produce acceptable molded parts.
PET PMMA
For use where gate vestige is allowed. Provides low resistance to flow with excellent flow rates.
Extended style provides additional stock for machining profiles or part contours.
SPRUE GATE TIP
STANDARD / EXTENDED
Ideal for low vestige commodity and engineering grade resin applications. The Ring Gate features
a sealed tip for efficient shut-off at the part surface. Available with standard or wear resistant
needles. Extended style provides additional stock for machining profiles or part contours.
RING GATE TIP
STANDARD / EXTENDED
Suitable for high viscosity resins, engineering plastics and applications requiring optimum gate
cosmetics with minimal gate vestige. Available with standard or wear-resistant needles.
