Hot Runner Heating

Precision Zone Heating for Hot Runner Systems

Hot runner systems require the most precise and reliable heating elements in the plastics processing industry. A fraction of a degree variation across manifold and nozzle zones can result in part defects, colour variation, or production downtime. Sri Ambika hot runner coil heaters and cartridge heaters are manufactured to the tightest tolerances for demanding hot runner OEMs.

Problems Solved

Heating Problems
We Solve

01

Temperature variation between manifold zones causing part weight differences

02

Heater failure causing costly production downtime and scrap

03

Short service life from poor-quality coil heater construction

04

Thermocouple inaccuracy causing gate freeze or gate blush defects

05

Non-standard nozzle geometries requiring custom heater designs

Engineering

Key Engineering
Considerations

Coil heater inner diameter tolerance (±0.05mm) for full contact with nozzle bore

Tight winding pitch for uniform wattage distribution along nozzle length

J or K thermocouple integration — grounded vs ungrounded sheath

Voltage specification: 24V, 48V, or 230V for manifold control zones

High-density cartridge heaters for manifold bore heating with integral TC
