Cold runner/Cooling water… should have a constant
temperature of 23°C ± 2°Cneeds be absolutely clean
to avoid blocking cooling channels
additives like frost protection can affect the cooling capacity of water drastically
in-coming pressure into the mold should be about 3bar higher than back flow

Cold runner / Open nozzle
Open nozzleUsed for: Directly gated into the LSR
part Small & Medium LSR parts Very small cavity distance Up to 256 cavities/nozzles Small & compact mold
design (small machines)

Cold runner / Valve gate nozzle
Valve gate nozzleUsed for: Directly gated into the LSR
part Medium & larger LSR parts Thin wall parts Independent adjustable
flow(enlarged process window) – big benefit; electrical adjustment available

Electronical valve gate nozzle
Main advantages: Flow rate adjustment
during the cycle Settings can be saved
project oriented One control cabinet for
various molds Operator cannot change
any setting without control cabinet connected.

Fully automatic injection mold…Parts are directly gated with cold
runner technologyParts are virtually flashless, have
no overflows and therefore no need for secondary operation like flash or gate removal
Parts are demolded with a demolding system in a fully automatic cycle
Mold & demolding system is completely debugged & proved to run fully automatic
