Ultra SideGate Direct side-gating made easy Ultra SideGate for direct gating demanding applications Benefits: • Excellent gate quality for a wide range of resins • In-machine maintenance possible from split line; easy integration and easy to operate • Allows for single-piece cavity design Features: • Spring loaded tip for fast tip removal in the press and leakproof operation • Precise thermal control for best system balance, easy system start-up without boost • Individual cavity shut-off • Unique design allows for single-piece cavity design, optimal gate and cavity cooling • One, two or four tip configuration Ultra SideGate™ provides easy integration, operation and maintenance and is ideal for deep draw parts such as pipettes, syringe barrels, and hinged closures or smaller parts where only side-gating is possible and gate quality is critical. Ultra SideGate™ nozzles offer molders the opportunity to horizontally direct-gate parts that cannot be effectively gated with a standard nozzle. This direct side-gating method allows for high productivity without sacrificing gate quality, while eliminating the need for cold runners. Superior Part Quality Our Ultra SideGate™ hot runner is capable of producing a gate with virtually no vestige on the finished part (~0.05 mm vestige depending on resin). This patented design eliminates the need for split cavities. Split cavity designs are subject to misalignment occurring over time resulting in witness lines on finished parts, Ultra SideGate allows for single-piece cavity design to eliminate the possibility of misalignment, resulting in more consistent, high quality parts. The single-piece cavity design also results in improved cooling.

Leakproof operations UltraSeal technology offers leakproof operation thanks to spring loaded components. This ensures a complete seal between tip and nozzle and between nozzle and manifold. Nozzles are pre-loaded to the manifold providing leakproof operation in cold conditions. Simplified maintenance Ultra SideGate features a tip that is separate from the nozzle. This eliminates the need for split cavities. The result is fast, simple nozzle tip access, installation and removal of the cavities for repair or cleaning. Configurations Ultra SideGate is available in Angled or Straight tip with a...
