Husky PRONTO Configurable Manifold Systems
Husky’s Pronto manifolds are a line of configurable manifold systems which have all the features of our fully custom
systems minus plates and are offered at lower cost with faster deliveries. Pronto manifold systems provide far greater
flexibility than off-the-shelf or pre-engineered manifold systems. Key features include:
• 2, 4, and 8 Drop configurations
• Infinitely flexible nozzle spacing within upper and lower limits
• Three nozzle sizes (Ultra 500, Ultra 750, and Ultra 1000)
• Sixteen different gating styles including valve gate and thermal gate options
• Every application is reviewed and channel sizes are optimized for the application
• Suitable for a wide range of resins including engineering and filled resins
• Used in a broad variety of markets including housewares, closures, electronics, automotive, medical and more
• Lower cost than custom systems
• Faster delivery than custom systems
This brochure provides information needed to do a preliminary layout of a mold using a Pronto manifold system. For
information about Pronto complete hot runner systems, including plate drawings and standard feature locations please
visit our web site www.hotrunners.com.
Pronto manifold systems come complete with heated sprue bushing, nozzles, all necessary heaters and thermocouples,
associated hardware, and wire clamps. Locating ring and electrical connectors are available upon request.
The resin to be processed should be reviewed with the material compatibility chart on www.hotrunners.com. This will
determine if the application being considered is suitable for the Pronto manifold and nozzle/gating combination. The
appropriate melt channel sizes will be selected by Husky based on the resin and part information provided.
Please confirm all dimensions and nozzle suitability by contacting Husky.

PRONTO Manifold System Selection
To configure Pronto Manifold Systems follow the three simple steps be low.
1 Determine the nozzle pitch required for the mold design and ensure that it is within the allowable range for the desired
size of plates
2 Select the nozzle size and gating method best suited for your application
3 Select the desired nozzle length based on L -dimension range available for the selected gating style
For example, with an Ultra 750 4-L type manifold with a pitch of 72.35 mm and 221.80mm using valve gated VG tips and
44.45 mm L -dimension, order:
MS7504L072.35/221.80M-VG044.45
MS750
4L072.35/221.80M
Always "M" for
metric
Y-dimension (for 4H/4LTypes only center of
manifold to outer drop in
mm, two decimals)
X-dimension (center of

For example with an Ultra 750 4-L type mani fold with a pitch of 2.125" an d 3.875" using thermal gated HT tip s and 2.375" L
-dimension order:
MS7504L1.125/3.875I-HT2.375
MS750

NOTE: These values are absolute. However, these values cannot be combined otherwise interference will result
(i.e. X=25.0 and Y=25.4 is incompatible). To verify that your pitch is acceptable, refer to the table below and solve
for X & Y using the following calculation:
U500VG / U750VG / U750HT
X + 1.47Y - 83.7 >= 0
U500HT

If X and Y both satisfy the equation, then the pitch and sprue offset values can be incorporated into Pronto 2T.
