To provide injection molders with an improved control solution in multi-cavity moulding, Synventive has introduced a new small nozzle series, the 04C and 06C. The nozzles will replace the older generation CA nozzle, which has featured in the company's product line up for over 10 years. The biggest benefit offered by the 04C and 06C compared to the CA nozzle is the incorporation of replaceable heaters for easy and quick maintenance.

This makes the 04C and 06C highly suitable for multi-cavity applications.

The properties of the 04C and 06C nozzle are equal to the old CA model, which means that it can be used for the processing of all commonly used thermoplastics, including those with highly abrasive reinforcements.

Also, new tip inserts are available for the direct gating of polypropylene (PP) in combination with fast cycle times.

However, multi-cavity applications require more than just user-friendly nozzles.

Reliability and a high level of control are of equal importance.

For those reasons, Synventive has introduced a new Multizone temperature controller.

The controller completes the range that starts with the Hi-Q controller, for up to 24 zones.

The new Multizone controller is designed for up to 192 zones and provides moulders with simple to operate control, even with high zone numbers.

Because floor space is always at a premium in an injection moulding workshop, the Multizone temperature controller is designed to be compact without compromising its performance.

The controller features a variety of configurations, using a wide selection of control card options, including three-zone 15 Amp, two-Zone 20 Amp or three-zone 30 Amp cards.

Depending on the type of cabinet selected, the controllers are supplied with an eight-inch or 12-inch fully-featured colour touch screen for maximum efficiency.

It displays graphics that provide full details of system performance.

Furthermore, diagnostics check the mould for heater, thermocouple and wiring faults and can predict any imminent heater failure.

A standard network connection cable enables web-browser, remote monitoring from anywhere in the world.

One of first applications utilising the new 04C nozzle and the Multizone temperature controller was a 64 port hot half for the production of coffee pads.

The 1gm parts, moulded in PP, have a total cycle time of only eight seconds.

The nozzles gate directly on to the part leaving a clean mark and a 75 zone Multizone temperature controller gave optimal control over the mould and nozzles.
