Manifold range Superior manifold technology – the heart of your EWIKON system EWIKON manifolds guarantee full natural balance even in case of most demanding multi-cavity applications. This is possible due to special direction and distribution elements. Even in critical areas of the flow channel - changes of flow direction or distribution of the melt flow - dead spots are avoided. Product features + Benefits • Full natural balance • Even filling of cavities in multi-cavity applications • Streamlined direction elements without sharp corners or dead spots • Smooth melt flow for sensitive materials...

HPS III-T For thermally demanding applications • Full natural balance for even filling of cavities • Streamlined direction elements without sharp corners or dead spots • Smooth melt flow for sensitive materials • Very quick colour changes HPS III-TE The economical solution for standard applications • Full natural balance for even filling of cavities • Cost-saving combination of element and drilling technology Valve gate system with bridge manifold

Nozzle range Flexibility for your standard applications The comprehensive range of HPS III nozzles offers utmost flexibility for mould designers and provides tailored solutions even for the most complex requirements regarding gate position, vestige quality, shot weight or cavity distance. Product features + Benefits • Various gating options, high flexibility in mould design • Exchangeable tip inserts, heaters and thermocouples • Homogeneous temperature profile • Front installation for easy access and replacement

The EWIKON standard nozzle for all materials and shot weights. For direct gating with tip or open gating. The single tip solution for utmost process reliability for all materials including hightemperature thermoplastics. At least two separate heaters guarantee a most homogeneous temperature profile. Gating options Direct gating with tip Open gating Various versions of gate bushes and screw-on gate bushes including over-dimensioned versions to adapt to free form contours

Nozzle range Solutions for close cavity spacing and multi-gating Several versions of slim nozzles and multi-tip nozzles are available for demanding hotrunner applications. Product features + Benefits • Extremely close distances between cavities in multi-cavity moulds • For internal gating of slim parts • For complex part geometries with gating points in hard-to-reach areas • Multi-gating

HPS III-S3 nozzle For direct gating of parts in multi-cavity packaging and medical applications. Suitable for internal gating, external gating or gating in hard-to-reach areas. HPS III-S3 multi-tip nozzle module Up to four HPS III-S3 nozzles can be integrated into a multi-tip nozzle module which allows extremely close distances between cavities. The temperature of each nozzle can be controlled separately. The special tip geometry of the HPS III-S3 nozzle prevents stringing in fast-cycling moulds HPS III-MV multi-tip nozzle For vertical multi-gating of parts. Small parts can be gated simultaneously...

Nozzle range Nozzles for side gating For all applications where side gating is required the EWIKON nozzle range offers a tailored solution. All nozzles are available as system nozzles or single tips. Product features + Benefits • Direct gating with tip or open gating • For standard mould inserts • Side gating on visible surfaces • Good gate quality through shear action

HPS III-MH nozzle for standard side gating HPS III-MH nozzle for direct side gating HPS III-MH nozzles are the standard side gating solution for use in standard mould inserts. Due to the open flow channel layout quick colour changes are possible. The solution for linear or radial direct side gating of parts in compact multi-cavity moulds. Since only standard mould inserts are required a cost-efficient mould design can be realised. The tip inserts are installed from the parting line of the mould in the last assembly step after the nozzle body has been installed. Thus, they can be exchanged easily...
