GÜNTHER introduces new hot runner nozzles at Fakuma 2024
INNOVATIONS & SOLUTIONS
GÜNTHER Hotrunner Technology will showcase two new nozzles at Fakuma 2024 : the PRISMA and an extension of the OktaFlow range . The PRISMA nozzle addresses limitations in valve gate hot runner systems when gating parts with small pitch centres . It features special internal melt guidance channels and three valve gates on a small PCD , suitable for technical polymers in high-volume moulds . The new OktaFlow series extension offers a compact , reliable , and cost-effective solution with two tips and a smaller sub-manifold , reducing energy consumption . This design allows for individual tip replacement and is not affected by heat expansion due to its unfixed sub-manifold . GÜNTHER ’ s diverse nozzle range caters to various applications , providing users with flexibility and efficiency in hot runner systems . These innovations aim to enhance performance and address common challenges in injection moulding processes .
