LOW-WATT FLEXIBLE TUBULAR HEATERS
Replacing a DME Manifold Flexible Tubular Heater may also

require the replacement of retaining rings that hold the heater
in place. After installing the manifold heater, insert a retaining
ring into each of the existing undercut grooves in the manifold.
Use a brass hammer to lightly tap a small piece of brass and
each retaining ring to secure the manifold heater.

DME Valve Gate Controller Products and Solutions
Hydraulic and pneumatic valve gate

controls provide reliable, accurate
and efficient control

Robust
power supply
Valve gate sequencers from DME are available in pneumatic

or hydraulic control for timer-based actuation of up to sixteen
valve gates. Offering faster response than typical valve gate
controllers and greatly reduced electrical use over the life of the
unit, DME Valve Gate Controls provide reliable, accurate, highly
efficient time control for years of use.

User-friendly
auto-reset function

Individual
test buttons
for each zone provide
precise time control
to .01 second
Controllers feature highly accurate (resolution to 1/100 of a

second) DIN-style solid state timers, individually fused against
faults, to provide long life and high reliability. Each timer zone
is capable of dual time functions, allowing each zone to be
programmed with a delay-time and an on-time. Test functions
for each zone assist in determining the correct hookup of
each valve.

Compact
design takes
up minimal space

Air-powered
operation
runs on 120 VAC and
an air line

Accumulator
stores
precharged oil, allowing
for instantaneous
operation
The controllers operate from a wide supply of operating voltages

(88 to 264 volts AC), making them easy to relocate between
different plants or even different countries. The standard product
is offered with a 125 volt AC plug (North American Standard).
This plug can be removed and replaced with any number of
240 VAC plugs.

VCTB-03-024D-16
One- to sixteen-zone, 24 Volt DC Valve Gate Controller

The VCTB-03-024D-16 Valve Gate Controller is designed
to provide time based control of up to sixteen 24 volt DC
solenoid valves used to actuate valve gate pneumatic
or hydraulic cylinders. This controller has the same form
factor as the Standard 12 zone DME SmartSeries Hot
Runner Controller Mainframe size. The Controller uses a
PLC with programmable timers to provide long life and high
reliability. Each timer zone is capable of dual time functions
so that each zone can be programmed with a delay off
time and an on time. The timers in turn drive larger solid
state relays that are individually fused against faults. The
Controller is designed to operate from a wide supply of
operating voltages (88 to 264 Volts AC) so that this one
device can be used with almost any available power source.
This also makes it easier to relocate the controller between
different plants or even different countries. The standard
product offering comes with a 125 volt AC plug (North
American Standard). This plug may be removed and replaced
with any number of 240 VAC plugs.
Two DB-025 connectors are provided to remotely connect
Standard DME VCAP Pneumatic Air Valve Assembly product
lines which are sold separately and include their own cables.
U.S. 800-626-6653
The First VCAP OUT 1 DB-25 connector can directly control

standard DME VCAP-0400 (4 zone), VCAP-0600 (6 zone),
VCAP-0800 (8 zone), VCAP-1000 (10 zone) or the VCAP-1200
(12 zone). If 16 zones are required, then two VCAP-0800
(8 zone) Air Valve assembles are used with first VCAP-0800
attached to the VCAP OUT 1 DB-25 connector for timer
zones 1-8, and the second VCAP-0800 (8 zone) attached to
the VCAP OUT 2 DB-25 connector for zones 9-16. Note
that zones 9-12 are duplicated/run in parallel on both DB25
connectors for this purpose. These assemblies minimize
required wiring and air connections, thereby making the
molding environment neater. These connectors are designed
to work only with the low amp current DME VCAP air
assembly solenoids which are only 1.2 Watts each.
For other systems that have independent valve connections,
two 16-pin connectors with screw terminals labeled MAIN
OUT 1 and MAIN OUT 2 are provided for customers
individual valve connections for zones 1-8 and 9-16.
Manual Screen Mode Test buttons are available for each
zone to assist in determining the correct hookup of each of
the valves. See OPERATION, Manual Mode.

The DME Hot One is accompanied by a nozzle offering

that allows versatility in system selection to best suit the
material and molded part configuration. DME offers three
different styles of nozzles: The EHA series, using square
coil heaters; The CIA High Performance series, using
cast-in heaters; and the Gate-Mate. Each nozzle series
has its own characteristics and advantages.
EHA/CIA Nozzles
Gate-Mate Nozzles
For example, the EHA series of nozzles can be used

for many applications using commodity resins with low
crystallinity. The CIA series, with cast-in heaters developed
exclusively for DME, can be used for all applications,
especially engineering grade resins with a high degree of
crystallinity. The Gate-Mate series is commonly applied to
applications using commodity grade resins and close centerto-center dimensions.

Moldflow Services Optimize Part and Mold Design
Comprehensive Analysis and Modeling

With todays shrinking time-to-market window, development speed is
essential. As part of its commitment to the molding industry, DME is now
offering Moldflow analysis to help optimize part and mold design
especially for hot runner molds. DME is the first mold technologies
supplier to earn Moldflows silver certification in this advanced technology.
A Competitive Advantage
Predictive analysis, utilizing Moldflow software, yields tremendous
benefits, including:
Optimize part design
Reduce time-to-market
Save cost and time on mold tryouts
Lower development and production costs
Provide a framework to establish reputable processes
Improve product quality
Decrease cycle times
Hot Runner Services
What is Moldflow?
Grill stack
mold
DME uses Moldflow Plastics Insight (MPI) software which is an

integrated suite of analysis tools that utilize CAD files and apply advanced
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques to quickly and easily enable a
virtual what if design environment before initiating mold construction.
MPI provides in-depth part/mold design and process parameter optimization.
This is in contrast to Moldflow Plastics Advisor (MPA) which is primarily
useful for parts with low to medium complexity, conceptual designs,
and quick part design validation. DME is a certified, licensed provider of
Moldflow analysis services.
Mold Fill Analysis

The Mold Fill module uses predictive technology to simulate the filling
process. Key analyses include:
Optimize the number, size, and location of gates
Balance the runner system design
Reduce material stress levels

Using the results from the Fill and Cool analyses,

the Warp Analysis module enables prediction
of plastic part shrinkage and warpage. Warp
Analysis diagnoses the cause(s) of warping and
recommends the appropriate solution, such as gate
location changes, design parameter changes, and
reduction of wall thickness variations.
Optimize processing conditions including melt temperature,

injection rate, and cavity pressure
Mold Pack Analysis

Building on the results of a Mold Fill analysis, the Mold Pack
module optimizes the packing phase to ensure a uniform packing
condition. As an indication of part warpage, volumetric shrinkage
is evaluated and the pack pressure profile is optimized. The result
is minimized warpage with an improved surface appearance.
Mold Cool Analysis

The Cool Analysis module assesses an existing cooling layout
to determine potential molding problems. Steel types, cooling
channel sizes, bubblers, baffles, coolant temperatures, and flow
rates are all evaluated. Using this analysis, the Mold Cool module
recommends practical tooling design changes to ensure uniform
cooling. Mold Cool takes into account:
Number, location, depth, and pitch of cooling channels
Steel types
Cooling circuit layouts
Coolant temperatures and flow rates
MPI 3D
MPI 3D addresses a class of problems previously
unsolvable using traditional Finite Element Analysis
techniques. In thick-walled parts, molten plastic can
flow in all directions. Using a proven methodology
based on a solid tetrahedral, finite element volume
mesh, MPI 3D enables true, three-dimensional
simulations on thick-walled parts.

Gate-Mate 4 Nozzles
The Gate-Mate 4 Nozzle is ideal for fast-cycling multi-cavity molds and thin-walled parts.
Its compact design permits closer centerline distances for use in smaller molds, or increased
cavitation in larger molds. Thermocouple placement provides better heater control, and the
overall nozzle design gives improved thermal insulation. Heater, thermocouple and tips are all
replaceable. The nozzles are available in three versions: A complete assembly with standard
tip, a sub-assembly with tip ordered separately and a sub-assembly with front load heater
which allows heater replacement to be performed without having to remove the mold from
the machine. Front load heaters include integral thermocouples.

Designing and Machining Guidelines

THE HOT ONE MANIFOLD SYSTEM DESIGNING AND MACHINING GUIDELINES
FOR EXTERNALLY HEATED SYSTEMS
NOZZLE AND GATE SELECTION GUIDELINE
DESIGNING AND MACHINING STEPS
For selection of nozzle and gate diameter it is important to take into consideration
the materials flow characteristics, shear rate of resin, molding conditions, fill
time requirements, gate vestige, wall thickness and configuration of the part to
be molded. Situations requiring high injection velocities must be considered when
selecting small gate diameters. High injection rates may require larger gates due
to shear heat build up (e.g. high weight or thin wall applications). See material
manufacturers literature for further information regarding material to be molded.

NOTE: The expansion factor must be taken into consideration
prior to machining for and installing nozzles. This factor

(BE) must then be added to the nominal A dimension.
Formula for determining this expansion factor is as follows:
BE = A dimension x .00000633 x nozzle setpoint temp 68
(assuming the mold is at 68F during operation). If mold
temperature is different, substitute 68F with actual mold
temperature.
EXAMPLE: Given a 2.500 inch A dimension with a nozzle
setpoint temp. of 500:

BE = 2.500 .00000633 (50068) = .0068 thus
A + BE will be 2.5068.
Please note that the above information is given as an example.
Variations may occur based on mold configurations and cooling
factor. In some instances, it may be necessary to obtain an
empirical factor.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND GUIDELINES

1. T he nozzle head must be held in such a manner to keep it
from rotating upon installation of the Front Load Square
Coil Heater. This may be done by making a key for the
head to match the flat on the nozzles head or by circle
interpolation.
2. Nozzle plate must be designed so that the heads of the
socket head cap screws are exposed when the mold is
split on the parting line.
3. After the nozzle has been located and positioned in the
nozzle plate with manifold secured in place and A plate
removed, the heater can be installed on the nozzle body
as follows:
a. Place heater within Tube A so that the bending exit
lead lies within the slot of the tube.

U.S. 800-626-6653
b. Insert Tube B with angle out within Tube A so that the

angle of the tube mates with the last coil of the heater.
c. Rotate Tube A counterclockwise while at the same
time rotating Tube B clockwise. This action will
spring open the coils enough to slide the heater
onto the shaft of the nozzle body.

NOTE: The expansion factor must be taken into consideration prior to machining for, and installing, nozzle.
This expansion factor (BE) must then be added to the nominal A dimension.

BE = A dimension x .00000633 x nozzle setpoint temp 68(assuming the mold is at 68F during
operation). If mold temperature is different, substitute 68F with actual mold temperature.
EXAMPLE: Given a 3 inch A dimension, with a nozzle setpoint temp. of 500:
BE = 3 x .0000063 x (500-68) = .008 thus A + BE = 3.008.

The above information is only given as an example. Variations may occur based on mold configurations
and cooling factor. In some instances, it may be necessary to obtain an empirical factor.

NOTE: The expansion factor must be taken into consideration prior to

must then be subtracted from the nominal A and B dimension,
if B is required.
BE = A or B dimension .0000063 manifold setpoint temp. 68F

different, substitute 68F with actual mold temperature.
EXAMPLE: G
iven a 4 inch A dimension, with a manifold setpoint temp.
of 500F:
BE = [4 .0000063 (50068)] = .011 thus A BE = 3.989
The above information is only given as an example. Variations may occur
based on mold configurations and cooling factor. In some instances, it may
be necessary to obtain an empirical factor.

High Watt Density Cartridge Heaters
Hot One Components
High Watt Density Cartridge Heaters
Fit Tolerances
The cavity or hole, into which a cartridge heater is
inserted, should be reamed* to the nominal diameter of
the heater. DME cartridge heater diameters are actually
.002 to .007 undersize. High Watt Density Cartridge
Heaters are .004 undersize, held to a tolerance of .002.
This sizing is maintained for easy installation and for best
heat transfer. However, if close hole tolerances are not
maintained, operating life of the heater may be drastically
reduced. Also make sure that the heated area of the
cartridge does not extend beyond the hole.
DME High Watt Density Cartridge Heaters employ swaged

construction for maximum heat transfer and high watt density
for more demanding applications. Recommended for use when
high temperatures are required (up to 1500F) or where heaters
will be subjected to vibration. Furnished with 10" long flexible
lead wires. Special heaters are available on special order.
Thermocouple cartridge heaters are also available.

As a general rule it is not recommended to space heaters
in a mold, die or platen any closer to each other than the
diameter of the heater.

Contamination
Contamination consists of any foreign matter such as
plastics, oil, grease, dirt or water entering through the
terminal end or the end opposite the terminal. Care must
be taken to protect the heater or these contaminants will
shorten the effective heater life.

Proper Care and Maintenance

1. Heaters should be stored in a dry area, especially
during periods of excess humidity.

2. Protect leads from abuse, abrasion, fatigue, etc.

3. Maintain temperature controllers and accessories
in good working condition to avoid an overheating
condition.

DME High Watt Density Thermocouple Cartridge

Heaters employ swaged construction for maximum
heat transfer and high watt density for more
demanding applications. Recommended for use
when high temperatures are required (up to 1500F)
or where heaters will be subjected to vibration.
These diagrams show typical installations of a

Thermocouples
DME Bayonet Thermocouples are made of 20 gauge stranded

glass-insulated wires. The grounded hot junction is in the end
of a .188 O.D. stainless steel protecting tube for fast response
and long life. Tube features a round tip and is fitted with a
stainless steel spring loaded bayonet fitting. Lead wires are
protected by rugged .188 I.D. flexible armor (lead wire
calibration is ANSI Type J Iron/Constantan). Armor cable

Standardized,
pre-engineered
components for
hot runner molding
Internally Heated Hot Runner Systems
118
The Cool One Features and Benefits
Hot runner molds have been in use for decades. Today,

energy costs and material availability have become greater
processing considerations and new emphasis is being placed
on reducing these costs. As a result, a hot runner molding
system that can cut energy requirements, shorten cycles,
save material and eliminate secondary operations, such
as degating parts, spot facing and regrinding runners, is
extremely well-suited for the industry.
What is The Cool One?

The Cool One is a group of standardized, pre-engineered
components that can be incorporated into a hot runner
mold to suit a specific application. The design of the Cool
One places particular emphasis on temperature control
throughout the system. Standard Cool One components fall
into two categories: Distributor System and Probes.
Distributor System
Plastics are injected into the system through the DME
Heated Nozzle Locator. The system consists of bores,
gun-drilled into the distributor block. A smaller diameter
distributor tube is inserted in each bore and centered with
end caps.
U.S. 800-626-6653
Material flowing in the bore, around the central tube, is

kept molten by a thermocouple-cartridge heater in the tube.
Heating the material from the inside out is highly efficient,
since it allows heater loads to be considerably less than
systems which heat from the outside in. In addition, the
outer layer of the melt stream solidifies to form an insulating
layer of plastics that further reduces energy requirements
and permits mold surface temperatures to be maintained at
100 F. In many cases the flow design has a single primary
distributor tube with intersecting probes to direct the flow
of material to the gates. A primary and secondary distributor
tube layout using a common H pattern is also a typical
method of providing a balanced flow of material to probes
intersecting the secondary tubes. (The cutaway view above
is an example of the H pattern layout.) A wide variety of
intersecting layouts are possible to carry molten material to
virtually any number or pattern of cavities.
For even smaller molds, or increased cavitation in larger
molds, DME has standardized a group of Micro Cool One
components applicable for solid block designs. In this design,
smaller distributor tubes and cartridge heaters are used in
conjunction with smaller integral heater gating probes.
The Micro Cool One utilizes round distributor channels and a
single level of distribution. System designs incorporate the
Solid Block concept (as shown in the illustration above).

Probes
Benefits
Molten material flows through the distributor system to

intersect with the probes centered in the probe bores. The
heated probes keep the material molten and flowing to
the gates.
For The Processor

Some of the most readily apparent benefits of The Cool
One are to the plastics processor. Basically, the system
offers more quality parts while reducing labor and
material costs.
With the DME system, cartridge heaters in both the tubes

and probes contain integral thermocouples. This allows the
heaters to be closely monitored and continuously adjusted
by closed-loop temperature controls.
Conserve Energy The Cool One uses up to 75%

less energy than conventional hot manifold systems and
no regrind operations are necessary
Conserve Materials No sprues or runners and

fewer rejects make 50%80% material savings
possible
Improve Part Quality Improved temperature

control provides better gate cosmetics, more
homogeneous melt
Increase Uptime Contamination can be cleared

or cartridge heaters replaced quickly with the mold in
the press
For The Designer

Standardized components have established themselves as
the best, fastest and least expensive way to design tools.
This is especially true with DME pre-engineered hot runner
molding components.
Maximum Design Flexibility Improved cosmetics
offer wide choice of gate locations; Distributor System
configurations are virtually unlimited
Production Proven Predictable performance based

on decades of successful applications.
For The Moldmaker

n Shorter Lead Times Pre-engineered components
allow the moldmaker to go from part print to part
approval (and final payment) sooner
Availability Components are available from stock
for immediate delivery which means faster mold
construction and more uptime
U.S. 800-626-6653
Canada 800-387-6600
dme@dme.net
www.dme.net
To save the moldmaker valuable machining time,

standardized gate inserts are also available for all probes.
Made from prehardened AISI S-7 steel, these inserts are
pre-machined with the appropriate internal configurations
for optimum probe performance.
Increase Production Faster startups, faster cycles

and delay-free automatic operation
DME Auto-Fixed probes are offered in three styles

finless with integral heaters, and finned or finless with
replaceable heaters. The integral heater probes are
smaller in diameter than the others, making them ideal for
smaller molds or closer cavity patterns. The finned style
employs a precision-engineered tip configuration that
automatically fixes the relationship between the probe
tip and gate (i.e., centers the probe and limits tip protrusion
into the gate). The finless style provides a wider selection
of probe lengths (up to 10") for larger molds and deeper
cavity configurations. An optional register ring is available
for these probes to provide added stability at the probe tip
if desired. Probes of different lengths can be used in the
same mold to suit the gating requirements and contours of
the molded part.
As proven in actual production, this DME Hot Runner

System can:
In general, the gate is the most critical point in any hot

runner mold. A perfect temperature balance has to be
maintained at the gate if the mold is to run effectively. The
molder has to find the compromise temperature which
will fill the cavity, provide good part quality, keep the
plastics molten and still shut-off without drooling when
the mold opens for part ejection. The gate size and cycle
time are also major variables that have to be considered in
achieving this proper balance.

Another option is to remove the flange and adjust the spacer
height to the desired dimension, then secure the heated
nozzle locator through the spacer with two 1/420 S.H.C.S.
into the mold plate. Use caution to insure that the tapped
holes are .500 minimum from the distributor channel.
Spacer thickness should never be less than .250. However,
if a condition results where the spacer would be less than
.250, counterbore a 2.000 diameter into the plate to a V
depth that will accept the .250 spacer. (See Figure 3)
ALL APPLICATIONS
In order to maintain plate strength, the depth of the lead
wire channel, dimension W, must be no deeper than
required to contain the heater leads. The distance from the
bottom of the core head to the bottom of the leads is .800.
Channel depth can be determined accordingly, based on the
distance between the core head and the top of the mold.

Canada 800-387-6600

Split Plate Design
U.S. 800-626-6653
Provide for a 1-inch deep counterbored clearance in the

lower distributor plate for these cap screw heads. This
clearance will create a delay and allow the material to
separate from the probe drop area, subsequently pulling
the cull from the probes.
Another method of cull removal would be to drill and tap
thru holes in the end caps. After the distributor plates have
been separated, install threaded shafts and tighten to
apply pressure on the cull. If the cull resists removal due
to shrinkage around the probes, it may be necessary to
apply heat to the probes by reducing the control setpoint
temperature and turning the probe heaters on.
If the mold is going to be benched for cull removal, the bolts
securing the split plate may be installed from the back of
the mold (see optional cap screw placement, Figure #3). The
probes should be removed first, then the bolts securing the
distributor plates and the bolts in the end caps. After the
distributor plates are split, the cull may be removed by any of
the following methods: 1) threaded holes in the end caps to
allow for threaded shafts to be used as jack screws or 2) pry
slots in the end caps to be able to remove with pry bars.
SPLIT PLATE CONCEPT

While DME normally recommends the solid plate approach
to hot runner molding, the split plate concept will appeal to
the molder who frequently has to change colors or materials
in a specific molding application. The split plate concept
allows for the distributor plate to be separated and the
cull (material surrounding the distributor tubes and
probes) removed.
To facilitate removal of the cull from the mold while it is in
the machine, it is necessary to provide the following: 1) bolt
pattern that will allow for the removal of the A plate from
the parting line when the mold is open; 2) leader pins and
bushings that maintain plate alignment when carrying the A
plate and the lower distributor plate to the movable side;
3) a bolt pattern that will allow unfastening of the distributor
plates, behind the A plate, form the parting line opening;
4) the attachment of mold straps and a bolt arrangement that
will enable the operator to move the mold plates in the proper
sequences with normal molding machine manual controls;
5) a method of removing the cull from the channel, in most
cases from the probe side.
One method of removing the cull from the probe side is
to install cap screws into the end caps, as shown above.

*The 2.00" distributor channel with 1.625 dia. tube is recommended.

NOTES:
1. To secure distributor plates, the use of 1/2-13 hardened cap screws is recommended.
Line both sides of the distributor channel on 1.5" centers, 1" from channel. Torque to
manufacturers recommendations (Approx. 110 foot pounds)
2. Moldmaker to supply guide pins and bushings, molds straps and appropriate holes to
allow plates to be split and moved when removing the cull in the molding machine
3. When separating the distributor system, the cull will have the tendency to stay on the
probe side. A method of extraction is suggested to facilitate removal

CLAMP STYLE SPACER APPLICATION (Figure 1)

The spacer is supplied with a flange and a 1.250 height. The
flange may be used in conjunction with a DME HNR0001 or
modified 6524 locating ring to form a clamp-style spacer.
To modify the locating ring, enlarge its 2.00 diameter
counterbore to 2.281 (0.219 deep) and its 1.75 I.D. to 2.00.
The core is secured to the spacer with two 1/4-20 S.H.C.S.
BOLT THRU STYLE SPACER APPLICATION (Figure 2)
Another option is to remove the flange and adjust the spacer
height to the desired dimension, then secure the Heated
Nozzle Locator through the spacer with two 1/4-20 S.H.C.S.
U.S. 800-626-6653
into the mold plate. Use caution to insure that the tapped
holes are 0.500 minimum from the distributor channel.
Spacer thickness should never be less than 0.250. However,
if a condition results where the spacer would be less than
0.250, counterbore a 2.00 diameter into the plate to a V
depth that will accept the 0.250 spacer (see Figure 3).
ALL APPLICATIONS
In order to maintain plate strength, the depth of the lead
wire channel, dimension W, must be no deeper than
required to contain the heater leads. The distance from the
bottom of the core head to the bottom of the heater leads
is 0.800. Channel depth can be determined accordingly,
based on the distance between the core head and the top
of the mold.
If a condition occurs where the Heated Nozzle Locator
would extend above the standard locating ring, a special
locating ring with extended flange for protecting the Heated
Nozzle Locator should be constructed.

1.06 DIA.
.06 FROM DIST. TUBE
ALL APPLICATIONS
The locators core tip should be positioned 0.060 from the
top of the distributor tube, establishing the A dimension.
In most cases, the dimension from the bottom of the core
head to the locating ring counterbore will equal the adjusted
height of the spacer. (The B dimension, for reference,
is the heater length of 1.450 or 1.950, depending on core
length being used.)

Gate-Mate Applications and Benefits

DME Gate-Mate Hot Sprue Bushings
The DME Gate-Mate Hot Sprue Bushing is designed for direct part gating in
single-cavity molds, eliminating the conventional cold sprue. The unique design
of the bushing provides minimal gate vestige, without the objectionable witness
lines so commonly found on direct gated parts.
The DME Gate-Mate Hot Sprue Bushing utilizes an advanced design square coil
heater and independent thermocouple, strategically located for precise temperature
control. The bushing is available in three sizes to suit a variety of applications.
See the DME Control Systems Catalog for Smart Series Single Zone Temperature Controllers.
(For Multi-Cavity, see DME Gate-Mate Nozzles).

Mini Gate-Mate
The Mini Gate-Mate Bushings are ideal for fast cycling single cavity
molds. The compact design permits shorter overall stack-up of the
A side mold plates. The Mini Gate-Mate Bushings are provided with
either a square coil heater or a cast-in heater. Thermocouple placement
provides better heater control, and the overall body design improves
thermal insulation. Square coil heater, thermocouple and tip are
all replaceable.

NOTE:
The expansion factor must be taken into
consideration prior to machining for and installation
of the bushing. This factor (BE) must then be added
to the A dimension. The formula for determining this
expansion factor is as follows:
BE = A dimension x 0.00000633 x nozzle set
point - 68F (assuming the mold is at 68F during
operation). If mold temperature is different,
substitute 68F with actual mold temperature.

REFERENCE
GMB0111
EXAMPLE:
Given a setpoint of 500F: BE = 1.375 .0000063
(500 68) = .004 thus 1.375 + .004 = 1.379.
Please note that the above information is given as
an example. Variations may occur based on mold
configuration and cooling factor. In some instances,
it may be necessary to obtain an empirical factor.

Jumbo Gate-Mate
The Jumbo Gate-Mate Bushing is designed for direct part gating in single
cavity molds, eliminating the conventional cold sprue. The unique design of
the bushing provides minimal gate vestige, without the objectionable witness
lines so commonly found on direct gated parts.
The bushing transfers molten plastics from the machine nozzle to the mold
cavity via a direct channel in the body. The bushing, in conjunction with the
recommended tip and gate configuration, controls gate vestige height.
The Jumbo Gate-Mate Bushing utilizes an advanced design square coil
heater and an independent thermocouple, strategically located for precise
temperature control.

S-Series Straight-Shot
Larger Shots Extended Heater Life

DME developed Straight-Shot Hot Sprue Bushings to
eliminate sprues, permit larger shots and faster fills,
and greatly extend heater life.
The bushings feature an unrestricted straightshot channel to feed the part or runner. Material
in the channel is heated by a special helical tubular
heater which surrounds the melt stream. This heater
distributes heat uniformly throughout the bushing
and is virtually impervious to moisture, gases and
plastics contamination.

The helical tubular heater (120 or 240 volt) is

thermocouple equipped so temperature can be
closely controlled using a DME single-zone Closed
Loop Temperature Controller.
The Standard S-Series Straight-Shot is designed
for direct part gating or for feeding half-round or
trapezoidal runners. It is supplied with a .16 diameter
gate and no gate land. Available in seven standard
shoulder lengths with either a 12" or 34" spherical
radius and 120 or 240 volt heater. The S-Series
Straight-Shot can be retrofitted to almost any mold
that uses a conventional sprue bushing.

ER-Series Straight-Shot
The DME standard ER-Series Straight-Shot Hot Sprue
Bushings (Long and Short Styles), like the standard E-Series,
are supplied with a .25 inch extra stock allowance on the
front face to permit machining of runner profiles or part
contours into that face. These bushings feature a reverse
taper design that originates from under the heat source,
providing easier start-ups.
The ER-Series design can also be used when a reverse taper
will benefit a particular application. These bushings are supplied
with a .12 diameter orifice and a .50 long reverse taper. The
orifice may be enlarged and the taper increased to suit.

.750" SERIES USER GUIDE

The DME Integrally Heated Sprue Bushing is an exclusive medium volume bushing with the ability to
process a wide range of resins. Its streamlined flow channel terminates in a reverse taper gate, providing
minimal pressure loss and allowing for rapid gate freeze. The formation of a small gate stub on the part
or runner results in a machine hold-time reduction, with no increase in sink marks on the part.
The Sprue Bushings superior heat transfer capacity is attributed to its integrally heated design. To optimize
processing conditions for all thermoplastics, a replaceable thermocouple is strategically located near the
flow channel. The Integrally Heated Sprue Bushing has a .187" flow diameter, and is offered in two
head styles and two gate styles to suit a broad range of applications.
Gating Options for Sprue Bushings
SPRUE GATE
Suitable for most applications, the Sprue Gate is provided as standard on the Heated Sprue Bushing.
(Please note that this gate style is not intended for machining.) The press fit areas are held
to .0005".
EXTRA STOCK SPRUE GATE
The Extra Stock Sprue Gate is available for applications requiring machining of the gate area for runner
profiles, part contours, or adjustment of the bushing height. The .750" diameter bushing has .500 of

.750" SERIES
Operating & Servicing Instructions

The Integrally Heated Sprue Bushing bodies are identical in design, but differ in length and head style. All Sprue Bushings
feature an integrated heater; Type J thermocouple; 60 wrapped - 600 volt leads; right angle lead exit; and 6 stainless
steel, square-lock armored cable.
Start-Up/Operating Procedures
If the temperature controller does not utilize soft start technology, set the controller to 200F (93.3C) in automatic mode
or 10% in manual mode. Allow bushing to soak for 15 minutes before increasing to processing temperature. This step will
allow the unit to dissipate potential moisture and prolong heater life.
*WARNING*
There must be a ground
present between the mold hot half and the temperature control system or damage may occur to the bushing, thermocouple
and/or temperature control system.
