HOT RUNNERS | TECHNOLOGY
corresponding actual process data provides the possibility to check the process stability and to take measures where necessary. Several users can connect to a control unit at the same time. However, only one participant can take control, while the remaining ones only receive information about the respective status. It is possible, however, to pass over control to another user. Integrated into the customer’s network, the HMI 4.0 allows for controlling FlexFlow hot runner systems from any location via PC or tablet, using an internet browser. Oerlikon HRSflow has also developed a range of hot runners tailored to small shot weights and the new Xp nozzle series for use in thin-wall injection moulding. Both support the trend towards greater sustainability by helping to reduce energy con- sumption in plastics processing. The company says that it now offers complete systems for the small shot market segment, which require tight nozzle pitch solutions. These include nozzles with small dimensions in all designs, from thermal gate to valve gate, as well as the associated manifolds and actuation mechanisms. For multi-cavity applica- tions, a multi-valve plate (MVP) provides synchro-
nised control of the injection channel across all cavities for high part-to-part weight consistency. The new low shot weight system line covers
market segments such as medical technology, thin-walled packaging, and packaging for bever- ages and domestic goods. The latest version of the system is also highly reliable for processing biopoly- mers and PCR compounds. A version with a spe- cially coated nozzle tip is available for processing highly corrosive polymers including flame retardant compounds. For demanding applications, Oerlikon HRSflow uses its in-house additive manufacturing process SLM (Selective Laser Melting) technology to produce cooling circuits for all market segments. Through Oerlikon Balzers, the company also offers surface protection for all moulded part surfaces to increase their corrosion resistance. The new Xp series of valve gate nozzles from
Oerlikon HRSflow is designed to withstand high filling pressures of up to 2,200 bar and enables fast injection and cycle times in a stable process with high part weight consistency. A solution for stack systems in thin-wall injection moulding has also been developed. Assembly is simplified and highly efficient due to a plug-and-play installation. This
