Nozzle evacuates gases in two-shot operations.


Vacuum-assisted hot-runner nozzles that eliminate air or gases during two-shot overmolding are new from HRS Flow 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  Systems NA Inc., Windsor, Ont. Unveiled at the recent Euromold exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany, this approach is said to bring better filling at lower pressure, improved part aesthetics, reduced flashing, and potential for longer mold life by reducing chemical attack. The vacuum nozzles are for use only with HRS's M series and come in two versions, one with a vacuum applied after the first-shot valve pin, and a second version with a vacuum chamber for each pin. The system has a titanium titanium (tītā`nēəm, tĭ–) [from Titan], metallic chemical element; symbol Ti; at. no. 22; at. wt. 47.88; m.p. 1,675°C;; b.p. 3,260°C;; sp. gr. 4.54 at 20°C;; valence +2, +3, or +4.  ring that makes contact between the nozzle An orifice in an inkjet print head through which ink is sprayed onto the paper.

 and the mold. The system also requires a new heater layout, new geometry for the tip, ring nut, and bushing, and new materials for those components.

HRS also developed its new Fail-Safe Controller for use with dual thermocouples and heaters to prevent operating interruption in case of thermocouple failure. The controller monitors the thermocouples in the manifold manifold
