HOT RUNNER SYSTEM HOT HALVES: ONE PLATE/DOUBLE PLATE HOT HALVES DOUBLE PLATES * The hot half is supplied with the manifold and necessary plates for the manufacture of the injection half of the tool * No need for the Customer to machine clearances for the hot runner system * Both the electrical and pneumatic wiring are provided according to the customers' specifications * Proper warer circuits are provided inside the Hot Half * Once received, the Customer only needs to assemble it into the rest of the mold * Easier maintenance HOT HALVES SINGLE PLATE This type of Hot Half is carried out with the use of a single plate where the hot runner system is housed. This format can only be used with screwed-in systems given that these types of nozzle do not need to be centered in the underlying plate. One plate can be therefore eliminated and, as a consequence, the entire hot runner system is centered and fixed in the remaining plate (in the opposite way to 'standard' systems). This allows * A reduction in system thickness and weight * A reduction in system costs * Easier assembling and maintenance * and not necessarily at the same time
