A critical component in #mold design is choosing the correct injection #moldinggate. The function of the gate is a simple concept, but choosing the wrong type of gating can cause several problems during processing.
The gate controls the flow of the material from the runner system to the actual part geometry, impacting the overall quality, appearance, and performance of the molded product. Gates come in various designs, including edge gates, sub gates, and direct sprue gates, which we will discuss further below.
🔺 Edge Gate: The go-to choice for simplicity and versatility. Ideal for a wide range of part geometries with low cost and easy design.
🔺 Submarine/Sub Gate: Perfect for high-production runs with automatic separation and reduced labor costs.
🔺 Tunnel Gate: A reliable option for thicker parts, offering automatic gate separation and reduced labor expenses.
🔺 Fan Gate: Ensures even distribution of molten plastic for large, flat parts, reducing defects and improving quality.
🔺Sprue Gate: A simple, easy to design low-cost solution for single-cavity molds.
🔺 Tab Gate: Facilitates easy removal of gate vestige, suitable for various part geometries.
🔺 Ring Gate: Provides even distribution around a core, minimizing defects—ideal for caps and closures.
🔺 Diaphragm Gate: Delivers uniform core force and high molding quality, perfect for cylindrical parts with large inner holes.
