Follow these tips to set up your system and keep it running smoothly.
The key to trouble-free operation is to provide proper design, setup and operating parameters when you specify the system.
Don’t let this happen to you:
Leaking nozzles are a common and messy problem that comes from improper setup and operation.
Compression nozzles leave room for the expansion that occurs with excessive process temperatures and absorb it without placing stress on the components.
Here, an operator checks a machine's nozzle tips to ensure they’re properly centered in the manifold nozzle seat to prevent material leakage.
For years, injection molders have reaped the benefits of hot runners because of their ability to reduce material use and produce faster cycle times. And now that more and more mold makers are adding presses for sampling and production purposes, they, too, are seeing the benefits of hot runners from an entirely different perspective.
All that said, one drawback of hot runners is their complex startup process. But there are numerous things molders and mold makers can do proactively to ensure the process goes smoothly, and there are best practices to consider for keeping your hot runner system up and running once you’ve got it set up to your liking.
