HUSKY offers a full line of standard plate size hot runners which have all the fe atures of our custom systems but are
offered at lower cost and faster deliveries. SP-series plates have been designed to mate with D-M-E and National
industry-standard mold bases and the manifolds have been designed to provide a large degree of flexibility when laying
out cavities. Other series are also available for Hasco (KP) mold bases, Futaba (FP) mold bases and OMNI (MP) Mold
Systems mold bases.
Pronto hot runners are available in 2, 4, and 8 drop configurations with VG, VX, HT & TS Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 nozzles.
The plastic material to be processed should be reviewed with the material compatibility chart available on
www.hotrunners.com. This will determine if the application being considered is suitable for the Pronto manifold and nozzlegating 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 referring to www.hotrunners.com or by calling Husky.

PRONTO Hot Runner System Selection
Pronto Hot Runners are designed to mate directly with the most popular industry standard mold bases. Replacing the top
clamp plate of a standard mold set with a Husky hot runner will give you a complete runnerless mold solution. Pronto SPseries systems are available with 40 different sizes of plates which can be ordered in 2, 4, and 8-drop manifold
configurations. Flexible nozzle spacing and L-dimensions and 8 gating styles provide maximum flexibility.
Standard features and options of Pronto Hot Runner Systems include:
•Flexible nozzle spacing within allowable range for given plate size
•4 guide pins located such that they will not interfere with mold leader pins or return pins. 3/4" or 16mm diameter on 17
7/8" x 23 1/2" and smaller plates, 1" or 20mm diameter on larger plates
•A large number of ½"-13 UNC or M12 cavity plate interface taps of which a minimum number must be incorporated into
the mold design
•Industry standard air fittings on the non-operator side of the mold and water fittings on the bottom of the mold
•For 2 and 4 drop systems a choice of: two 24-pin connectors, o ne 24-pin an d one 25-pin, on e 16-pin and one 25-pin or
two 16-pin electrical connectors located on top of the hot runner with a flexible wiring sequence
•For 8 drop systems a choice of: four 24-pin connectors, two 24-pin and two 25-pin, two 16-pin and two 25-pin or four
16-pin electrical connectors located on top of the ho t ru nn er w ith a flexib le wirin g se qu en ce

•Choice of flat, ½", ¾", 10.0mm, 15.5mm, 20.0mm or 40.0mm spherical radius sprue bushing interface
•Clamp slots (always on operator and non-operator plate sides)
•Plunger shut-off standard (Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 VG & VX). Ultr a 500 and Ultra 750 taper available upon request.
HUSKY recommends the use of a 25mm (1") spacer plate between the cavity plate and the hot runner plates if any mold
components require steel back-up. The orientation of the manifolds within the hot runner plates and the thickness of the
plates is pre-determined by Husky.

4 Drop H-Type Advantages:
The 4 drop H-Type provides increased flexibility concerning drop positioning (note- all drops are symmetrical to
one another). Determining which layout option to select, is dependent upon whether your drops are positioned
inside the guidepins vertically (Layout 1) or horizontally (Layout 2),
When determining drop locations, consider the following:
Y2
•If drop locations fall within the shaded region shown in Layout 1, X1/Y1 pitch maximums must be used.
•If drop locations fall within the shaded region shown in Layout 2, X2/Y2 pitch maximums must be used.
•There is a common region defined by X1/Y2. If your drops fall within these parameters, Layout 1 or Layout 2
can be used.
•Incompatible configurations are X2/Y1.

To configure Pronto hot runners follow the three simple steps below.
1Determine the nozzle pitch required for the mold design and ensure that it is within the allowable range for the desired
size of plates.
2Select the gating method suitable to your application
3Select the desired nozzle length based on L-dimension range availab le for the selected gating style
For example, for a 9 7/8 x 20 hot runner, 2A-Type manifold, 750 nozzle size, 4.875" X-dimension, valve gated VG tips and
"SP" for SP-seires
with imperial
screws and
guidepins.

STEP 1 - Ensure that the selected nozzle pitch is within the allowable guidelines of the plate model as shown in the charts
on the following pages.
•2A, 2B and 2C manifolds have a minimum X-dimension of 60.0mm (2.362") for Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 thermal gates (HT
and TS) and 70.0mm (2.756") for Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 valve gates (VG and VX).
•4L manifolds have a minimum X-dimension of 60.0mm (2.362") and a minimum Y-dimension of X + 45mm (1.772") for
Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 thermal gates (HT and TS). 4L mani folds have a minimum X-dimension of 70.0mm (2.756") and
a minimum Y-dimension of X + 57mm (2.244") for Ultra 500 & Ultra 750 valve gates (VG and VX).
•4H and 4N manifolds have a minimum X-dimension of 50mm (1.969") and a minimum Y-dimension of 50mm (1.969")
for all nozzle series and gating options.
•8H manifold minimum X & Y dimensions are as follows:
• HT 500 [Min ’X’ > 73mm (2.87") / Min ’Y1’ > 61.3mm (2.41") / Min ’Y2’>Y1+62mm (2.44")]
Minimum ’X’ and ’Y’ for 4L-Type:
For both thermal gates (HT & TS) X = 60mm (2.362") Y = X + 45 mm (1.772")
For both valve gates (VG & VX) X = 70mm (2.756") Y = X + 57mm (2.244")
