ESSENTIAL DIVERSITY: STAR-LINE. fEITEC Modern Hot Runner Systems

HEITEC MEANS INNOVATION. We offer technology that leaves nothing to chance. Heitec - as a pioneer - developed in 2004 an edge gating system with the greatest benefit for you. Ever since the invention of the revolutionary Star-Line-Technology it has continually been improved and has proven itself thousands of times. Further development resulted in a harmonious and complete concept. This progress was triggered a lot by the requirements and wishes of our customers. Thank you for continually supporting our enthusiasm for innovation.

16 Star-Line Nozzles with 6 tips = 96 cavities Our developments in 2004 set new standards for edge gating. This nozzle combines the advantages of both edge gating types, open and with tip, without showing their weak spots. Consistent improvements to the Star-Line nozzles made them suitable also for technical materials. Even cycle breaks of 30 minutes do not cause damage to the processed plastic. The linear design is particularly suitable for small cavity spacing and long, thin-walled articles, such as pipettes or syringe barrels. With a parallel arrangement of the nozzles articles can be...

THE CORONATION: The success of a series rises and falls with its continuation. With the Star-Line-Crown the length expansion is not a limiting factor anymore. Mould construction heights are individually realizable by selectable length from 60 to 500 mm. The nozzle crown is fixed with its base in the mould plate. Therefore the tips remain at the predetermined injection point also after heatup. Hence, gate diameters of only 0.4 mm are realizable. The heat is concentrated in the center of the gate because of the thermal separation. So, even difficult engineering resins can be processed....

THE SUCCESS STORY CONTINUES: Star-Line-Crown design One... The newest variation of the Star-Line-Crown injects around the corner. Thus it makes submarine gates and cold runners unnecessary. Finally there is an edge gating solution, which eliminates plastic waste and also provides a clean gate vestige. This nozzle completes our range of products. ...and Double. As with all Star-Line Nozzles you don‘t need to split the cavities. The small design creates a lot of space in the mould layout and allows numerous cavities in a small area.

HEITEC OFFERS service friendly details Our tip variations offer possibilities you have never thought about. In our Heitec-technical school you can see: • how the tip variations can influence the meltflow • the mould filling • the venting • the core shift Tip cleaning with the Star-Line nozzles is a piece of cake: Disassemble the tip and turn off the plastic cap.
