 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.
