Stellar Hot Runner Systems Benefits

High Process Temperature Capability
with Precision Heat Profiling

Today’s engineered materials challenge hot runner systems with high processing temperatures – often with very narrow
operating windows. Stellar hot runner nozzles utilize reliable profiled mini-tubular heaters to ensure optimal heat distribution. In
addition, Stellar nozzles are engineered with low conductivity heads and high conductivity tips for consistent
thermal performance.

Easy Serviceability – Right in the Machine

Productivity is especially critical when micromolding thousands of parts per hour. Every Stellar Hot Runner System can be
rapidly serviced for maximum uptime. Nozzle tips, retainers, mini-tubular heaters and thermocouples are all front-loaded and
easily replaced with the mold in the press.

Increase Productivity and Reduce Molding Costs With Stellar-Infused Quick-Change Systems Stellar Micromolding Hot Runner Systems | Stellar Hot Runner Systems Benefits

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 combina-
tion 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:

• 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.
