The first book to shed light on the critical role the melt delivery system plays in successful
injection molding has received a major update in its 3rd edition. This successful book will
give you an immediate leg up by reducing mold commissioning times increasing productivity
improving customer satisfaction and achieving quality goals such as Six Sigma. How do you
determine the optimum design of your runners and gates what type of runner system (hot or cold
variations) do you use for a specific application how do you identify molding problems
generated by the gate and runner vs. those stemming from other molding issues what should you
consider when selecting a gating location? The Runner and Gate Design Handbook will give you
the means to get to the bottom of these issues as well as provide specific guidelines for
process optimization and troubleshooting. Highlights among the numerous new updates include
coverage and analyses of critical shear induced melt variations that are developed in the
runners of all injection molds expanded content on hot runners and a new subchapter on
injection molding process development.
