Spring-Operated Needle Shutoff Nozzle

Product catalog summary
Technical Description
The S-Nozzle is designed for processing thermoplastics, excluding PVC. It features a spring-operated needle shut-off mechanism that ensures clean shut-off of the melt and reliable closing during metering. The nozzle opens at 200 bar and closes at 80 bar, with adjustable opening pressure by modifying the needle's pressurized ring area. The nozzle is compact, modular, and offers high operational safety with interchangeable parts.

Dimension Sheet
The dimension sheet provides specifications for different nozzle sizes (S0, S1, S2) based on maximum injection flow rate and worm diameter. It includes details on operating pressures, temperatures, and filter module options. Standard dimensions and additional technical specifications are provided for customization.

Installation Instructions
Installation requires matching temperatures and using high-temperature paste. Initial operation involves heating the nozzle to process temperature, while repeated operation requires melting the polymer fully before production. The document warns against potential gas release from stationary, heated nozzles and provides guidelines for managing leakage.

Nozzle Design / Service
The nozzle assembly involves specific steps and tools, with a focus on cleaning and maintenance. It recommends using a fluidized-bed or ultrasonic cleaning tank and provides guidelines for heating and cleaning individual parts. Key parts subject to wear include the spring, heater band, and temperature sensor.

Integrated Melt Filter
The S-type nozzle includes an integrated melt filter for final filtration of recycled materials. The filter is based on the gap filter principle and can be retrofitted without modifications. Cleaning involves disassembling the nozzle tip and ensuring equal temperature levels before reassembly.

Spare Parts Order Form
The document includes a form for ordering spare parts, requiring full contact information and part details as specified on page 5.

Spring-Operated Needle Shutoff Nozzle-2

1. Technical Description The S-nozzles are used in the processing of thermoplastics. The nozzle size required depends on the injection rate per second (cm > 3 /s). Clean shut-off of the melt and reliable closing during metering are the functions of an A- nozzle and an essential requirement for a smooth, reliable and economic production proc-ess. The S-nozzle meets these requirements and has a compact, modular design, trouble-free operation and maximized flow geometry. The reliable shut-off system separates the melt flow at a predefined point determined by the process. Systematic wear protection...

5. Integrated melt filter in S-type nozzle General Added use of recycled material demands a final, important filtration directly before inject-ing. For a proper function of the mold (hot runner systems) a final filtration of the recycled material is imperatively needed. The herzog melt filter is based on the so called ΄gap filter principle and will be assem-bled into the existing spring operated shut-off nozzle without any modification. Standard measurements of the filter gap: Nozzle S0 0.3 mm S1 0.5 mm S2 0.8 mm > Standard System Filter System Interchangeable part Retrofitting Just by changing...
