摘要

Hot runners have offered molders many production advantages for over 30 years and have evolved substantially since their first appearance on the market. Many different materials ranging from commodity types such as polypropylene and polyethylene to engineering resins such as polycarbonate, glass-filled nylons and polysulfones, are being processed successfully with full hot runner systems. Selecting the right hot runner system up front prevents many production difficulties. The implementation of the selection into the mold is just as critical. This technical article will provide information to help you successfully select and implement the best hot runner system for your application.
