StellarONE Rethinking Melt Delivery

/

Precision Temperature

Our heater technology offers stable heating with minimal heat loss. Direct heating via replaceable brass sleeve heaters for diffusion into the nozzle body. Thermocouples are ideally positioned for accurate temperature control, all serviceable within the molding machine. The result is an even temperature profile along the entire length of the nozzle, guaranteeing high process reliability and repeatability. The StellarONE system accommodates a broad range of polymers.

More Processing Control

Accurate melt distribution from the barrel to the gate and throughout the cavity delivers consistent molding results.

StellarONE tip designs minimize melt residency in the gate well to ensure quick color change performance.

Extreme Durability

Our systems are built to perform through the life cycle of the tool 24/7, by incorporating hardened nozzle bodies and wear-resistant tip needles and manifolds when the application requires it.
