Introducing The Gatekeeper Nozzle The Foundation of our Standard Systems The Gatekeeper represents a technological breakthrough that enables users to process difficult to mold resins like LCP, PEEK, POM, up to 60% Glass-Filled Materials and a host of highly Temperature Sensitive Materials with confidence and ease. It s All About Controlling the Gate Temperature What makes The Gatekeeper so Special? Patented Bi-Metal Shaft design that guarantees minimal heat loss from the nozzle to the cavity. Result: You run faster cycles and the part has improved rheological properties. Standard Screw into Manifold design for Guaranteed Leak-Proof sealing. SET and DET Series Nozzles are Excellent for Single Cavity Molds, enabling 1 Zone Control. Proprietary Cast-In Brass Nozzle Heater design featuring exclusive Engineered Heat Profile to deliver the proper heat to the gate. Available Hard Metal Alloy Construction materials assure maximum Wear Protection. Modular nozzle build-up 4
Amazing Capabilities How would you like to Valve Gate a part with less than 9.0 mm (0.354 ) pitch centers? Try Our 3SLT Series Nozzles on your next High Cavitation Packaging Application The Installed Shaft Diameter is Only 10 mm (0.393 ). SFT Flat Nozzles are widely used in the Electronics and Medical Industries for Close Pitch, Temperature Sensitive applications. The patented design of our Cast-In Brass nozzle bodies equipped with precise pro filed heating elements ensure a homoge nous material flow to the gate.

Unbeatable Reasons to Demand a GÜNTHER Manifold 1. You won t lose a heater when assembling, disassembling or installing a mold. The heating element connections are securely located in the manifold to guarantee the terminal won t break. 2. Easy to Clean Material Channels. Mechanically clean the channels inhouse via easy to remove plugs. No more expense of outside chemical cleaning service. 3. The Connecting Machine Nozzle Adaptor is heated through conduction from the manifold, eliminating the need for additional heating elements and Control Zones.
The Makings of a Great Manifold System CAD HOC GÜNTHER System-Designer Go to the www.guentherhotrunner.com Internet platform. Register and then start the CADHOC system designer and you can configure your individual hot runner system already. For each hot runner system, 3-D models including negative volume are available for downloading. This service is rounded off by the provision of the relevant price information (as a PDF file). e-mail will contain a link to the product data for the configured hot runner system. We have oriented the system s high functionality to suit the requirements of our customers, above all designers of injection moulding tools and sales personnel, to meet the desire for quikker availability of complete hot runner systems including negative volumes. Once you have configured your individual hot runnder system, you can select various data formats. The CADHOC system designer and the systems running in the background generate the required data. All files are then compressed and made available for downloading. You will be notified by e-mail a few minutes later. This 8
Replaceable Needle Guide Needle Guide Insert LA: An innovative design of the contouring needle guide and an optimized valve pin enables increase/reduction of the gate diameter simply by exchanging the insert without refinishing the cavity. Needle Guide Insert LAZ: Version LAZ has a reduced outer diameter within the gate area. There Are Those Times When Good Looks Do Matter! Start by looking at GÜNTER S Single Valve Gate Nozzles Specifically Engineered for Demanding Process Requirements Exceptional Cosmetic Quality Large Gate Diameters Minimal Shear Stress Faster Cycle Times Lower Temperatures at the Gate Single Valve Gate Nozzles can be operated Pneumatically (8 Bar Max) or Hydraulically (40-60 Bar Max). The Cylinders are mounted externally and the needle is precentered in the melt channel. The new and innovative design of our replaceable needle guide and valve pin allows for a positive valve gate shut without wear to the cavity inserts. Guenther s new Powder Metal Steel Insert (PM Insert) is made from a high hardness powder metallurgical steel and guarantees economical, wear free operation in the tool. The unique design of the PM Insert and Valve Pin provides that during actuation the valve pin is precisely guided into the cylindrical gate of the PM Insert assuring that no wear occurs on the cylindrical shut off of the valve pin or the gate portion of the PM Insert. If over an extended time any wear develops in the gate, the PM insert is easily removed from the nozzle for a fast and very economical change No more need to repair the gates in the tool! Gate Diameters from 0.8 mm (0.031 ) to 5.0 mm (0.196 ) Standard Nozzles Lengths from 30 mm (1.181 ) to 350 mm (13.779 ) Standard Material Tube Diameters from 3.0 mm (0.118 ) to 18 mm (0.708 ) Capable of Processing up to 30% Glass Filled Materials Adjustable Needle Depth without removing the Nozzle from the Tool Plug and Go Units Ready to Run
Valve Gate Technology Four Ingenious Solutions To Fit Any Application Complete Valve Gate Systems From Our Standard Component Platform Today s demanding application requirements make Valve Gate Systems an increasingly attractive solution. GÜNTHER Systems are designed from our Standard manifold and Nozzle Platforms to cut the delivery time of a complete system. We can supply you a Valve Gate System with a pitch distance starting at 8 mm (0.314 ) or as large as you need, and each nozzle is controlled separately for a very finite temperature control enabling the processing of low viscosity plastics and elastomers as well as reinforced engineered resins. The Valve Gate nozzles are available in Single Valve Gate Nozzles or in multiple nozzle and manifold systems featuring the following actuation technologies: Individual Valve Gate Cylinder Lifting Plate Actuation Sliding Cam Plate Actuation The actuation systems can be designed for pneumatic or hydraulic operation. The Hot Half Clamp Plates are designed with access holes enabling the operator to adjust the depth of the Valve Pins in the tool without disassembling the system. Proper selection the Valve Gate system depends on the application conditions as well as tool size and space limitations.
