Hot Runners As Required

Hot Runner Benefits

  • Faster cycles

  • More uniform parts and color

  • More uniform process control uniformity

  • Less regrind or scrap material

  • Hot runners should be used whenever financially feasible

Steel

As required by customer specifications and primarily S-7 and
A-2 in hardened tooling with P-20 in soft tooling.

Steel selection is dependent on customer specifications and or useful life expectancy of the tool. Steel certifications are on file.
