Mold-Masters Melt-CUBE Side Gating Hot Runner Solution – New Design
Cuts Service Times by 85%!

New for NPE is a second generation of the Melt-CUBE side gating hot
runner that allows simultaneous direct side gating of up to 8 cavities
per CUBE for high cavitation molds. Based on our successful advanced
side gating technology this version features a simplified design making
it easier to maintain and service. Tips are clamped by a single bolt in
sets of 2 (not entire assembly) which reduces assembly/disassembly times
by up to 85%. Manifolds can be accessed from the parting line and tips
are located to gate.

As with many Mold-Masters products this Melt-CUBE also incorporates
Brazed Heater Technology for precise thermal profile for enhanced
processability and superior reliability that often outlasts the life of
the mold. Only Mold-Masters offers an available industry leading 10-year
warranty. Melt-CUBE is known for its excellent vestige control,
low-pressure drop and precise cavity-to-cavity rheological balance.

Melt-CUBE side gating eliminates wasteful sub-runners and offers higher
pitch density than circular systems for greater production output.
Perfect for deep draw medical parts such as pipette tips, syringe
barrels, needle shields or parts where only side gating is permitted.

Customers will be able to experience the assembly time reduction with a
hands on display of the product right in our booth.
