Gammaflux Inc. of Virginia USA, a leading supplier of Plastics Injection
Mould Hot Runner Temperature Control Systems, has introduced a new line
of products specifically designed for sequential valve gate hot runner
applications.
Moulders of large, complex or difficult to fill parts often use
sequential valve hot runner systems to achieve numerous benefits,
including knit line control, improved straightness, lighter weight parts,
and dimensional improvement. These systems use either pneumatic or
hydraulic valve gates that are selectively opened and closed to precisely
control gating on the part surface, and the material flow front.
"Sequential valve gating is increasingly used by moulders to produce the
best possible parts, shot after shot." said Mike Brostedt, Director of
Market Development at Gammaflux. "We had provided temperature control
systems for SVGC in the past but through extensive input from our partner
processors we have now introduced these new controllers that are
specifically for these applications."
Gammaflux offers systems with both hot runner temperature control and
sequential valve gate control in one enclosure, with one interface and
one menu for both the hot runner and sequence. These integrated systems
can open or close 8, 16 or 32 valve gates. Stand-alone systems are
offered for just sequential valve gate control and all come standard with
a 5 year warranty ( 2 year warranty applies to the touchscreen interface).
Benefits of the Gammaflux SVGC controllers include:-
* Advanced diagnostics for easy trouble shooting
* High speeds (open and close gates every 1 millisecond - 8 output
versions)
* Integrated hot runner temperature control and SVGC in one enclosure
* Control of 8, 16 or 32 pneumatic or hydraulic valve gates
* Easy calibration
* Programmable alarms
Gammaflux Inc. is represented in Oceania by HBM Plastics Technologies.
