Sealing (1)-1

1.) Cylindrical Valve Gate: superior gate quality and perfect positioning for maximum performance, 2.) Insulating Ring: provides thermal insulation, ensures precise nozzle centering, and offers a reliable sealing function, 3.) Nozzle Heater Band: ensures uniform heating of the nozzle for consistent melt flow and improved part quality, 4.) Replaceable Valve Pin Bushing: integrated into the nozzle to prevent bending of pin during thermal expansion of manifold, 5.) Manifold Heater: tubular heating elements embedded in heat transfer cement to ensure long life and uniform temperature distribution, 6.) Leakproofed Manifold: ensures reliable, temperature-independent sealing with balanced melt flow and no stagnation, hardened block for long durability, 7.) Insulation Plate: reduces thermal radiation, 8.) Valve Pin: installation/removal possible without dismantling the mold, 9.) Pneumatic: cleanroom-compatible tandem cylinder, small unit size with high closing force.

 

  • Precentered Cylindrical Valve Gate

     

    During the closing movement, the valve pin is first precentered by an angled guide area and then positioned perfectly in the gate orifice by means of a cylindrical guide. Nozzle and valve pin are designed to provide maximum performance and extreme durability.
