REASONS FOR USING A SHUT-OFF NOZZLE
Methods
- Dosing with retracted injection units (sprue break)
- High-speed unit, very short cycle times
- Multi-component injection
- Vertical injection process
- Mold decompression
- Special applications (GIT, MuCell and others)
- Filter, thermal conduction and mixer applications
Industries / Applications
- Packaging industry
- Automobile industry
- Medical technology
- Electrical engineering
- Engineering plastics
- Sports equipment, outdoor
Productivity factors
- Material saving by eliminating drooling, stringing, leakage
- Reduction in waste
- Reduction in cycle times
- Process, environmental and safety aspects
- Homogenization improvement with increased back pressure and mixers
MACHINE NOZZLE NEEDLE SHUT-OFF
TYPE A(S)
The original needle shut-off nozzle from Herzog which has over the years enabled thousands of processors increase productivity. Strong, reliable and above all economical; it can be adapted to any machine type with the simplest of installations.
Productivity factors
- Shorter cycle times → increased productivity
- Clean shut-off of the melt stream
- Quick installation
- Filter option
TYPE HP
The pneumatically or hydraulically controlled nozzle type HP (High Performance) has a needle shut-off which stops the melt stream directly at the mold interface. The HP nozzle is adaptable with several different technologies such as; MuCell® and other physical foaming procedures or melt pre-compression.
Productivity factors
- Shorter cycle times → increased productivity
- Controlled shut-off at nozzle tip / mold interface
- Usability with increased back pressure → improved homogenisation
- Process reliability with sensors
- Filter & mixer options
- Retrofit capability
MACHINE NOZZLE BOLT SHUT-OFF
TYPE BHP
The pneumatically or hydraulically actuated machine bolt shut-off nozzle type BHP, is used principally in processing of shear sensitive materials and also in combination with hot runner systems. The straight and large melt-flow channel provides optimal rheological conditions.
Productivity factors
- Shorter cycle times → increased productivity
- Controlled shut-off of the melt stream
- Usability with increased back pressure → improved homogenisation
- Improved process reliability
- Retrofit capability
MACHINE NOZZLE NEEDLE SHUT-OFF
TYPE E(ELASTOMERS)
The pneumatically controlled nozzle type NE (Elastomer) has a needle shut-off which stops the melt stream directly at the mold interface. The NE nozzle is specifically designed for use in elastomer processing. Rubber, liquid silicone rubber and other elastomers can be processed without fear of vulcanisation due to the nozzle’s integrated cooling system which uniquely regulates temperature through the entire nozzle.
Productivity factors
- Shorter cycle times → increased productivity
- Controlled shut-off at nozzle tip / mold interface
- Simple installation
- Fast shut-off reaction
- Rust-free
- Retrofit capability
