This new edition is the first book to shed light on the critical role the melt delivery system plays in sccessful injection molding. This book will give you an immediate leg up by reducing mold commisioning times, increasing productivity,improving customer satisfaction,and achieving quality goals such as Six Sigma. How do you determine the optimum design of your runners and gates;what type of runner system (hot or cold variations) do you use for a specific application; how do you identify molding problems generated by the gate and rummer vs. those stemming from other molding issues; what should you considerwhen slecting a gating location? The "Runner and Gate Design Handbook" will give you the means to get to the bottom of these issues as well as provide specific guidelines for process optimization and troubleshooting.
The recently published Runner and Gating Design Handbook: Tools for Successful Injection Molding by John P. Beaumont is an outstanding contribution to the plastics industry and provides a valuable resource for proper design and troubleshooting techniques for both hot and cold runner systems, and methods to successfully solve engineering and processing issues. This first-of its-kind processing handbook is intended to provide the reader a better understanding of the rheological properties of polymer melt and melt delivery system consisting of nozzle, sprue, runner, and gate. Also explained in a clear and concise manner, the shear induced melt variations, key differences between hot and cold runner molds, gating locations and molding problems related to gates and runners.
