A manufacturer may set up injection molding facilities for in-house use or for job work. In either case, only the best high speed automatic injection molding machine will do for the end product to have superior finish, consistency in quality and cost effectiveness. The mold is equally important and actually decides the quality and cost of the final molded product. Precision, superior finish and cost effectiveness can only be achieved with the use of hot runner molds, which, sometimes, cost half as much as the injection molding machine.
When you decide on a hot runner system you must carefully consider the company that designs and supplies the mold and all its associated components such as the hot runner controller, manifold, valves, gates, manifolds and heating elements. From the overall mold design, number of cavities to the nozzles and associated manifolds, gates, valves, heaters and temperature controllers, all must be perfectly designed to sync with each other and be precisely designed and engineered. This calls for exceptional technological capabilities in terms of mold engineering knowledge, CAD software, manufacturing equipment and highly skilled manpower. Germans have traditionally excelled in plastic injection molding and hot runner injection molding technology but their excellence comes at a fantastically high price. You can get the same, top level components, design and guaranteed performance when you select a Chinese maker of hot runner injection molding systems and components, but at a far lower cost. You may wonder about the technological capabilities of China based hot runner mold company, but when you understand that they use German heating elements and technologies, it is the assurance of top quality at best affordable prices. You can understand the implications of lower hot runner mold cost in the end product price and to your profitability.
