Thermoplastic hot runner system ULTRASHOT™

for medical applicationsmulti-cavity

The newest family of Husky hot runners—UltraShot™—offers dramatic advances over traditional injection technology. The UltraShot™ hot runner injection molding system features a servo-controlled injection system that permits more precise melt control than ever—right in the gate. How? By positioning the shooting pots in closer proximity to the gates and pressurizing the resin near the cavities, which reduces shear and thermal variations in part quality and performance. This enables part designers ultimate part freedom, removing design barriers caused by injection molding process constraints. Manufacturing, Efficiently More importantly, while the melt in a conventional hot runner can go through many high-pressure injection cycles, the melt in UltraShot hot runners experiences far fewer. This means that the UltraShot system creates less stress in the part and produces less scrap and waste, resulting in better visual quality of the finished part. Because the properties of the resin are retained, the quality of part production is significantly improved compared to a conventional hot runner system. Now, a finished molded part can be produced in just one manufacturing step and in one production cell, instead of several. This is especially valuable to medical molders, because it reduces the number of step-by-step processes and product validations required, helping to get products to market faster, with a significantly reduced manufacturing footprint.
