34 MoldMaking Technology July 2015 Mold Materials Hot Runners Hot Runner Manifold Designed for Ease of Installation Husky's Unify hot runner manifold system is designed for one-step installation into a mold without the need for preheating, offering flex- ibility and time savings, as well as simple hot runner maintenance, reducing downtime. Designed to minimize mold assembly and reduce manifold instal- lation time, the Unify system provides simple and efficient mold installation. The water, hydraulic and electrical services are attached to a rigid frame that matches the manifold layout, enabling easy installation directly into the mold. The company's UltraSeal technol- ogy ensures nozzle alignment to the gate without the need to heat the system during assembly, eliminating the risk of damage to the tips during installation. The manifold system is available for Ultra 1000 hydraulic valve gate nozzles, as well as pneumatic valve gate and hot tip TS configu- rations, and for the complete Ultra 750 series of nozzles. Husky Injection Molding Systems / 802-859-8000 / husky.ca Temperature Control System Enhances Hot Runner Operations Designed to help optimize injection molding performance, the DME Intelligent Temperature Control System offers a small footprint and plug-and-play compatibility with a range of hot runner systems. It can be easily installed or retrofitted on a variety of machines, and can be expanded to meet changing requirements. The unit's plug-and-play system architecture does not require any external service. The modular temperature control system is based on six-zone, 15A control cards with a maximum of 48 zones. Its small-footprint cabinets come in a desk- mounting case for as many as 12 zones and a stand-up case for as many as 48 zones. The systems also are equipped with self-diagnostic testing tools that enable users to confirm that zones are functioning properly. Dedicated trolley bases and alarm beacons are also available for both cases. The Allin-One zone controller card features current measurement, ground fault detection, dual- line switching, TC input fusing and dual-line output fusing. DME Co. / 248-398-6000 / dme.net Pre-Designed Manifolds Offer Same Features as Custom Systems Designed to complement the company's flagship, custom-engineered Rheo- Pro series hot runners, Quick-Start manifold systems from MHS - Mold Hotrunner Solutions are available in a variety of pre-engineered con- figurations with a focus on reliability, part quality, fast delivery and cost performance. They are said to offer the same high-performance components, including the company's patented front-removable nozzle heaters. Many standard combinations are available for a variety of common mold layouts. According to MHS, the designs have been optimized for ease of opera- tion and maintenance. MHS - Mold Hotrunner Solutions / 905-873-1954 / mhs-hotrunners.com HTT-type Nozzle Tips Boost Material Flow Incoe's HTT-type nozzle tips are designed to provide optimal material flow in the tip and systematic temperature control in the hot runner gate area, features that are said to be particularly important for achieving even filling and clean separation at de-molding when the injection mold features a large number of cavities. According to the company, the geometry and placement of the bridges from which the torpedo is suspended in the flow channel compensates the distribution of melt flow. The flow geometry in the HTT tip improves the rinsing effect, facilitating quick and reliable color change. The HTT nozzle tip is well-suited for applications ranging from bulk plas- tics to technical plastics with a tight processing window (with or without fiberglass) to high-temperature plastics. It can be fully integrated into Incoe's Direct-Flo modular hot runner systems. Incoe Corp. / 248-616-0220 / incoe.com
