September 2021
As September is soon coming, there will be a colorful backdrop to the countryside as the leaves turn from green to vibrant red, orange, and yellow. Football is starting to be played on the weekends.
Many industries will be tooling up for new products during this time. Especially in the plastic injection molding community. With an increase in offshore molders, it is more important today to put your company in a competitive position. As you know, how you design and develop the injection mold will be a factor in how efficient the tool operates. As mentioned in previous blogs, cycle time and amount of material used will greatly influence the total cost of delivering parts to your customers.
One way to decrease both is to use a direct gated hot runner to introduce the melt into the cavity. FISA’s patented Plagate system uses the plastic pressure generated from the barrel & screw to actuate the gate. It does not need any external actuation so that will save on size and complexity of the tool.
If you are in the process of designing a new injection mold tool, feel free to use FISA as a resource to help with the design of the hot runner system, whether it is a single drop or a multi-drop manifold system. Our in-house Engineering department can design an efficient melt delivery system that will give you years of production with minimal downtime. We will be happy to provide the hot runner nozzles with the appropriate type, size, and gate for your application.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to learn how FISA hot runner nozzles can help you improve your process and bottom line.
Until next month; enjoy the colors of the season, root your favorite teams to win, and keep making good parts.
