Principle of Thermal Separation • Two-part shaft for good thermal separation between nozzle and mold insert • Low heat flow into the cavity • Constant temperature control in the nozzle • High leak tightness between nozzle and mold insert GÜNTHER Hot Runner Technology for Medical Engineering Applications • Development of custom tailored solutions in close cooperation with our customers • On-line system configuration with the CADHOC system designer • Externally heated systems guarantee optimal melt flow with low pressure drop • Hot runner systems for the most varied demands • Two-part shaft for optimal thermal separation (patented) • Modular nozzle design • “Hot half” as a ready-to-install mold half Hot Runner Systems for Medical Engineering Technology For more information on our services and products, please check out our website at www.guenther-hotrunner.com GÜNTHER Heisskanaltechnik GmbH Sachsenberger Straße 1 D-35066 Frankenberg Phone +49 (0)6451 5008-0 Fax +49 (0)6451 5008-59 [email protected] www.guenther-hotrunner.com Cover: Production line for producing and bottling infusion solutions. A special closure is placed on the filled bottle and subsequently overmolded with PE. This application uses a modular valve gate hot runner system from GÜNTHER. Photo: B. Braun, GÜNTHER Valve Gate Technology Valve gate technology offers clear benefits including: • superior surface finish in the gate area • high process reliability • low shear rate of the melt to reduce orientation and residual stress of the part Valve gate technology takes advantage of a modular nozzle design. Narrow pitches are possible. One can choose between different types of needle actuation: single valve gate nozzle or, in multiple systems, single needle valve, lifting plate or sliding plate mechanism. The needle can be adjusted from the outside without mold disassembly. A wear-resistant needle guide made of PM steel guarantees long service life. Various gate diameters are possible without refinishing the inserts.
