| Features & Benefits |
| Core lock type stack design |
 |
Thread splits are locked in position by lock rings before mould closing to minimize wear of thread split tapers on the cavity side for a long flash-less service life of thread splits |
 |
Preform collar is placed inside the thread splits to minimize clamping force requirement and resulting stress on the mould and clamping unit |
| Modular cavity construction |
 |
Replaceable cavity lock ring; a wear part separated from cavity for inexpensive and easy replacement |
 |
Replaceable gate insert; a wear part separated from cavity for inexpensive and easy replacement |
 |
Cavity never needs to be replaced |
 |
No axial load on cavity allowing the use of lower steel section thickness and faster cooling |
| Precision machined and finished |
 |
Weight variation across cavities is minimal |
 |
Excellent concentricity between core and cavity for minimum wall thickness variation |
 |
Consistent dimensions across cavities |
 |
Flash-less parting lines |
 |
Good mould life due to perfect matching of components under load |
| Large gate diameter and generous venting |
 |
Permits short injection and hold times |
 |
Resin is exposed to less stress during injection |
| Thread splits manufactured from corrosion resistant steel |
| Gate thermally insulated from hot runner nozzle and aggressively cooled |
 |
Low crystallinity in the gate area of the preform |
| Cavity and core manufactured from highly conductive, tough and wear resistant steel |
 |
Fast and efficient cooling |
 |
Highly resistant to mechanical failure |
| Wet area maximized in gate, cavity, thread splits and core |
 |
Fast and efficient cooling |
| Cooling water channels in gate, cavity, thread splits and core, designed for turbulent flow at minimum flow rates |
 |
Ensures fast and efficient heat exchange between steel and water |
 |
Chilled water pump consumes less energy |
 |
Requires a smaller flow rate pump |
| Cooling channels of cavity and core plated for lifelong corrosion resistance |
 |
No deterioration of cooling rate over time |
| Large channel diameter for chilled water transport in mould base |
 |
Low pressure drop in water distribution channels resulting in energy conservation |
 |
Less pressure demand on the pump |
| All stack components hardened to over 50 HRC and cryogenically treated |
 |
Highly wear resistant |
 |
Resistant to plastic deformation and changes in dimensions |
 |
Cryogenic treatment increases wear resistance and toughness beyond what is possible with a conventional hardening process |
 |
Long service life |
| PVD coatings (optional) |
 |
Extremely wear resistant to protect surfaces from wear |
 |
Easier ejection with lower ejection forces |
| Mold base plates hardened and plated for corrosion resistance |
 |
Highly rigid to withstand clamping forces without deformation |
 |
Provides adequate support to stack components |
 |
Extremely resistant to corrosion |
 |
Long service life |
| Ergonomic |
 |
Cores, core lock rings, thread splits, and cavity lock rings can be changed with the mould in the machine, for quick and easy servicing |
 |
Only one chilled water inlet and outlet for each mould section, with distribution channels drilled into the mould base plates, for quick mould change and low probability of water leakages |
 |
Quick coupling connectors for quick mould change |
| Cavity Spacing as low as 50 mm x 120 mm (micro-pitch) for thread diameters of up to 30 mm |
 |
Permits the use of higher number of cavities for any machine size for higher productivity |
| Standardization of components |
 |
Reduction in spares inventory for a group of moulds |
 |
Easy servicing |
| Customized to fit any appropriate hot runner |
| Customized to fit any injection moulding or ISBM machine |
