EWIKON Introduces New Drop-In Hot Runner System

At PDM2008, EWIKON presented its new L2X drop-in hot runner system, an easy-to-install hot runner solution with high production safety.

The system comes completely assembled with nozzles, manifold, sprue bushing and complete wiring. Therefore, it can be easily integrated into the mold construction. The nozzles are screwed into the manifold making the system absolutely leak-proof.  

Optionally, the drop-in system is available with valve gate technology. The valve gate version features cooled pneumatic drive units for the valve pin which are flanged to the backside of the manifold. Like all EWIKON valve gate systems it has a permanent valve pin guide placed in the front area of the nozzle. Thus, the valve pin remains guided during the whole operation cycle. This ensures maximum operational safety and reduces valve pin wear.
