Available in either hot tip or valve gate configurations, the drop-in hot-runner system’s nozzles are attached to a manifold via a connecting collar, which enables them to freely rotate during installation and allows for precise alignment of the connection cables with the mold cutouts. The nozzle position is then fixed by tightening the connecting collar, thereby eliminating the possibility of plastic leakage between the manifold and nozzle. Quick and easy nozzle disassembly and reassembly facilitates maintenance.

The nozzles use the same integrated heater design found in all standard Ewikon nozzles. The heater is pressed into a channel that is milled directly into the melt-carrying pressure tube. This design provides stable heating with minimal heat loss, resulting in an even temperature profile along the whole length of the nozzle, making the system suitable for processing a wide range of materials including engineering plastics and reinforced materials.

The L2X system is available in two fully balanced manifold versions with nozzle lengths up to 350 mm and flow channel diameters from 6 to 12 mm. Other dimensions are available upon request.
