Overview
This document provides technical information on Synventive's Hot Runner Manifolds, Series VI, used in injection molding applications. It includes product specifications, component descriptions, dimensional data, and configuration options for manifold systems.

1. Product Description and Components

The Series VI hot runner manifolds are designed for precise melt flow control in injection molding. Key components include:

• Manifold block with integrated heaters, connections, and thermocouples
• Inlet bushings (heated or unheated)
• Centre support
• Dowels
• Support pads

Hardened inserts are recommended for durability but are not supplied with the system. The manifolds are available in standard shapes (I, H, X, Y) and customizable shapes to meet specific customer requirements.

2. Dimensional Specifications

Major dimensions are provided in millimeters, including manifold block size, inlet bushing diameters, cut-out sizes, thickness, width, and flow bore diameters. Typical values include:

• Manifold block dimensions: 85 mm x 97 mm
• Maximum inlet bushing diameter: 25 mm
• Flow bore diameters ranging from 5 mm to 25 mm
• Expansion gaps and support heights specified for stability and thermal expansion

Dimension values depend on the selected nozzle and material, with detailed data available in the Synventive Hot Runner Guide.

3. Inlet Bushings Configuration

Inlet bushings can be configured as either short, unheated bushings or heated bushings of various lengths. The document provides a coding system for specifying inlet bushings based on length and size, allowing precise customization to application needs.

4. Attached Parts and Accessories

Additional components such as centre supports, dowels, and support pads are available to ensure proper assembly and function of the manifold system. These parts are selected based on nozzle size and application requirements.

5. Manifold Types and Styles

Three main manifold styles are described:

• Standard Shape Manifolds: Designed for common cavity and runner layouts (I, H, X, Y shapes), with nozzle counts indicated by numbers.
• Customized Shape Manifolds: Tailored to customer specifications using Series VI components.
• Bridge Manifolds: Enable combination of multiple manifolds into a single feed system, also customized per customer needs.

6. Design and Application Guidance

For detailed design, application information, and specific dimension values, users are directed to consult the Synventive Hot Runner Guide. Illustrations in the document are schematic and not to scale, emphasizing the need for consultation for precise engineering.

Critical Notes and Recommendations

• Hardened inserts are recommended for wear resistance but must be sourced separately.
• Dimension values vary with nozzle and material selection; always verify with official guides.
• Customization options allow adaptation to complex molding requirements.
• Standard manifold shapes facilitate common industrial applications, while customized and bridge manifolds support specialized configurations.

For further technical support or specific application advice, direct consultation with Synventive is advised.
