Equatemp® Single Zone Hot Sprue Bushings from Melt Design Inc. (MDi), a leading designer and manufacturer of hot runner systems and components, began a new era of internally heated sprue bushings for injection molding.
Available in two styles, the solid body and the solid body with replaceable tips, this bushing’s design characteristics make the difference in performance and value. Because they are internally heated, the bushings’ high purity ceramic insulator, replaceable thermocouple and predetermined wattage distribution together ensure the highest heat transfer rate, more accurate temperature readings and longer heater life.
With the Equatemp Single Zone bushing (Dual Zone style also available), molders gain better melt flow control for superior quality parts shot after shot. In addition, the convenience of not having to do additional machining when retrofitting cold runner systems saves time and reduces costs.
Melt Design’s solid body (MB style) bushing is available with extra stock when machining is required on the tip; and the solid body with replaceable tips (RB style) is offered with a choice of tip options: Topless, Full Body, and Sprue Type to suit processing requirements.
