Short Shot Process

Product Descriptions

Injection phase

• 70% ± 20% of the volume of the cavity is dosed and injected

• According to process, the gas injection occurs via machine nozzle, injector modules in the sprue or in the molded piece

Gas injection phase

• This begins shortly before the termination of the injection phase, in order to avoid switchover markings
• Gas fills the cavity and drives the melt front forward

• Targeted hollow spaces form in the molded piece

Gas hold-pressure phase

• The gas pressure is retained after the completefilling of the cavity, until the moldedpiece is stable

• Relief of the gas pressure after solidifying of the melt
