25 molding technologies www.smart-molding.com that all Heat-Inject connections are combined on the central connection plate of the hot runner system, for ex - ample, eliminates the need for time- consuming installing and connecting of individual cables or hoses in the mold - everything is already mounted in a module and can be inserted in the sense of "plug and produce" after all adjustment actions have taken place." An essential part of using Heat-Inject, continues Frank Daniel, is clarifying in advance whether and how Heat-Inject can be used. INCOE offers a multi- stage process for this, consisting of a feasibility study, a quotation, and support with coordination, installation and sampling. "A big advantage for us with this new product is that we can build on Hotset's many years of expe - rience and thus offer our customers additional benefits that have already proven themselves in practice." Chris - tian Striegel adds. INCOE www.incoe.com The mode of action of Heat-Inject shown by an example: A heat pulse at the confluence of two melt flows behind a hole makes the weld line invisible. Where otherwise a weld line may become visible due to molding geometry and gating, the heat pulse from Heat-Inject ensures good surface quality. "Plug and Produce" or "Unplug and Service": The hot runner system as a carrier platform for innovative temperature control technology to optimize molding and process quality for products with demanding surfaces.
