Breather plates are made from stainless steel with industrial hard chrome plating. The hard chrome plating provides excellent wear resistance. The type of breather plate used is determined by the type of product that is being formed. Tomahawk Engineers can help determine what tooling combination is best for your needs.
The breather plate allows air to escape from the mold plate cavity during the filling process to ensure the right size and shape is produced. The size and layout of breather holes is determined by the geometry of the cavity, type of product, and fill method.
