CAVITY DESIGN
To maximize the integrity and life of the gate area, various factors must be considered:
Recessed Gate Areas
When designing gates into recessed areas such as
dimples, a generous radius should be incorporated to
avoid extended thin sections of plate steel (see figure at
right).
Nozzle Seal Off Diameter
To provide a durable nozzle seal diameter surface in the
gate bubble, a surface hardness range between 49 - 53
Rc is recommended (see figure at right). If softer
materials are used (e.g. BeCu), these should be hard
chrome plated to increase hardness.
Gate Steel
Hardened tool steels such as 49 - 51 Rc AISI H13/DIN 1.2344 provide a good combination of strength and ductility.
Nozzle Seal Off Diameter
Thin Section
EDM Process
It is not recommended to EDM (electro-discharge machine) the gate area. A hardened surface layer resulting from the
EDM procedure makes the steel increasingly brittle, potentially leading to premature gate failure . It is also g ood pr actice to
machine the gate hole after hardening to avoid brittleness, caused by rapid quenching.
Gate Cooling
Gate area cooling is required to remove excess heat generate d
by the system. Sufficient cooling provides many benefits
including:
• Consistent gate quality
• Consistent gate vestige
• Greater control over material stringing
• Greater control over resin drool
• Greater control of gate blushing
• Faster cycles

Optimized Gate Cooling (Key Elements)
1) Minimize the distance from the cooling channel to the gate
detail The maximum recommended distance between the
cooling channel and the gate detail is 3 times the cooling
channel diameter.
2) Cooling should surround the insert. The cooling water should
reach flow speeds that cause effective mixing of the fluid. For
most inserts, a flow rate of about 6.8 - 8.3 liters (1.8 - 2.2 gallons)
per minute is sufficient.
Design Guidelines
3) The gate insert material affects heat dissip ation and longevity.
Insert materials such as H13 (material of choice) and 420 SS are
7x less heat conductive than BeCu Alloys. The trade-off with
conductivity is hardness and gate life. Material choice will
depend upon the number of projected cycles and the cycle time
goals,
Independent Circuits
The cavity plate cooling circuit should be independent of the
manifold plate cooling circuit. This prevents coolant from leaking
onto the hot runner components whenever the plates are
separated.

Gate Inserts
Gate inserts provide an effective method of cooling the
gate area, since the entire circumference is cooled.
Cooling circuits for the gate insert should be
independent from the plate cooling circuit to provide
better control. The gate insert is a replaceable wear
item.

Cavity Plate Interface Bolts
Cavity plate interface bolts are used to fasten the cavity plate to
the hot runner.
The interface bolts should be installed from the clamp (moving)
side of the cavity plate, to enable separation of the cavity plate
while the mold is still secured within the machine press.
Latching
Nozzle tips, nozzle thermocouples, nozzle heaters, and nozzles
are replaceable while the hot runner remains in the press,
minimizing downtime when performing main te na nc e.

Machine Nozzle Requirements
To prevent pressure loss, dead spots, and to provide a leak-free
seal, the mating surfaces and orifice diameters of the machine
nozzle and sprue bushing must match.
To optimize hot runner performance, the sprue bushing orifice
should be the same diameter as the primary sprue bushing flow
channel.
Shut Off Nozzle
Resin decompression within the hot runner melt channels is re qu ire d for each molding cycle. Resin decompression is
essential for controlling gate vestige and minimizing material stringing.
Husky recommends that a shut-off nozzle be incorporated onto the machine injection unit. The shut off nozzle:
• Allows screw recovery after decompression without re-pressurizing the melt within the hot runner system.
• Enables screw recovery during mold open, which may lead to reduced cycle times.
Melt Filters
Melt filters are used to screen out any contaminants that may be present within the melt. However, melt filters increase
pressure loss, and can prevent material decompression. Melt filters ar e not recommend ed when mold ing small p art s, since
decompression is essential for producing consistent small gate vestige.

AISI P20 30 - 35 Rc
AISI 420 30 - 35 Rc
DIN 1.2316 30 - 35 Rc
Manifold Pocket / Pillar Support
Husky recommends that a pocket be machined into
the manifold plate for the manifold. The manifold
pocket:
• Allows close positioning of the plate bolts to the
nozzle components, minimizing plate deflection.
• Provides superior structural support for the mold
and cavities.
An air gap should be maintained between the manifold
and manifold pocket to thermally insulate the manifold
from the surrounding plates.
The structural rigidity of the design is increased with
the incorporation of pillar supports. Pillar supports:
• Resist manifold plate deflection, by absorbing
machine clamping pressure.
• Pillars allow additional fastening of the manifold
plate to the backing plate within the manifold
pocket.

VALVE GATING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
To ensure optimum gate quality, valve stems must respond q uickly to the ope n/clo se signa ls. To avoid sluggish valve stem
movement, the following should be considered prior to installation:
• Air supply should be clean and dry at a pressure
between 550-830 kPa (80-120 psi). For thin wa ll
parts and engineering re sins the pressure should
be between 100-120 psi.
• A four way solenoid valve is required to activate
valve stems.
• Quick exhaust valves should be installed on both
air lines to increase the speed at which the stems
open and close.
• Quick air disconnects are not recommended
since these can cause flow restrictions.
• Air plumbed direct from compressor.
• Minimize length of air lines.
• Use a Husky Air Kit for optimal performance.

CONTROLLER INTERFACE
Voltage Supply
To determine the correct manifold heater wattage, the available voltage supply must be specified. This practice is
necessary since a significant wattage reduction can occur if the lower voltage is not compensated for. For a given heater
the power output at 208V is only 75% of that at 240V.
Voltage Supply Wattage
240 V 2,880 W
208 V 2,160 W
Amperage Limitations
The amperage limit for each zone of the temperature controller needs to be identified. This ensures that the manifold
heaters will not exceed the amperage limit.
Electrical Connectors
Electrical connectors are supplied with complete hot runner
systems (optional for manifold systems). Refer to Electrical
Connectors in the Accessories Section for installation

STACK HOT RUNNER
HUSKY offers 2 level and 4 level stack hot runners in Ultra 250,
Ultra 500, Ultra 750, Ultra 1000 and 1250 series nozzles. A 2
level stack mold will nearly double the output per machine of a
single face mold; using a 4 level stack mold, productivity gains
increase to nearly four times. Husky’s experience gained in
building over 1500 stack hot runners assures that all aspects of
integrating the hot runner into the mold will be taken into account
during design.

MACHINE REQUIREMENTS FOR STACK MOLD OPERATION
In order to successfully run a stack mold; a molding machine must meet several criteria:
Injection unit
The injection unit must be able to provide double the shot weight, plasticizing ability, and injection rate than would be
required for a comparable single face mold.
Sprue Break Capability
The machine must feature sprue break capability. The injection unit of the machine must retract from the sprue bar to
provide clearance to prevent collision and possible damage between the injection nozzle and sprue bar when the mold
closes.
Shut-off Nozzle
Upon sprue bar disengagement from the machine injection nozzle, a shut-off nozzle on the injection unit is necessary to
prevent resin drooling.
Shut Height Requirements
Sta ck mold applications require approximately doubl e the mold shut height and clamp stroke requirements re lative to single
face applications.
Center Section Support
The machine tie bars must provide accurate alignment of the hot runner during mold open and close. The machine
specifications must be reviewed to ensure that the tie bars provide sufficient support and accurate repetitive alignment.
Clamp
The clamp will require approximately 10t greater tonnage. This increased tonnage is necessary to oppose the force exerted
by the machine nozzle on the movable platen which is usually opposed by the stationary platen.

SPRUE BAR
The purpose of the sprue bar is to transfer the molten resin
from the machine injection unit to the center section. When
the mold is in the closed position, the machine nozzle seats
against the sprue bar. When the mold opens the sprue bar
moves with the center section and disengages from the
machine nozzle.
• Husky calculates the correct sprue bar length based on the mold shut height and the required mold opening stroke.
This ensures that the end of the sprue bar remains guided in th e stationary platen when the mold is in the open position
and that it will not contact the machine nozzle prematurely on mold close.
• The sprue bar is aligned to the machine n ozzle by the sprue ba r guide, wh ich is inst alled behind the locating ring, or on
the cavity plate. To prevent damage during operation, the sprue bar must not pull out of the sprue bar guide during the
mold opening stroke.
Sprue Bar
Guide
ANTI-DROOL BUSHING
The function of the anti-drool bushing is to minimize
the amount of resin that drools out of the sprue bar
when it is not in contact with the machine nozzle. As
the sprue bar moves with the center section during
mold open, the residual melt pressure in the manifold
forces the anti-drool bushing backward

OFFSET SPRUE BAR
When the sprue bar can not be positioned at the mold centerline, an offset sprue bar can be used. Using an offset sprue

bar can be positioned at any side of the mold.

CENTER SECTION SUPPORT TYPES
The center section of a stack mold is supported by the tie bars of the injection molding machine using one of three
methods.
• Horizontal Support
• Vertical Support
• Machine Mounted Carrier
For all three methods, it is essential that the machine be level to avoid unnecessary wear on the mold and machine
components caused by misalignment.
Horizontal Support
The horizontal support a ppro ach uses an H-shap ed sle d that rid es on the lower machine tie bars to suppor t the hot run ner.
The upper machine tie bars are used to guide the sled during normal operation. The wide stance of the horizontal support
enables the weight of the hot runner to be evenly distributed along a wide section of the machine tie bars. A horizontal
support is used when the mold is wider than the machine tie bar spacing. For safety reasons the mold must be at least as
wide as the center to center tie bar spacing. The mold must also have a minimum of 70,0mm (2.76") and a maximum of
120,0mm (4.72") clearance over the lower tie bars and a min imum of 30,0mm (1.18") cleara nce beneath the upper tie bar s.

CONTROLLED CENTER SECTION MOVEMENT
Controlled movement of the center section is critical to ensure that as the mold opens, the hot runner always remains
centered between the clamp and injection sides of the mold. The recommended methods of controlling center section
movement include:
• Rack and Pinion Mechanism (Single and Multiple Gea r)
• Harmonic Linkage Mechanism (available only with Husky machines)
The method employed for a given application is customer specified. Each method is examined in greater detail in the
sections that follow.
Rack and Pinion Mechanism
With the rack and pinion single gear mechanism, two racks are employed per mold side. The top rack is fastened to the
clamp side while the bottom rack is fastened to the injection side.
Design Considerations:
• Machine stroke must be 25,0 mm (0.98") less than the mold shut height to ensure that rack e nga gement is main tained.
