THERMOPLASTIC PLATE [3 records]

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
