Hot Half
Product Type
Synventive Hot Halves are provided with a choice of threaded nozzles which provide a leak proof system with superior thermal uniformity. The hot runner systems are sup-plied completely assembled in mold plates, pre-wired, with connections for pneumati-cally actuating valve pins which are fully adjusted to suite for valve gate applications (if required). The Hot Halves are designed to order and provide quick integration to the remainder of the mold by simply install-ing the customer-supplied cavity plate. Systems outside of these guidelines will fall under our custom Hot Half design. Please contact Synventive for further information.
