Submarine Gate Injection Molding

Our glossary of terms provides definitions for a wide range of injection molding terms.

Submarine gate injection molding.

Have a great influence on product appearance dimensional physical characteristics and production efficiency. 2 the gate size is dependent on product weight material and gate types. Their location quantity shape and size etc. Every type of gate that has its advantages today we will explain each type of molding gate when you use your molding parts according to each gate of advantages and disadvantages you could.

An angled conically shaped tunnel gate also known as a subgate or submarine gate is one of the best and worst types of gating methods. If the injection molding requirements meet the smaller the number of gates are the better it is it would reduce the weld marks. If unavoidable the weld marks should be designed on the unimportant surface and non weak parts of the product. The runner and gate system used in plastic injection molding is responsible for directing molten plastic from the nozzle of the molding machine into the cavity of the tool.

One of the reasons it s the best is because a tunnel gate automatically separates or degates from the part when either the mold opens or when the parts and runner are ejected. A type of edge gate where the opening from the runner into the mold is located below the parting line or mold surface. It serves as the boundary between the part and the scrap the injection molding gate type include director gate sub gate fan gate side gate bananal gate tab gate etc. Tunnel or submarine gate.

1 injection molding gate is a small opening between the runners and the mold cavity. There are many types of gates for plastic injection molding parts such as direct sprue gate side gate fan gate pinpoint gate submarine gate etc. With submarine gates the part is broken from the. Plastic injection molding is a complex highly intricate process.
