T he redesigned mixing tip on the UltraFlow hot runner nozzle is said to deliver melt homogeneity and part quality, along with rapid color changes for applications such as closures. The hot runners reportedly mix the melt just before it enters the cavity, yielding time, resin, and cost savings. They are also said to improve molecular/filler orientation, for more uniform stress concentrations in parts when compared to traditional tips. Molded parts are said to be less susceptible to warpage, as the uniform molecular structure enables parts to shrink evenly. The mixing action eliminates visible flow lines in parts and provides even colorant dispersal. A standard UltraFlow design can handle up to 26,000 psi and is available with a high-pressure option that can handle up to 35,000 psi.
