The DME EcoOne hot runner system offers a wide range of standard nozzle options with a shot range capacity of <5g up to 3,500g in lengths ranging from 50 to 300mm. There are six standard non-valved and five standard valve gated options. Manifolds are available in one to 16 drop configurations with custom pitch options. Currently, EcoOne systems are expected to be shipped and delivered in as little as three to four weeks.
The standardized components are what enables DME to offer rapid delivery and reduce prices to minimize mold makers’ costs for simpler projects.
The DME EcoOne hot runner system is field serviceable to minimize downtime and operating costs. Nozzles use replaceable brass heater sleeves while manifolds incorporate push-in heater elements. Because these are globally standard components, inventory is on-hand and available through DME’s global sales network. System components are covered for up to two years under the product’s global warranty.
