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.
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.
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.

The new Performance Line is the result of nearly a decade of dedicated development within the Molding Solutions Group and offers a comprehensive, cost-efficient nozzle portfolio. It includes open hot runner systems, valve gate systems, and side-gating solutions. With a broad selection of nozzle types, lengths, tips, and manifold sizes, the Performance Line provides the right solution for almost any challenge.
Designed for medium- to high-cavitation molds and products with a medium lifecycle, it delivers reliable gate quality combined with an attractive price-performance ratio.
Hot runner systems are the heart of efficient injection molding — but even the best equipment wears over time. Our refurbishment service restores worn or damaged components to optimal condition, ensuring precise temperature control, improved flow, and consistent product quality. Avoid unplanned downtime and costly replacements while keeping your production running smoothly.
Our two-day training program combines in-depth theoretical instruction with hands-on practice directly in the workshop. It is designed for professionals who want to understand not only the principles of hot runner systems, but also how to install, maintain, and service them effectively.
From Fundamentals to Practical Expertise!
Precise temperature management is the key to producing consistent, high-quality parts while keeping scrap rates low and profitability high.
Our advanced Gammaflux control systems deliver unmatched accuracy, stability, and user-friendly operation. With intelligent temperature monitoring and adaptive control, you can ensure optimal melt flow, reduce downtime, and increase the overall efficiency of your production process.
Whether you’re running small-scale projects or high-cavity, high-volume production, Gammaflux technology provides the precision and reliability you need to take full control of your hot runner system.
