This new type of single valve gate has been developed by Thermoplay with the purpose to contain the overall dimension facilitating the installation inside the mould and to maintain at the same time an optimal balancing of the melt flow. The Thermoplay single nozzle is provided with four flow channels, which divide the melt flow in homogeneous and uniform way.
The overall dimensions have been reduced (head diameter is 86 mm for all the diameters) in comparison to the preceding version, for also allowing the installation on small size moulds.
The available diameters and types include the range of the standard nozzles Thermoplay FN, with diameters: 16, 24, 32 and 46 mm.
The tip group is provided with a new pin guide that allows an optimal centring of the pin in proximity of the gate to reduce the wear of the cavity. The pin stroke is 16 mm to obtain improvement of flow rate on the injection point.
The pin drive bushing inside the shut off group features a wide seal to reduce the material stagnation inside the single nozzle. As consequence, it is no longer necessary to eliminate the gases produced by the polymer during the moulding process.
