Want the longest lasting shot control? Then this is the screw-tip assembly for you.

Don Zeiger is a perfectionist. Anyone who's used the gold standard of injection molding valves, the Zeiger 4-piece non-return valve*, knows this. But when it came to the Rear Seat of his Z3, he got it a little off. On purpose.

Zeiger engineering designed it a better way, calculating just the right imperfection in mismatched angles so it can slip to adjust to the contaminates that inevitably come into play.

The result 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.

Better steel, better processing:
  • Zeiger Z3 Rear Seat is constructed entirely of D2 tool steel hardened to 60RC.
  • Corrosion resistant and abrasion resistant.
  • Good compression strength and resists denting.
  • Superior material quality compared to all others that use lower grade steel or cheap veneer nitrided steel.

Better seal, positive shut-off, superior shot control:

  • Exclusive Zeiger "zag-edged" Rear Seat contact seal design carefully mismatches angles to optimize adjustments and accommodate the natural inconsistencies inherent in any manufacturing process.
  • Unlike the standard matching angle design, the Z3 approach maintains control when contaminated material comes through.

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

It doesn't take a lot of extra money to get extra performance. When designing his 3-piece screw-tip assembly, Don Zeiger was aiming for the best 3-piece screw-tip valve at affordable prices. For an extremely competitive cost, you can get the superior and longer lasting shot control of the Zeiger Z3 - not because of expensive add-ons, but a higher-tech screw-tip design.

WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!
"Plasti-Co, PPE, EMI. they must live in some fantasy world where everything's perfect. I build screw-tips for real-life use. They're designed to handle variance in the material you're processing, not ignore it."

CONTAMINANTS HAPPEN. GET OVER IT!
"Any manufacturing process is imperfect. Unmelted particles and foreign pieces from regrind exist. Even a tiny amount of particulate matter in the resin will throw the perfectly angled Rear Seat out of whack and the shut-off will become leaky. Instead of letting you make defective parts, we get over it by using a zag-edge design that slips just enough to adjust just enough."

OUR REAR SEAT TAKES A BACK SEAT TO NO ONE!
"Our competition goes wrong by engineering for perfectly matched angles. Because manufacturing tolerances can't be controlled 100% perfectly 100% of the time, the Z3 is a better screw-tip assembly that simply works better all the time."

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
