HOT RUNNERS | MACHINERY
red makes operating status visible, even from a distance. Recipes and test reports can be installed and transferred quickly via an integrated USB port. Data is exchanged via the OPC UA interface in accordance with the new Euromap 82.2 standard protocol for hot runner controllers. T-Flow HRS controls the nozzle temperature
precisely, allowing the system to be used univer- sally – even for high performance applications with small, compact nozzles. The modular design allows flexible configuration to meet the respective requirements. The heating options are: simultane- ous heating of all zones with definable temperature deviation; sequential heating; or a combination of both. In addition, several zones can be grouped and parameterised as one zone.
Close cavity Mastip has extended its MX nozzle series – known for its use in multi-cavity and hot half systems – with the MX09 range, which is aimed at close pitch cavity systems.
MX09 will be available in H13 Steel (F1), in both
front and rear loading configurations, with lengths of 55-175mm. MX nozzles are suited to small to medium
applications in multiple markets. It can process a wide range of plastics, from easy polyethylenes to tough engineering resins, according to the company.
Process monitoring At Fakuma, Kistler showed how measurement technology – such as the latest version of its ComoNeo process monitoring system – helps users run plastics processing operations more efficiently. The ComoNeo 7.0 process monitoring system includes a Multiflow 2.0 feature update. The self-learning control algorithm for temperature- controlled hot runner balancing ensures consistent temperature control in multi-cavity moulds, says the
company, which optimises the moulding process. Fully automatic adjustment ensures a high level
of quality over a large number of cycles, reduces scrap and minimises the need for rework. Multiflow 2.0 also stabilises the production process, even during batch fluctuations, and can be integrated into existing systems. At the same time, Gunther Heisskanaltechnik
used Fakuma to introduce two new nozzles for hot runners. Its Prisma nozzles use special internal melt guidance channels. They have three valve gates on a small PCD and perform well with technical polymers in high-volume moulds. In addition, the company showed an extension of its OktaFlow series. The nozzle has two tips and uses a smaller sub-manifold to reduce energy consumption according to Gunther.
