GC-heat - Model GC-slide -Hot Runner Systems Heating Element
GC-heat offers a specialized heating solution for hot runner systems with its GC-slide heating element. The design is distinguished by its compactness and efficiency in providing uniform heat distribution. The heating element integrates within a thin-walled clamping jacket and utilizes slotted ferrules featuring an inner cone, ensuring optimal centering and contact with hot runner nozzles. The element's coiling scheme is crafted to align with the specific thermal needs of the nozzle, facilitating quick assembly without the need for additional tools. This advanced engineering ensures consistent heat transfer despite low radial contact pressure, optimizing performance for demanding industrial applications.
Our smart solution for effective heating is the GC-slide, a special compact heating element for hot runner systems. Unlike conventional clamping mechanisms designed to ensure that coil heaters sit firmly on hot runner nozzles, the GC-slide does not quickly reach its limits
Your objectives:
- A ready-to-install unit for a continuously perfect fit on the nozzle
- A long lifespan
- Easy installation without additional tools
- Thin-walled design of the complete heating element
The heating element is integrated into the clamping element by being inserted into a thin-walled jacket and supported by slotted ferrules. The ferrules have an inner cone so that the complete component (which is slightly smaller than the nozzle) centres itself and can be easily pushed onto the nozzle. The coiled and pressed heating element ensures optimum heat contact with the nozzle, even if the external radial contact pressure is low. The coiling scheme is precisely designed to suit the specific heat requirements of the hot runner nozzle.
The assembly is easy and does not require an additional tool.
- GC-slide is available with the following heating elements: 1.0 x 1.6 / 1.3 x 2.3.
- The free slot offers you the possibility of inserting an external thermocouple.
- Compact component
- Assembly without additional tool
- Quick installation
- Durable fixing on the nozzle
- Thin-walled design
