As industries worldwide seek to optimize production and minimize maintenance costs, Oerlikon HRSflow introduces the new EYEgate HRS, an advanced end ring designed for the MULTIflow HRS® multi-cavity line. Engineered to deliver optimal gate quality and extended lifespan, this innovative solution enhances performance across a wide range of applications.
With a diameter ranging from Ø3.0 to Ø3.5 mm, the new EYEgate HRS ensures a minimal footprint, enabling precise injection point positioning even in complex geometries and hard-to-reach gate locations. A specially designed pin guide system guarantees permanent pin-gate alignment, significantly extending the end ring’s lifespan. Suitable for applications up to 20 g, EYEgate HRS is available for both Sp and Tp nozzle series.
Mold makers can now benefit from a more efficient manufacturing process, as the gate is already integrated into the end ring. This unique geometry simplifies gate area machining, reducing the time required for moldmaking.
Another key advantage of EYEgate HRS is its ease of maintenance. When the gate becomes worn, the end ring can be replaced without re-machining the cavity insert, significantly reducing maintenance and production downtime costs. This translates to enhanced productivity and operational efficiency.
Designed for industries such as beauty and personal care, beverages, home products, and medical applications, the EYEgate HRS is compatible with a wide range of materials, including: PC, PMMA, PP, PE, ABS, MABS, ASA, SMMA, SAN, thermoplastic elastomers, and Sustainable resins.
The streamlined inner profile of the tip enhances color change performance by enabling continuous material flow without stagnation points. This ensures more efficient production processes, particularly in applications where frequent color changes are required.
With its minimal footprint, improved durability, and maintenance-friendly features, the EYEgate HRS defines a new standard for high-performance injection molding solutions, reinforcing Oerlikon HRSflow’s commitment to innovation and efficiency.
