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...

What the problem do you meet in the gift market? Do you still remember the gift you got at a promotion activity, or someone else gave you? Maybe you put it away because it wasn’t practical, and never use it, right? Finally, you don't remember where you put it. This is a very common situation that many people will encounter. This is also a problem that gift merchants have not considered. What will be the final result of the gift they sent out? Thinking from the company's point of view, you printed your company's LOGO on the gift you sent. You thought it would achieve the effect of advertising, actually, it didn't.

Are we giving them what they need? what we want to achieve by giving this gift and how to achieve? On the other hand, let’s think from personal perspective: Why do I need this gi...

TWS headset market will be the focus of the AI ​​era

In October last year, Apple launched the third-generation TWS (True Wireless Stereo) headset, AirPods Pro, on the official website for $ 249. This price is higher than the previous two generations, but it has not hit consumer enthusiasm in the slightest. Earlier, the two generations of TWS headphones released by Apple reversed the decline in sales after the release of ordinary electronic products, and became absolute benchmarks for the TWS headphones industry. The TWS headset is not just a sound transmission tool. Its more important role is an AI assistant based on voice interaction technology. As a smart wearable device, the TWS headset is designed to provide a better human-machine interaction experience. For consumers of TWS headsets, the instant automatic connection can be achieved after the initial setting, so a smooth user experience is more important than sound quality. This can also provide some explanation for "why AirPods can produce word-of-mouth effect...
