Valve gate

    A component of a hot runner system.

    The sprues from the hot runner drop through the cavity plate to the part. Each sprue has a rod that can be moved forward to cut off flow through the sprue.

    Opening and closing valve gates under specified conditions allows a better control of the flow front and a lower pressure drop. This method results in lower filling pressure and reduction in the number of weld lines in the plastic part.
