Record 1 2015-07-14

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
DEF

A mould in which the runners are kept at a temperature that is higher than the solidification temperature of the material.

CONT

Hot runner molds. Thermoplastic runners are reground and reused. A logical extension of the three-plate mold overcomes this and is called a hot runner mold. This mold has a hot runner plate, which is a block of steel heated with electric cartridges, thermostatically controlled. This keeps the plastic fluid. The material is received from the injection cylinder and is forced through the hot runner blocks into the cavities. It is a more difficult mold to build and operate than a three-plate mold, but produces parts less expensively on longer-running jobs.

OBS

In injection moulding.

OBS

hot-runner mould: term and definition standardized by ISO.

Key term(s)
  • hot runner injection mold
  • hot-gate mould
  • hot-runner injection mold

Record 2 2014-04-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
  • Facilities and Equipment (Rubber)
DEF

An edge gate where the opening from the runner into the mold is located below the parting line or mold surface ...

CONT

A submarine gate penetrates through the steel of the cavity. When the mold opens, the part sticks to the cavity and shears the piece at the gate. A properly located KO [knockout] pin, using the flexibility of the plastic, ejects the runner and pulls out the gate. This type of gate is usually used in automatic molds.

OBS

[In] conventional edge gating, ... the opening is machined into the surface of the mold. [In] submarine gates, the item is broken from the runner system on ejection from the mold.

OBS

submarine gate; tunnel gate: terms standardized by ISO [International Organization for Standardization].

Record 5 2008-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Presses (Machinery)
  • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
CONT

On single-punch machines, the mixture is fed into one tablet mold(called a die cavity) by a feed shoe, as follows :-The feed shoe passes over the die cavity and releases the mixture. The feed shoe then retracts and scrapes all excess mixture away from the die cavity.-A punch-a short steel rod-the size of the die cavity descends into the die, compressing the mixture into a tablet. The punch then retracts, while a punch below the die cavity rises into the cavity and ejects the tablet.-As the feed shoe returns to fill the die cavity again, it pushes the compressed tablet from the die platform.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Steel
DEF

A type of steel similar to rimmed steel, usually cast in a bottle-top ingot mold, in which the application of a mechanical or a chemical cap renders the rimming action incomplete by causing the top metal to solidify.

Record 9 2001-06-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Smelting of Metal
CONT

In strip casting, thin strips of steel are cast directly out of a mold; this cuts out slab casting and most functions of a hot mill. All the hot rolling is performed by a single pair of rolls positioned right under the tundish. The rolls themselves serve as the mold; the distance between them regulates the thickness of the strip.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fusion (Métallurgie générale)
DEF

Procédé selon lequel l'acier en fusion passe entre deux cylindres tournant en sens inverse, l'écart entre ceux-ci correspondant à l'épaisseur des coils obtenus. Ce procédé supprimerait le laminage à chaud.

CONT

Le procédé de coulée en bande, lequel permet de produire des bandes minces directement à partir du métal liquide, possède l'important avantage d'éliminer partiellement, sinon complètement, les étapes de laminage à chaud, les opérations de coulée et de laminage étant combinées.

Automobile tires after assembly on a drum are shaped to size and then vulcanized in engraved steel molds. The molds are stacked one on top of the other in vertical pot heaters, and steam is admitted to the closed heater. An air bag resembling an inner tube is inserted in the unvulcanized casing. Air, steam, hot water, or combinations of these are introduced into the air bag by flexible connections of copper tubing, expanding the tire carcass and causing the rubber to flow into the design of the mold.

Record 16 1997-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastics Manufacturing
CONT

The pinch-off areas pinch the ends of the plastic parison and seal the edges together when the mold closes. These surfaces are subject to more wear than any other part of the mold.... Steel inserts often are used for the pinch-off areas of mold of the softer metals.

CONT

Dividing the cavity from the flash pocket is the pinch-off. The pinch-off has a dual role: it must seal the open ends of the parison and, at the same time, cut the flash from the bottle.
