At Fakuma 2021 Oerlikon HRSflow will present the S Series: the new patent pending hot runner line for small applications. Suitable mainly for technical materials, it is the compact solution allowing a reduced pitch.
Depending on the application, the new S series can be equipped with screwed-in or non-screwed-in (face-to-face) nozzles. The inner bore size can be selected according to the shot weight. The design allows a compact mould structure with a minimum nozzle pitch of 37 mm. In the valve gate version, the S-series is combined with either a compact cylinder 62 mm high or, in the version with adjustable needle position, with a 70 mm high cylinder. Extensive internal laboratory tests have ensured an optimal sealing and thermal profile along the whole nozzle. In addition, a special channel geometry enables fast colour changes.
The new S series is suitable for:
• low shot weights
• multi-cavity moulds
• thin-walled components
Typical applications include consumer goods, technical and electronic components as well as small automotive parts such as emblems, interior switches, knobs for sound systems or air conditioning components.
