11.7 Gate Seal Removal
WARNING
High temperature on the nozzle. Wear safety clothing such as heat resistant
coat and heat resistant gloves.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
CAUTION
The terminal end is a sensitive area and can easily break if not handled to
specifications.
Hot Runner systems must be within 40 °C (70 °F) of mold temperature
before the cavity plate can be removed.
CAUTION
NOTE
If the cavity plate is easily removed you can access the nozzle seals while
still in the system.
It is recommended the nozzle be removed from the system before removing
the gate seal.
Use the socket supplied in the
Mold-Masters
tool kit to loosen the gate seal.
The following procedure applies to all gate seals, including carbide, with
threads larger than an M6.
1. Apply penetrating lubricant to gate seal area.
2. Leave the nozzle in the mold or remove it to a vice and clamp carefully.
3. Using the temperature controller, heat the nozzle body until all residual
plastic is melted from the gate area. If the nozzle is inside the mold, heat
up the whole system and turn on the cooling or remove all O-rings.
4. While the nozzle is still hot, apply a loosening pressure to the gate using
the socket to remove the seal.
5.
Turn off the controller and wait for five minutes.
