The configurator for hot runner moulds is the optimal tool for all designers. With just
a few clicks, you get the complete mould base including the hot runner manifold in the
usual high quality. Of course, the 3D data is available for download as usual. The
advantages are plain to see. The designer can concentrate on other matters during the
mould design and thus saves valuable time and costs.
YOUR BENEFITS AT A GLANCE:
» Easy and fast configuration of the hot runner mould » High flexibility through individually adjustable nozzle positions » Live display of the manifold and 3D data immediately available » Transparent costs due to immediate price display
» Short lead times of the configured components

FH – CONFIGURATOR FOR HOT RUNNER MOULDS
The configurator for hot
runner moulds can be easily
opened via the ‘FH’ button in
the web shop.
In the first step, the number of
nozzles and the manifold type
are determined.
11
»»
In the next step, the plastic
to be processed and the shot
weight of the component are
entered. Depending on the
version, the material for the
manifold can be selected.
The position of the manifold
in the manifold plate can be
defined by entering the X
and Y coordinates of the feed
point or by entering the nozzle
distance and the angle.
The next step is to enter the
various parameters such as the
radius of the sprue bush (R),
the thickness of the clamping
plate (S) and the nozzle protru-
sion length (T).
The thickness of the manifold
plate (S) and the nozzle length
(l) are automatically calculated
on the basis of these inputs.

FH – CONFIGURATOR FOR HOT RUNNER MOULDS
Now the nozzle tip is
selected.
For the correct gate type,
the information from
the PDF can be used
(from page 16).
The next step is to select the
desired mould size.
The dynamic display of the
mould size optimally shows
the manifold plate relative to
the manifold. In case of doubt,
the next larger or smaller
mould size can be selected.
13
»»
Finally, you get to the familiar
mould bases wizard where
you can select the material
of the manifold plate and the
rest of the plates and com-
ponents required to comple-
te your mould base.
In this step, the temperature
regulation system can be
configured.
The cooling connectors,
sealing plugs, and possi-
ble recesses for the E 2030
Marking chips can now be
selected.
NOTE:
An automatically generated
standard temperature regula-
tion system is only possible if
the angle (W) entered in step
3 is 0°, 90°, 180° or 270°.

The CAD data is transferred
via CADClick. 3D data for all
common CAD systems can
be generated.

GUIDING ELEMENTS
The guiding elements are automatically selected in the
appropriate diameters and lengths and are shown in the
correct position in the 3D model.
ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
Suitable electrical components can be directly ordered from the
shop. 3D data is also available here. This enables the designer
to integrate all components in the design and to keep an eye on
the dimensions.
profiTEMP+ HOT RUNNER CONTROLLER
With both innovative technology and space-saving design, the
profiTEMP+ Hot runner controller from PSG is sure to impress. In
addition to new intelligent functions like Smart Power Limitation
(SPL) and MoldCheck, the tried and trusted features are further
developed in the new hot runner controller. Due to the clearly
designed 7“ multi-touch screen, easy and intuitive operation is
guaranteed.
DELIVERY
The hot runner manifold is completely assembled and tested.
The mould base for the hot runner mould is not pre-assembled,
as in its standard version. This offers the advantage of saving
valuable time by not having to take it apart. The components are
then available much faster for subsequent machining.

GATE DIAMETER DIMENSIONING
DETERMINING THE GATE DIAMETER:
The vestige quality is influenced by many factors such as: gate diameter, wall thickness, plastic type, volume
flow, part weight, temperature regulation / cooling in the gate area. Gate diameters that are too small cause
an inadmissibly high shear, high loss of pressure and high frictional heating. If the gate diameters selected
are too large, this results in inadmissibly high and poor-quality vestige.
RULE:
DIRECT GATING:
» Gate selection according to the graphic, taking the plastic type into consideration
GATING THROUGH COLD RUNNER:
» Gate diameter as large as possible (about 0.5 mm to 1 mm larger; take into consideration stringing and drooling)
The information on the dimensioning of the gate diameter includes only general recommendations, which are based on our calcula-
tions and extensive experience. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the information, as our products are only one part of a complex
production process. For unclear or difficult cases, please contact us.
