For the processing of thermoplastics the predried granulate is melted in the plasticizing unit of an injection molding machine and then conveyed by the screw to the molding via a spreader system. This spreader system is also called a gating system. The primary requirement for the gating system is extremely careful transport of the melt to the molding. On the basis of * the geometry of the molding, * processing-related reasons and * economic aspects the gating system can be divided into the following areas: * hot runner, * cold runner, * sprue and * gate. Strengths * Optimal component quality * no sequential faults * gentle processing of the plastic melt taking into account process and component requirements Gating system of a center console Structure of a gating system A number of demands are placed on a gating system both by the processor and by the raw material supplier. To meet the constant cost pressure, processors attach importance to smooth and optimally automated production...
