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

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
