Hot Runner Components
One of the largest costs associated with maintaining hot runners is the replacement of components such as nozzle assemblies, valve bushings, and spacers. In addition to the cost, production lead times can be excessive, especially for older systems. Hot Runner Technology offers a component repair service that significantly reduces cost while enabling you to bring your hot runner back to its original tolerances.
Nozzle Repairs
The majority of repairs involve the heater leads or terminations that have been damaged either through plastic leakage or mechanical damage. We restore your nozzle heaters to good as new. All at considerable savings over OEM pricing.
Nozzle Seal-Off Repair
A common problem with older systems is wear at the nozzle seal-off diameter, which allows plastic leakage down the nozzle and around the heaters. The Hot Runner Technology solution involves micro welding and grinding the seal-off diameter to the original factory tolerance. The cost is a fraction of a new housing.
Termination Releading/Rewiring
Repairing damaged nozzles offers significant savings over replacement.
Integrally Heated Nozzles
Molders can experience two types of problems. First is damage to the heater termination. Hot Runner Technology has developed a technique to repair even the most damaged termination.
The second is damage to the tip. This typically occurs when trying to remove or replace the tip assembly. We can quickly remove the tip – even carbide – with no damage to the thread or seal-off areas. Hot Runner Technology is also a major supplier of new nozzle assemblies, valve pins, heaters, T/C’s, transfer seals, and tips.
