Mold-Masters Offers New Shut-off Feature on its Patented Melt-Disk Nozzle |
Georgetown, Ontario,
October 3, 2008
Mold-Master’s patented Melt-Disk technology – hot tip side entry gating system – has changed the way molders and mold makers think about gating long cylindrical parts.
“The Melt-Disk has provided our customers with a viable alternative for the traditional hot to cold systems used in this field or for side gated parts with stringent filling conditions. For Mold-Masters, the Melt-Disk has been an absolute success from a product development perspective. It is truly unique and offers a very strong value proposition for our customers”, says Patrick Bennett, Mold-Master’s Executive Vice President.
“After we launched the product in 2006 we found that some customers did not utilize the maximum cavitation of 8 gates within a disk because a single cavity could not be shut-off within the cluster. They did not want to have to shutdown 8 cavities because there was one defective part in the cluster. We now have a solution for this with the introduction of the Melt-Disk shut-off feature”, says Bruce Catoen, Vice President of Product Development and Marketing.
Within the Melt-Disk cluster each nozzle tip now has a manual shut-off feature which can be accessed via the front of the tool. By simply turning the shut-off 90 degrees any individual gate can be turned on or off. |
