Moldmakers who want to diversify into medical—or maintain their competitive edge—need up-to-date, high-tech engineering and fabrication capabilities in order to meet the toolmaking industry’s most stringent quality standards.

Quality, performance, maintenance and flexibility are driving today’s hot runner technology.

Focus on cavitation and advanced product design gives progressive mold shops a jump on competitors.

A flexible and cost-effective PET system featuring modular, low cavitation PET preform molds reduces both conversion costs and mold changeover time.

Electrically actuated valve stems promise more control, cleaner actuation, closer pitch spacing, higher quality gates and reduced maintenance.

Husky Injection Molding Systems (Bolton, ON) offers synchronized valve stem technology for its Ultra 350, 500 and 750 hot runner nozzles.

Moldmakers aren't the only ones reducing leadtimes. Component and hot runner suppliers are delivering their equipment and supplies faster to accommodate industry demand.

Husky Injection Molding Systems Ltd. (Bolton, ON) has the high pressure, high stem force Ultra 500 valve gate hot runner nozzle.

Equipment and component suppliers are developing a range of products for advanced moldmaking needs.

Husky (Bolton, ON) has launched a comprehensive 3D customer drawing package for hot runners that is designed to allow customers to easily check their tooling interface with the hot runner.

Successful application of a hot runner in the molding environment requires detailed analysis of gating styles, resin and molder expectations.

A rule to lightweight preform necks and closures could require more than 1,000 new molds.

Husky (Dudelange, Luxembourg; Bolton, ON) has introduced the smallest member of its valve gate nozzle family—the Ultra 350—with a seal diameter of only 8 mm, a bore diameter of 16 mm, and a minimum nozzle spacing of 25.4 mm.

Toolmakers are developing increasingly complex molds for high production of thinwall parts.

Husky Injection Molding Systems, Inc. (Milton, VT) will exhibit the smallest of its valve gate systems, the Ultra 350, at MoldMaking Expo.

Husky Injection Molding Systems’ (Bolton, ON) Ultra 350 valve gate system features a seal diameter of only 8 mm, a bore diameter of 16 mm, and a minimum nozzle spacing of 25.4 mm.

Design and performance capabilities of components fabricated in state-of-the-art molds enhance the appeal of new vehicles.

Standardized hot runner system allows the moldmaker to easily configure a system in just two weeks.

Alignment, mold protection, tonnage distribution and injection control are the main elements in the molding machine that could affect your tooling investment.

Husky provides custom hot runner solutions for even the most complex applications, including high cavitation systems, stack hot runner systems, multi-material systems as well as complete solutions for non-symmetrical and family mold systems.

PRONTO provides rapid two week shipment (in U.S.) of fully configurable hot runners with plates and manifold systems at a reduced cost.

Our Single-Drop hot sprues and valve gates are ideal for prototype tooling or low volume production, and offer: - A wide range of thermal and valve gate configurations, with throughputs from 0.1—750 g/sec - Ultra tip technology providing the Ultra Advantage - Delivery in three business days

The Ultra nozzle product line uses advanced tip technology and optimized materials to offer exceptional performance to our customers.U ltra nozzles are available in a wide variety of sizes to meet the demands of any application.

Husky (Bolton, ON) has introduced a hydraulic valve gate hot runner—the Ultra 1750—designed specifically for automotive applications.

Once your hot runner supplier is chosen, you need to take the proper steps to maintain a mutually beneficial, long-term relationship.

A quality hot runner system is one of the more important enhancements you can incorporate into a mold to improve molded part quality, reduce production times and remain price competitive.

High-quality mold bases can help moldmakers maximize output and uptime.

Husky Injection Molding Systems' CEO speaks frankly about his company's success, the state of the industry and where moldmaking is headed.

Moldmakers are often required to design and make hot runner plates for molds. Being aware of these best practices can make the process easier.

MoldMaking Technology's readers share their opinions on how a small moldmaker should handle sales.

Moldmakers need to be aware of how different gating technology can affect their customers when designing a hot runner system into a mold.

One of the most common concerns expressed by molders about hot runner molds is the threat of a leak of molten plastic causing the manifold pocket to fill.
