Product catalog summary
Technical Description: The BHP machine shut-off nozzle is designed for processing thermoplastics, excluding PVC. It features a bolt shut-off mechanism with an integrated 2-way actuator, which can be pneumatically or hydraulically operated. The nozzle is optimized for cycle time reduction and prevents material leakage during dosing and vertical injection. It is suitable for industries such as packaging, automotive, leisure, medical, and electronics.
Key Features: The nozzle supports a single through-going melt flow channel, reducing pressure drop and avoiding the 'Memory effect'. It allows for quick cleaning similar to an open nozzle. The actuator controls a radial bolt via a lever mechanism, ensuring automatic opening under overpressure.
Advantages: The nozzle offers excellent color change properties, operates independently of melt pressure, and supports high-speed units. It is compact, reliable, and adaptable to existing open nozzle molds. The integrated actuator eliminates installation errors and adjustments.
Specifications: Operating pressure is up to 3000 bar at 400°C. The actuator can be pneumatic (5-10 bar) or hydraulic (40-70 bar), with water cooling to maintain cylinder temperature between 20-60°C.
Optional Extras: Options include filter modules, mixers, GIT (Gas Injection Technology), and position sensors for process control. Alternative heating systems are available for restricted spaces.
Data Sheet Highlights: The nozzle is available in three sizes (BHP0, BHP1, BHP2) with varying injection rates and screw diameters. It supports a maximum injection pressure of 3000 bar at 400°C and a back pressure of 400 bar.
Installation and Use: Proper installation following the instruction manual is crucial. The actuator position is adjustable within 360°, and the nozzle can be customized with different tip lengths and heating systems.

Machine bolt shut-off nozzle type BHP pneumatically or hydraulically controlled-2

Machine shut-off nozzle, type BHP Technical description The pneumatically or hydraulically actuated machine bolt shut-off nozzles type BHP are used in processing of thermoplastics. Nozzle highlights included: Cycle time reduction, shut-off in the nozzle of the melt-stream while withdrawing or dosing. With the BHP nozzle Herzog has designed a system which allows a single through-going melt flow channel. Therefore a much bigger flow channel is possible and that is responsible for a reduced pressure drop. With this single channel principle the so called “ Memory effect”can be avoided. With the single...

Machine shut-off nozzle, type BHP Integrated Actuator Specially manufactured two-way piston cylinders with temperature resistant seals (up to 180°C) are applied for the pneumatic and hydraulic actuators. The actuator together with the nozzle assembly froms a compact unit. The cylinders are operated from input data on the machine control unit. Advantages on an integrated actuator: • No installation errors • Adjustments such as; stroke, force, etc. on the control unit are eliminated • No alignment between nozzle and cylinder is required Control cylinder construction (acc. to usual energy sources):...

Machine shut-off nozzle, type BHP Optional Extras Filter → preventive strategy Keeping free feed openings in the hot runner or filtering of the polymer mass in reclaimed material processing requires the use of a filter. We offer the gap filter. (See document Open machine nozzles, type F) Mixer → improved quality on injection molded parts A homoge nized melt (in colour and temperature) reduces the reject rate and produces a considerable improvement in the quality of the injection-molded parts. The installation of the mixer takes place either before or after the nozzle. We favour the X-Mixer technology....
