Quick-Change Options Hot Runner-Infused Quick-Change Systems
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 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.
