Résumé : |
The objective of the hot runner design is to ensure that all cavities are supplied with the same melt quality, filling and compression pressures and filling speeds without damaging the melt along the way. The distributor block plays a key role in this process, as it is responsible not only for melt transfer but also for distributing the melt to the individual cavities. Additive manufacturing enables significant improvements in this area – in several dimensions.

- Fig. 3 : Meshing and results of the numerical study of the conventional manifold (double-Y system). In regions of melt division and deflection, zones of low velocity and low wall shear stress are found
- Fig. 4 : Simulation results of three-in-row distribution and comparison of wall shear stresses of drilled and additively manufactured manifold block
- Fig. 5 : Color exchange trials make clear that purging processes are much more effective on the additively manufactured manifold. The injection molding parameters are summarized below |
