HMM Solutions Inc is pleased to report that Plastic Technology is running an article on Machine Nozzles, by Chuck Azzopardi – “Know Your Options In Injection Machine Nozzles”

This article discusses the advances in technology that have lead to significant improvements in molding using Machine Nozzles.

Purgeable Nozzle Filters now use edge filter technology offering pressure drops significantly lower than possible with traditional screen packs.  Furthermore, a “purgeable” feature allows for purging on the barrel between shots in just a few minutes, with no disassembly required.

Triple-Action Mixing Nozzles offer a gentle, yet through, mixing technology with relatively little pressure drop.

Automatic Shut-Off Nozzles take advantage of high-temperature spring technology to offer a simple, reliable method of automatically shutting off plastic flow.

Machine Nozzles, Molding 2014 – by Chuck Azzopardi

Better Processing Through Highly-Engineered Machine Nozzles,  highlights various type of Machine Nozzles commonly used in Injection Molding today, including – Nozzle Filters, Mixing Nozzles, and Shut-Off Nozzles.

For NPE, HASCO America announced that HASCO will be distributing high-performance Machine Nozzles from HMM Solutions Inc throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

These three high performance Machine Nozzles were developed to address three critical needs of thermoplastic molders – low-pressure filtering; low-pressure, gentle, yet through mixing; high-performance, automated shut-off.

1) ES-2 Purgeable Nozzle Filter – keep metal chips, unmelted granulates and other harmful contaminates from entering into your molds, where they can plug and damage nozzle tips and gates. The ES-2 Purgeable Nozzle Filter is designed as a gap filter to provide minimal pressure drop when first installed and even after beginning to capture contaminate.   Perhaps, even more impressive, the ES-2 Purgeable Filter Nozzle is engineered so that it can easily be purged clean – while still on the injection molding barrel.

2) MF-200 Double-Action Mixing Nozzle Filter – is engineered to provide a gentle yet through mixing of the thermoplastic melt by rotating the melt onto itself – twice – in opposing rotational directions.  The MF-200 Double-Action Mixing Nozzle is also designed as a gap filter, to keep metal chips, unmelted granulates and other harmful contaminates from entering into your molds, where they can plug and damage nozzle tips and gates.

3) MN Automatic Shut-Off Nozzle – engineered with a high-temperature, high-performance spring, the MN Automatic Shut-Off Nozzle provides quick, secure, automatic shut-off of the thermoplastic melt as the injection molding barrel disengages from the mold.  An added design feature, flushes melt away from the spring, for long-lasting, trouble-free operation.

January 22, 2012; Molding 2012 in Miami, Florida – HMM Solutions Inc introduces a complete line of Machine Nozzles – designed, engineered, and manufactured by Müller Mekaniska AB of Sweden.

These Machine Nozzles were developed to address the concerns of thermoplastic molders in Northern Europe.  These Machine Nozzles have been designed, engineered, manufactured to provide optimal performance, while minimizing maintenance and service.  Proven over many years at multiple molders in Northern Europe, these Machine Nozzles only became available as standard products for molders in the America this year.

Müller Mekansika AB, Sweden introduces HMM Solutions Inc to provide sales and support for the Americas.

Müller Mekansika designs, engineers, and manufactures high quality, high performance components for plastic injection molds and plastic injection molding machines.  Müller Mekansika offers over thirty patented engineered mold components including plate control devices and hydraulic locking cylinders.  Müller Mekansika also offers hot runner nozzles and melt filters for molds and machine nozzles.

HMM Solutions Inc – with experience in thermoplastics, process and product development, marketing, and business management – will focus on supporting distributors, and partnering with end customers to develop new products and solutions that address the challenging needs of mold builders and molders in today’s competitive market.
