Xaloy® Front End Components

Product catalog summary
Overview: Nordson designs and manufactures Xaloy front end components for injection units using various abrasion and corrosion-resistant steels such as Hastelloy, Inconel, M390, H13, D2, S7, CPM, and 17-4PH stainless steel. These components include end caps, nozzle tips, nozzle bodies, and non-return valves, all made to OEM specifications with enhanced wear and corrosion resistance.
Key Features:
  • Consistency and repeatability in performance.
  • Improved wear life and cost-effectiveness.
  • Fast delivery to maximize uptime.
Auto-Shut™ Valves:
  • Features a free-flowing, positive shutoff, self-cleaning design.
  • Offers consistent shot-to-shot repeatability and operates independently of screw travel.
  • Applications include PC and ABS alloys, acrylic, and polyolefins with 10 MI or less, but not suitable for nylons and glass-filled materials.
FTR™ Valves:
  • Three-piece non-return valve with a free flow design and zero restriction.
  • Applications include RPVC, offering excellent shot repeatability and self-cleaning capabilities.
Sliding Ring Valves:
  • Industry-standard design with customizable flow paths for a wide range of resins.
  • Available in three- and four-piece configurations, suitable for general purposes and fluoropolymer materials.
Locking Ring Valves:
  • Features zero relative velocity ring/retainer interface for smooth lock-up.
  • Designed for general purposes with abrasive fillers, offering good shot repeatability.
Poly-Check® Valves:
  • Ball check design with optimized flow path and self-cleaning configuration.
  • Applications include polyolefin-based materials with greater than 8 MI, polystyrene, and LSR.
Eliminator® Nozzle Tips:
  • Eliminates stringing, drooling, and cold slugs with a hardened steel, easy installation design.
  • Suitable for highly crystalline, semi-crystalline, and shear-sensitive materials.
