Cycle time is the primary cost measure of the molding process, and cooling represents about 80% of the molding cycle (see Figure 1). The thicker the part, the longer the cycle time. However, the ...
Static mixers in hot runners improve polymer mixing while 3D simulation accelerates design optimization for injection molding.
Mold-Masters says its IRIS nozzle is very compact—the same as a normal nozzle—and is very easy to service, allowing replacement of the tip, seal, and thermocouple as in a normal hot-runner nozzle.
