Hot Runners in Injection Moulds

The technology of hot runners in plastic moulds is becoming more widely used, and this has been accompanied by an increase in the range of hot runner systems available. The aim of this book is to give an objective view of the topic based on personal experience. It introduces a logical division of hot runner systems, illustrates the design of nozzles, manifolds and other system components, discusses the principles of selection, building, installation and use, analyses the causes of faults and suggests ways of eliminating them, and presents examples of applications.
