Heitec Hot Runner Systems, Germany, available in North America through Technoject Machinery Corp., has further developed the Star-Line nozzle into a 2-piece design with a body and crown. This innovation offers unique advantages allowing the edge gate technology to be used with numerous materials, including difficult engineering resins. Maintenance performed on molds is done in minutes without disassembling the tips or the crown.

Everybody can do easy: HEITEC faces complexity!  

This new system introduced to the general public by Heitec Heisskanaltechnik GmbH at the K 2007 in Düsseldorf is visually similar to a spacecraft.

A new mechanical valve gate actuation system makes it possible to have an accurate and reproducible opening and closing of the injection gate.
