Ultra Helix Valve Gate TM Simply incredible gate quality and gate life FEATURES: • Incredible gate quality at start-up • Gate life lasts for millions of cycles • Industry-leading thermal consistency • Continuous stem guidance • Guaranteed stem concentricity with gate hole virtually eliminates mechanical wear • Reduced cost of mold integration • Suitable for engineering and commodity resins Our new Ultra Helix™ nozzles are a giant leap forward in valve gate technology. With advanced manufacturing capabilities and unique patented designs, it is now possible to direct gate parts with gate vestige so clean it is nearly unmeasurable. The incredible gate quality will be noticeable from the moment you start up the system and you can rely on that level of performance for millions of cycles —in many cases for the life of the mold. A New Approach to Valve-Gating Our Ultra Helix™ nozzles were designed using a first-principles approach to understand exactly how gate vestige is formed. This insight, combined with advanced manufacturing technologies, resulted in a revolutionary valve gate that incorporated novel, advanced manufacturing technologies, resulting in a valve gate that: • Guarantees stem to gate orifice concentricity, virtually eliminating mechanical wear on these components • Provides an incredibly consistent thermal profile, which results in outstanding cavity balance performance and very wide processing windows • Simplifies machining for mold integration, saving mold makers time and money and shortening molders validation times Ultra Helix™ also incorporates an innovative heater design that provides the performance of an integrated heater with the maintainability benefits of Husky’s removable heater. The consistency and performance of these heaters decouples short shot balance from nozzle heater performance, reducing the potential for balance changes when replacing a heater.
