Hot-Runner Nozzle Heaters Get More Compact Clamping Mechanism

摘要

A new clamping system for hot-runner nozzle heaters is said to allow easy installation in tight spaces. Attachment of nozzle heaters is usually by means of a screw and a wedge mechanism. Clamping with this approach reportedly can be quite difficult in small, compact hot-runner blocks with narrow tubular channels, or when the heaters are mounted one behind the other on the nozzle.
