types of hot runner systems

Nowadays, plastic injection molding is mostly performed in one of two ways: hot runner systems or cold runner systems. If you’ve worked with plastic injection molding before, you’re likely familiar with hot runner systems. However, you may not be familiar with how they operate or differ from cold runner injection molding systems. As a process that increases the cycle speed and decreases waste in plastic injection molding, it’s a very attractive means of creating high-quality plastic parts. To truly appreciate its diversity and efficiency, let’s discuss how hot runner systems operate in plastic injection molding.
