Function
The main function of the sprue bushing is to guide the molten plastic into the mold while ensuring the flow of material during the injection process. Its design takes into account various factors, including the flowability of the material, temperature control, and the structural strength of the mold. Sprue bushings are typically made from high-temperature and wear-resistant materials, such as steel or aluminum alloys, to maintain good performance in high-temperature and high-pressure injection environments. Additionally, a well-designed sprue bushing can effectively reduce defects such as air bubbles and cold material, thereby improving the quality of the finished product.
Guides molten plastic directly into the mold cavity, ensuring a consistent and reliable material flow during the injection cycle.
Manufactured from high-temperature and wear-resistant steel or aluminum alloys to withstand extreme pressure environments.
Optimized design significantly minimizes common molding defects, such as air bubbles and cold slug formations.
