Plasti-Co^® Nozzles for Injection Molding Machines

Several Characteristics of Quality Injection Molding Nozzles

Not all molding machine nozzles are created equal — whether producing low cost parts with sprues or high-quality precision parts, the right combination of screw, barrel and molding nozzle is required.  Quality nozzle applications, whether a standard nozzle tip,  mixing or filter nozzles for injection molding, the correct injection molding nozzle can provide several benefits to your molding process and part requirements.  Several key characteristics for high quality mixing nozzles are:

1. Better mixing consistency. While molded part demands can vary, typical color mixing calls for a smooth, uniform result, that stays consistent throughout the finished part.  A high quality mixing nozzle, engineered and designed for specific resin & colorant requirements being used, can offer better distribution of additives and help create a more consistent mix and produce high quality parts.
2. Even melting. If a mixture doesn’t meet a homogenized melt temperature, it could lead to uneven part weight, flow or knit lines, or uneven cavity distribution. With different elements and various melting temperatures, you can reduce the temperature differentials with the right Plasti-Co^® mixing nozzle.
3. Eliminating the need for back-pressure. Many operators will employ back-pressure to attempt to fix mixing and homogenizing issues. However, back-pressure uses higher shear, which influences pressure buildup and can slow output, recovery and increase cycle time.  Plus, this can lead to premature wear on the components.  Instead of using back-pressure, the Plasti-Co^® engineered solution for mixing nozzle and tip can prevent these problems to reduce back-pressure, lost productivity, wasted resin and add longer life to the components.
4. Using less colorant. With a Plasti-Co^® mixing nozzles, you can reduce color additive by as much as 30%, saving money and resources while maximizing machine up-time.
5. Regrinding. Avoiding uneven grind materials with a quality mixing nozzle is achievable.  Reduce part failure, increased levels of regrind, reducing cost and a faster pay back to your operations when utilizing the Plasti-Co^® mixing nozzle.
