Fast cycling and thin wall moulds

95% of fast cycling and thin wall moulds require a hot runner system. It is often better to consider the additional cost of a valve gate hot runner system to enable the cavity to be filled as quickly as possible. Moulds range from single cavity to multi-cavity, multi-drop manifold design. The initial cost of a fast cycling mould is higher due to the complexity of design, however these costs are often absorbed due to the increased production of the mould. We do recommend that this design is only used in conjunction with a modern high specification moulding machine. We are happy to recommend the best system for the customer's product.

During the design of a fast cycling mould, close attention will be paid to the choice of steel, hot runner system, water circuits, feed points, venting, split lines and all other technical aspects that will prolong the life of the mould and minimise downtime during maintenance whilst maximising efficiency to achieve the lowest possible cycle time.
