Progressive provides the best solution to prevent mold-damaging strings: A patented new machine nozzle tip dramatically reduces solidification time, the root cause of string formation.
Progressive Components provides the best solution to prevent mold-damaging strings. A patented new machine nozzle tip dramatically reduces the solidification time, the root cause of string formation.• No need to increase cycle times, use smaller orifice sizes, or nozzle tips with restrictive internal bores in order to stop nozzle stringing.• Proven successful with commodity and engineering grade materials, both filled and non-filled
Technical Information:• Heat-conducting thermal fins extend 75% into the melt stream, for rapid solidification.• Reduced tip mass provides faster thermal equilibrium and shorter cycle times.• Flow area equivalent to Full Flow style tips, for minimal increase in shear and pressure.• Hardened 420 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long life.• Large internal transition radius virtually eliminates “dead spots”, where material can stagnate.• Reduced face diameter increases machine’s nozzle touch force, reduces blowback, and eliminates the need for nozzle insulators.• The ½” nozzle radius is actually 0.496”. Together with the sand blasted surface finish, it ensures a proper seal with the sprue bushing, which prevents material leaks and air infiltration.• Land lengths vary with the orifice size. The larger the orifice, the longer the land length, for increased thermal conductivity.• Engraved orifice size helps reduce mold set-up time.
