What do you know about the hot runner molds?


The structure of the hot runner mold is generally the same as that of the thin nozzle. The biggest difference is that the runner is located in one or more hot runner plates and hot nozzles with constant temperature. There is no cold material demoulding, the runner and gate are directly on the product.

Therefore, the runner does not need to be demolded. This system is also known as the nozzleless system, which can save raw materials. It is suitable for the product that the raw materials are expensive and the product requirements are high.

Hot runner system, also known as hot sprue system, is mainly composed of hot runner sleeve, hot runner plate and temperature control electric box. There are two types of hot runner system: single point hot sprue and multi-point hot sprue.

Single-point hot sprue is to use a single hot sprue sleeve to inject molten plastic into the cavity directly. It is suitable for plastic molds with single-cavity and single-gate; multi-point hot-gate is to branch the molten material to each through hot runner plate. It is suitable for single cavity multi-point feeding or multi-cavity mold.


Advantages of hot runner systems

1. No regrind material, no post-processing is needed, the entire molding process is fully automated, saving working time and improving work efficiency.

2. Low pressure loss. The hot runner temperature is same as the nozzle temperature of the injection molding machine, which avoids the condensation of the raw material on the surface of the runner and reduces the loss of injection pressure.

3. Reuse of regrind material can improve the degradation of plastic performance, while the use of hot runner system without nozzle materials can reduce the consumption of raw materials and thus reduce product costs.

4. In the cavity, the temperature and pressure are uniform, the plastic parts have low stress and uniform density, and the molding in series is continuous under a small injection pressure. For transparent parts, thin parts, large plastic parts or highly demanding plastic parts, it can show its advantages, and can produce bonded products with a small number of sheets.

5. The thermal nozzle adopts standardized and serialized design and adopts various alternative nozzle tips, which has good interchangeability. Uniquely designed and processed electric heating coil can achieve uniform heating temperature and replace long.

Disadvantages of Hot Runner System Applications

1. The overall mold closing height is increased, and the overall height of the mold has increased due to the installation of hot runner plates.

2. Heat radiation is difficult to control. The biggest problem of hot runner is the heat loss of runner, which is a major problem to be solved.

3. There is thermal expansion, thermal expansion and contraction are issues to be considered in our design.

4. The increase of mold manufacturing cost and the high price of standard accessories of the hot runner system have affected the popularity of hot runner molds.

How to select to phone case that is fit for you

We don’t pay the insurance for our phone, but we will add some extra protection for it ， a phone case is one of the protection for your phone .So what case should we select for our smartphone ? When it comes to buying the case for our phone, we have met some problems more or less, such as “It scratches very easy” "The buttons are way to stiff when using this cases" "The color is   beautiful and it’s easy to pop on but the material is NOT durable.” Actually, most of these problems are related to the material that the phone case is made from, every material has its own advantage and disadvantage,after we know the performance of the material, we can choose a better case that is fit for you. Silicone phone case: Silicone phone case is a typical application of silicone protective cover. It’s softness is   between 35-80A Shore hardness and a slightly slippery feel . It has been popular in the market for many years. Silicone rubber, commonly known as silica gel, is a h

How does the Magfsafe achieve 15W fast charging? (The detail disassembly report of Magsafe wireless charger)

 At the press Apple launched a MagSafe magnetic wireless charger that has attracted much attention. This is also Apple's first mass-produced mobile phone wireless charger, marking the official entry of the iPhone into a new era of wireless charging. Promote the development of the wireless charging market.   The Apple MagSafe magnetic wireless charger, as its name suggests, adopts a magnetic design with a built-in magnet that can actively adsorb and align for wireless charging. This can be achieved while charging and playing, breaking the traditional wireless charging method. The main attraction is that it can wirelessly charge the iPhone 12 series at 15W, and other wireless chargers is only up to 7.5W. So as Apple's first mass-produced wireless charger, it has also made a special design, what is the inside of it? Here We will share with you the detailed disassembly of this product. 1.        Appearance of Apple MagSafe magnetic wireless charger The packaging box is a typ

Let's stop plastic waste at its sources

  Around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute, while up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide every year. In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away.While plastic has many valuable uses, we have become addicted to single-use or disposable plastic — with severe environmental consequences.  We have seen a lot of positive action to reduce the plastic waste such as: garbage sorting,limit the use of disposable plastic products and the developing and manufacturing of the recycling. But we need to do more, we need to stop the plastic pollution at its sources   100% Biodegradable material was tested is 100% compostable and  can be completely degraded into  carbon dioxide and Oxygen in the Under natural composting and home composting conditions . As a kind of natural degradable material, biodegradable material plays a unique role in environmental protection. Its research and development
