Cascade Filling

Multiple Nozzles for One Injection Molded Part

This variant, also called cascade injection molding,

is the classic version of multiple connections. Large

and extremely long parts, such as automobile bumpers,

are molded with multiple nozzles. Even parts

with different levels, such as garden chairs, are

molded with different lengths of hot runner nozzles.

This process is preferably used when no clamping

force reserve is present on the part of the injection

molding machine (see Section 6.9 Cascade Injection).

Multiple Nozzles for Multiple Injection Molded

Parts

When using multiple nozzles for multiple molded

parts, it is important that the flow paths from the

hot runner to the distributor are approximately the

same length in all nozzles to prevent a nonuniform

filling.
