Increase Productivity and Reduce Molding Costs With Hot Runner-Infused Quick-Change Systems

Now the production efficiencies of hot runner molding can be further enhanced when combined with a Master Unit Die (MUD)
Quick-Change Frame. An unlimited number of different parts can be produced with this industry-leading combination of hot
runners within a quick-change system because only the MUD Companion Insert Mold is swapped out. The MUD Frame/Hot
Runner System remains in the mold.

Combining DME Hot Runners with MUD Quick-Change Systems provides many advantages to virtually any injection molding
operation, including:
MUD Quick-Change Options for Mold Frames & Inserts | Hot Runner-Infused Quick-Change Systems
■ Enables molders to use the same DME Hot Runner System with many different cavity and core configurations with MUD
Companion Insert Molds
■ Quickens production changeovers, often in as little as five minutes
■ Provides cost justification for the Hot Runner System and/or the MUD Quick-Change System for multiple tooling projects
■ Simplifies design with the use of the MUD Quick-Change Straps

Contact your DME representative or call us today to find out more about how the combination of a DME Hot Runner System
and the MUD Quick-Change System will not only substantially increase your production efficiency but significantly reduce
your molding costs. Many companies incorporate the DME hot runner/quick-change combo into their Lean initiatives.
