For Hot Runner For Injection Moulding, Ningbo (P&M) Plastic Metal Products Co., Ltd. has 18 years of mold manufacturing technology and 10 years of export experience. We provide professional one-stop customized mold services and are a professional plastic mold manufacturer. We can use injection molding, blow molding, die-casting, and rotational molding.
Hot Runner For Injection Moulding (referred to as hot runner) is an advanced gating system technology in the injection mold gating system. It uses heating devices (such as heating coils, heating rods) to continuously insulate the plastic melt in the main runner, sub-runner and gate, keeping the melt in a molten state at all times, without cooling and solidifying together with the product like traditional cold runners. Its core advantage is eliminating cold runner waste (traditional cold runner waste accounts for 15%-30% of injection raw materials), realizing "zero-waste injection molding", while improving product molding precision and production efficiency. It is widely used in high-volume, high-precision injection molding scenarios (such as auto parts, electronic connectors, medical devices).
A、Classification of Hot Runner For Injection Moulding
1. Classification by Heating Method
(1)Internal-Heated Hot Runner
Structural Features: Heating elements (such as heating rods, heating tubes) are directly embedded in the runner, in direct contact with the melt, with high heat transfer efficiency (thermal efficiency above 85%); the runner diameter is small (usually 3-8mm), suitable for small-batch, high-precision products;
Advantages: Fast heating speed (only 5-10 minutes to heat from room temperature to 250℃), high temperature control precision (±1℃), and fast response to melt temperature changes;
Disadvantages: Heating elements are easily corroded or worn by the melt (especially for corrosive plastics such as PVC), with high maintenance costs;
Applicable Scenarios: High-precision injection molding of engineering plastics (PA, PC, POM), such as electronic connectors, precision gears.
(2)External-Heated Hot Runner

Application Advantages of Hot Runner for Injection Molding
Compared to traditional cold runners, hot runners have significant technological and economic advantages:
1. Reduce raw material waste and save costs
Traditional cold runner waste accounts for 15% -30%, while hot runner achieves "waste free injection molding", increasing raw material utilization to over 95%; Taking a product with an annual output of 1 million pieces and 20g of waste per piece as an example, using a hot runner can reduce waste by 20 tons (1 million x 20g=200000g=20 tons). Calculated at a raw material cost of 20 yuan/kg, the annual cost savings are 400000 yuan (20 tons x 1000kg/ton x 20 yuan/kg=400000 yuan);
Reduce the process and equipment investment of waste recycling, crushing, and re granulation, and lower labor and energy consumption costs (the energy consumption of the recycling process is about 0.5 kW · h/kg, and the hot runner can completely eliminate this energy consumption).
2. Improve Product Quality and Production Efficiency
Quality improvement: The temperature of the hot runner melt is stable, avoiding problems such as uneven shrinkage and high internal stress caused by temperature fluctuations in the cold runner melt; Improve the dimensional accuracy of the product by 10% -20% (such as reducing the dimensional tolerance from ± 0.1mm to ± 0.08mm), and reduce the deformation rate by more than 30%;
Efficiency improvement: Save time on cold runner cooling and waste cleaning, shorten molding cycle by 20% -40% (such as traditional cold runner cycle of 10 seconds, hot runner cycle can be shortened to 6-8 seconds); After adopting a hot runner, the multi cavity mold can achieve synchronous filling and increase production efficiency by more than 50%.
3. Adapt to Complex and Precision Injection Molding Needs
Hot runner can achieve one-time injection molding of multi cavity and complex structural products (such as multi cavity electronic connector molds, with a number of cavities up to 64 or more), and the consistency of each cavity product is good (weight deviation ≤ 2%);
For thin-walled and micro products (such as medical catheters with a wall thickness of 0.1-0.3mm), the hot runner can provide stable melt pressure and temperature, avoiding the problem of insufficient filling caused by insufficient melt pressure in the cold runner. The qualification rate has increased from 70% to over 95%.
