Global Hot Runner Market Definition

Injection molding processing capabilities were revolutionized by hot runner technology, which was introduced to the plastics industry more than 50 years ago. This technology-enhanced operational efficiencies decreased scrap and improved molded part quality. A molten plastic transporting system used within an injection mold is called a hot runner system. In other terms, an injection molding machine's hot runner system is made up of heated parts that are typically powered by electricity and employed inside plastic injection molds to transfer molten plastic into the cavities of the mold.

The type of resin, injection speed, fill rate, and the molded item is just a few of the variables that affect how big hot runner melt channels should be. The hot runner system inside the injection mold and the resin inside the machine barrel is heated to processing temperature by a temperature controller (standalone controller or controls from the injection molding machine), which then injects the resin into the mold. The resin enters the intake, descends through the manifold, divides at the numerous nozzles, and finally passes through injection points (or gates) into the final mold cavity where the final item is created.

The number of nozzles in a modern mold can range from 1 to over 192, depending on the type of plastic parts being produced. However, the processing of a wider variety of resins for injection molders became more feasible and convenient with the development of hot runner technology with sophisticated thermal controls. The hot runner components are separately heated, as opposed to a cold runner mold, to ensure that the resin maintains the desired temperature throughout the mold. To ensure that the process is suited to each type of resin's requirements and delivers the finest possible part quality, the temperature of each hot runner heated component may also be accurately controlled. Hot runners can now produce incredibly intricate pieces.
