Alternating stack mold trims runner complexity.


The TandemMould System, a special stack-molding configuration in which each parting line operates alternately in overlapping cycles, has a new feature to trim hot-runner costs. This system from Injection Moulding Innovations, Versmold, Germany, typically uses a separate hot runner A hot runner is an injection mold component containing a series of channels that distributes molten plastic within a mold to increase molding productivity through reduced waste, as the runners arent wasted each cycle by being ejected, as the plasic stays molten and gets used on the  to deliver melt to each parting line. However, the company's new TandemMould Simplex version simplifies the melt paths by using a single runner system.

In the Simplex design, the melt for the second parting line is injected in·ject·ed
