Ultra SideGate
Direct side-gating
made easy

Ultra SideGate for direct gating demanding applications

Benefits:
t • Excellent gate quality for a wide
range of resins
t • In-machine maintenance
possible from split line; easy
integration and easy to operate
t • Allows for single-piece cavity
design

Features:
t • Spring loaded tip for fast tip
removal in the press and leakproof operation
t • Precise thermal control for best
system balance, easy system
start-up without boost
t • Individual cavity shut-off
t • Unique design allows for
single-piece cavity design, optimal
gate and cavity cooling
t • One, two or four tip configuration

Ultra SideGate™ provides easy integration,
operation and maintenance and is ideal
for deep draw parts such as pipettes,
syringe barrels, and hinged closures or
smaller parts where only side-gating is
possible and gate quality is critical. Ultra
SideGate™ nozzles offer molders the
opportunity to horizontally direct-gate
parts that cannot be effectively gated with
a standard nozzle. This direct side-gating
method allows for high productivity without sacrificing gate quality, while eliminating the need for cold runners.

PBT, gate vestige ~ 0.05 mm

Superior Part Quality
Our Ultra SideGate™ hot runner is capable
of producing a gate with virtually no
vestige on the finished part (~0.05 mm
vestige depending on resin). This patented design eliminates the need for split
cavities. Split cavity designs are subject to
misalignment occurring over time resulting in witness lines on finished parts, Ultra
SideGate allows for single-piece cavity
design to eliminate the possibility of misalignment, resulting in more consistent,
high quality parts. The single-piece cavity
design also results in improved cooling.
