Automotive Applications Overview
This section outlines various applications of hot runner systems in automotive component production, detailing specifications, solutions, and benefits for parts like fan wheels, B-pillar covers, bumper strips, C-pillar covers, wheel arch liners, front end modules, and dashboards.
Specifications and Procedures
  • Fan Wheels for Car Air Conditioning: Uses a 2-cavity mould with an externally heated 2-port hot runner system for precision in dimensions and concentricity.
  • B-Pillar Covers: Produced using a family mould with a similar hot runner system for identical material conditions.
  • Bumper Strips: Employs a 5-port hot runner system with valve gate nozzles to avoid flow lines and marks.
  • C-Pillar Covers: Uses a 10-port runner system with valve gate nozzles for gentle back-filling and uniform moulding quality.
  • Wheel Arch Liners: Produced with a 6-port hot runner system for differentiated filling and reduced cycle time.
  • Front End Modules: Utilizes an 11-port runner system optimized for long glass fibre-reinforced materials.
  • Dashboards: Produced using a 10-port runner system with direct gating.
Benefits
  • Increased productivity and quality with multi-cavity moulds.
  • Optimized filling conditions for individual cavities.
  • High dimensional accuracy and form stability.
  • Reduction in cycle time and reworking.
  • Production with minimized sprue waste.
Recommendations
Consultation with Synventive is recommended for specific applications to tailor hot runner systems to unique component requirements.
Technical Specifications for Car Interior Components
This section discusses the technical specifications and benefits of using specific moulding systems for car interior dashboards and windows, highlighting injection-compression moulding and 2-component processes.
Specifications
  • Part Weight: 5000 g
  • Material: PC (Polycarbonate)
  • Mould Type: Rotary stack mould and turning platen mould
  • No. of Cavities: 1+1 for car windows, 16 for dashboards
Procedures
  • For car windows, a transparent base element is produced using injection-compression moulding, followed by a dark edge using a 2-component process.
  • An externally heated 1-port runner system with a screw fit manifold nozzle is used for the base element.
  • The dark edge is produced using an 11-port runner system with valve gate manifold nozzles.
Benefits
  • Gentle and clean melt transport.
  • Direct connection of demanded injection points.
  • Good gating quality with respect to separation and appearance.
  • Possibility of influencing mould cavity filling with valve gate nozzles operating in a cascade.
Recommendations
Consultation with Synventive is advised for optimal system configuration and performance.
