Hot runner systems on the mould
Types of hot runner systems
There are two types of hot runner systems:
Insulated runner molds have oversized passages formed in the mold plate. The passages are of sufficient size that, under conditions of operation, the insulated effect of the plastic (frozen on the runner wall) combined with the heat applied with each shot maintains an open, molten flow path.
For heated runner systems, there are two designs: internally heated and externally heated. The first is characterized by internally heated, annulus flow passages, with the heat being furnished by a probe and torpedo located in the passages. This system takes advantage of the insulating effect of the plastic melt to reduce heat transfer (loss) to the rest of the mold. The second consists of a cartridge-heated manifold with interior flow passages. The manifold is designed with various insulating features to separate it from the rest of the mold, thus reducing heat transfer (loss).
