In its quest to eliminate costly injection molding problems, Plastix LLC is announcing several new products, which attendees can explore at its NPE 2024 booth.
Offering comprehensive hot runner mold protection, the Airtect Ultimate incorporates both “Point” and “Loop” plastic leak detection zones in its design, ensuring safeguarding of your molds.
When durability and reliability are crucial, Plastixs HiTemp and Xtreme HiTemp manifold assemblies can handle temperatures and pressures at elevated levels, 400°F (250 psi) to 450°F (680 psi). These manifolds are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, feature a compact and configurable design, and include leak-free JIC connections and safety locking handles.
The X-Flow is another novel technology with multi-flow circuit validation, enabling quick and easy validation and troubleshooting of mold flow rate and temperature per circuit, up to 8 or 16 circuits simultaneously.
To ensure faster and safer mold changes, Plastix introduces the LinkedXValve system, which offers a single lever to operate both mold cooling supply and return lines simultaneously, enhancing efficiency and reducing the footprint of standard manifolds.
The X-Pure water supply system provides a compact and cost-effective solution for supplying clean, distilled water to high-temperature water units. Well suited for applications operating between 300-450°F, X-Pure effectively prevents contaminants from damaging molds and machinery.
Another innovation, Barb-Tech push-lock assembly tools eliminate the hassle and potential injury associated with using traditional methods of installing push-lock fittings by providing a quick, safe and effortless method for push-lock hose assembly.
