Hot Runner Repair and Maintenance Training
Successful hot runner repair requires a higher level of precision, understanding and accuracy that can only be accomplished in a systemized approach that utilizes accurate documentation of the critical elements of manifold work.
Learn how various hot runner systems function and the critical areas of each, as well as how to troubleshoot, document and map out several manifold systems using an ohmmeter while learning about Ohm’s Law and how it is applied during heater inspection. Also learn how to review manifold histories then completely disassemble, clean, inspect, document and reassemble a multi-cavity valve gate and fixed gate system and learn how to determine what elements of the manifold should be included in setting up a PM program.
