Apr 17, 2020
The hot runner mold has the following advantages:
1. Reduce waste ratio of parts and improve part quality;
2. Reduce product deformation and improve product appearance;
3. Improve productivity and achieve automated production;
4. Expand and improve the consistency and balance of products;
4. Shorten the molding cycle of parts;
5. Very suitable for the use of multi-cavity molds;
Although compared with cold runner molds, hot runner molds have their significant advantages, but they also have unavoidable shortcomings. The hot runner mold is relatively complicated, so its maintenance cost is relatively high. If used improperly, the hot runner accessories are easily damaged. And the maintenance cost of the cold runner is relatively low, and the delivery time is relatively fast. The only drawback is that the hot runner system will leak. But this does not affect that the hot runner is more suitable than the cold runner, and it is not enough to affect the reason for using the hot runner mold.
