The cost of making corrections or modifications to a hot runner after manufacturing is expensive and time-consuming. Quick yet accurate engineering is critical to keeping a new tool on time and within budget. The use of leading-edge technology and the knowledge base within the hot runner supplier's engineering group is crucial when building a high-performance and high-quality mould.

Product Range

Hot runner technology has advanced significantly in the last decade. A hot runner supplier should be able to assist you in all areas of gating styles, dimple design, cooling requirements, electrical optimisation and gating position for precise flow balancing. When faced with the difficult choice of selecting the correct hot runner for your mould, accurate professional advice and clear explanations of the complex technology are important to the build of a high-performance solution.

A broad product range that covers all applications and markets is critical. Using a single supplier for all applications removes compatibility and consistency issues that potentially can occur when working with a variety of suppliers. A strong working relationship with one supplier streamlines the whole process for a mould-maker, whether it is a simple hot sprue, complex multi-material, hot half or family mould. Working closely with a hot runner specialist enables mould-makers to deliver runnerless tooling that is right for the application and performs to the customer’s exacting specifications.
