Hot Runner Troubleshooting & Repair

Description

Repairing and maintaining a typical hot runner system takes mold maintenance skills to the next level.

While all mold repair work should be performed methodically and carefully, successful hot runner repair requires a higher level of precision, understanding and accuracy that can only be accomplished in a systemized approach that utilizes accurate documentation of the critical elements of manifold work.

Tooling in a typical hot runner system must be handled with great care while cleaning, inspecting and reassembling.

Methodical practices must be used to prevent potential disasters that could be just a wrench slip, pinched wire or forgotten bolt away.

Adding to the challenge is various processing techniques and resins that can have a huge effect on the performance, condition and maintenance practices concerning a hot runner system.
