Creating the most effective hot runner system design, including manifolds, nozzles and full hot-halves, demands a collaborative approach among the moldmaking supply chain: mold builders, molders, OEMs and technology suppliers. Reviewing and understanding the vital information that the hot runner manufacturer needs to quote and build the appropriate hot runner system is the first step. Those details include part weight, plastic material, number of cavities, nozzle style, gating style, mold size and mold material requirements. Only then can the right hot runner solution, standard or customized, be identified with the proper design process for the project to follow.
Primary Topics:
What information your hot runner supplier expects from you?
What are the calculations you must do up front?
What are the calculations your supplier will do?
What are some sample design standards?
