Molding Solutions' Direct Side Gating technology delivers flawless aesthetics and reliable performance, even in the most demanding applications and high-cavity molds.

The Difference at a glance

The Best Thermal Separation: Less Energy Consumption.

A circular seal between the nozzle tip and the mold ensures thermal separation. The resulting low heat transfer into the cavity leads to reduced energy consumption and enables shorter cycle times.
For Cosmetic Gates: Barely Visible Injection Point.

The cylindrical seal is not only responsible for thermal separation but also for creating gate points that are hardly visible, with diameters in fractions of millimeters. The injection point can be placed in the visible area.
For Technical Resins: Loves Demanding Plastics.

The Side Gate Nozzle can do more than just processing standard materials. Even with highly glass fiber-reinforced and mineral-filled plastics or materials with narrow process windows, the nozzle impresses with a homogeneous temperature profile.
Easy Maintenance: Tip Change
in 8 Minutes.

Since side gate nozzles protrude into the mold insert, it is crucial for the user to know how challenging the disassembly is during maintenance or when a fault occurs. Eight minutes—that's how quick the time is to change a nozzle insert, with the mold remaining on the machine. And if necessary, a cavity can be shut down just as quickly and easily to keep production interruptions as short as possible.
Patented Heaters: Homogeneous Temperature.

The homogeneous temperature profile in the nozzle is crucial, especially when processing technical or sensitive materials.

The focus during the development of the nozzle was therefore on the heating design. The Side Gate Nozzle is equipped with patented heating elements, which have already proven their efficiency in countless applications.
Perfect Filled Cavities: Individual
Tip Control.

The best option for the ideal balance of fill in multicavity applications.

At the same time, precise temperature control allows for the processing of a wide range of materials, including highly glass fiber-reinforced and mineral-filled plastics with narrow process windows.

Fits Perfectly Into Your Mold Design.

The Side Gate Nozzle is available in various sizes to accommodate different part volumes.
This allows for adaptation to various part geometries and shot weights.

Radial Version
- 1, 2, 4 or 8 nozzle tips.
- Versatile layout of the injection points.
- The single tip version allows extreme design flexibility.
Linear Version
- 2+2 or 4+4 parallel nozzle tips.
- Minimal gate point spacing of 16 mm.
- Particularly suitable for applications requiring multiple injection points in a row.

Easy Maintenance.

Since side gate nozzles protrude into the mold insert, it is crucial for the user to know how challenging the disassembly is during maintenance or when a fault occurs. Eight minutes—that's how quick the time is to change a nozzle insert, with the mold remaining on the machine. And if ever necessary, a cavity can be shut down just as quickly and easily to keep production interruptions as short as possible.
