Hot Runner Insulation Systems

A precision-engineered retrofit for existing hot runner systems that reduces cycle times by targeting the root cause of thermal inefficiency.

Thermal analysis showing heat variance in a standard hot runner

The Standard Process

Standard hot runners force an inefficient process due to constant heat loss:

  • Excessive Temperature

    You are forced to run 25% hotter than the material requires just to compensate for cold spots.

  • Extended Cooling Phase

    This excess heat must be removed, creating a hidden bottleneck that artificially extends cycle time.

With Our Thermal Control

Our custom-fit insulation panels stop heat loss and create total thermal stability:

  • Optimal Temperature

    Run at the ideal melt temperature for the polymer, not the temperature required to overcome system flaws.

  • Drastically Shorter Cooling

    Less heat input means less heat to remove. Your daily output increases significantly with the same machinery.

A More Stable Process, A Higher Quality Part

Minimize Part Defects

A uniform melt temperature reduces cosmetic issues like sink marks and structural problems like warp, which is critical for flat, high-tolerance components.

Protect Sensitive Materials

Avoid thermal degradation in sensitive polymers. This prevents common issues like delamination in blended materials (TPEs) and yellowing in optical-grade polycarbonates.
