the Z4 4-piece* and now innovates with a better 3-piece at surprisingly comparable prices.
  • better steel, better processing: Front End Parts constructed entirely of D2 tool steel hardened to 60RC
  • self-cleaning convenience/efficiency: full-flow, self-scrubbing channels
  • easy maintenance with standard tools: fast-installing hex wrenching flats
  • accuracy and repeatability: excellent shot-to-shot control
Zeiger offers an extensive line of high-quality Front End Parts for injection molding - including barrels and screws - as well as full and custom service.

Zeiger Z3 zaps all the rest! Never again settle for 3rd rate 3-piece pretenders!


AND, NOW... FOR YOUR "NEVER-NEVERS"!
Don Zeiger stands behind his products with such conviction that he doesn't just claim he'll use straight talk and name names - he'll follow through!

NEVER SETTLE FOR LESSER QUALITY COMPETITIVE PRODUCT!
"The Front End Parts for injection molding make for a high-tech piece of equipment. Others in the industry are simply trying to copy without understanding the physics, chemistry, and the polymer flow characteristics we know and we apply."

COPYCATS FLATTER DON, BUT FATTEN UP ON YOUR MONEY!
  • "Me-too screw-tips use softer steel that dents easier, leading to leakage and low-quality parts or end products."
  • "Me-toos nitride coat their steel, a cheap veneer that will wear out and will cause part failure."
  • "Copies believe this 'free-flow' nonsense instead of using our Full-Flow self-cleaning channels."
  • "Me-toos choose straight-through I.D. instead of my Bellmouth configuration for superior shot control."
  • "Me-toos use perfect angles in their Rear Seat that can't adjust to contaminants in the resin like the better seal and positive shut-off from my engineered slight mismatch."

MAYBE THEY'RE NOT THAT GREAT AT COPYING AFTER ALL!

THEIR NAMES | THEIR "BADS"
Plasti-Co | uses nitrided coating for their tool steel
EMI | invented the so-called "free-flow" style (thanks!)
PPE | good/better/best is overkill, plus they use "free-flow"
DME | their claim of "excellent performance" is overblown since they nitride coat their steel
IMS | their claim to "outlast other types many times over" is pretty far-fetched since they also offer "wear-resistant coatings" for an extra cost

Don's Never Never Land

  Never Never No. 1  

nitriding is like putting lipstick on a pig!

Nitriding is a cheap trick using a cheap veneer. The coating falsely raises the Rockwell rating, so your valve can be damaged beyond repair in two weeks! Don will NEVER nitride, ALWAYS using the right steel hardened right instead. LEARN HOW YOU CAN DECREASE DEFECTS
  Never Never No. 2  

Is a free-flow valve really free flowing?

We don't think so. Free-flow valves actually make a mess with burnt material left behind after each shot. Leakage. Labor. Downtime. Don will NEVER sell a free-flow and will ALWAYS use a full-flow valve instead. LEARN WHY OURS IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD
