What factors influence the selection?
Deciding on a standardised or customised hot runner system depends on a number of factors.Generally, the two main factors are time and technology.
Time factor
Our standardised hot runner mould is ready for delivery as fast as possible.
Steps to a finished FH hot runner mould:
- Create mould concept / 3D design
- Custom creation with the help of the configurator
- Delivery of the ready-to-use hot runner including manifold plate as well as mould base within 10 working days
A customised hot runner system, however, needs significantly more time.
