    Basic Principles of Hot Runner Control Boxes


    The hot runner control box, as the name suggests, is a controller used to balance the internal temperature of the hot runner system. As an indispensable key part of the hot runner system, it is interdependent with the hot runner system but relatively independent. The accuracy and stability of the hot runner control box severely affect the entire hot runner system. The hot runner control box is a device that continuously maintains the required temperature value. It mainly detects the temperature of the hot runner through an intelligent computer chip (MCU) inside the core and then processes the data inside the intelligent computer to output an appropriate proportion of current value, thereby achieving the purpose of temperature control.


    Components of Hot Runner Control Boxes


    The hot runner control box is a device that continuously maintains the required temperature of the hot runner system, consisting of a temperature control card, air switch, box body, fan, terminal block, and cables. The hot runner control box, through the built-in temperature control card, detects the temperature of the hot runner system, and by adjusting the output power, it keeps the target point temperature stable. The hot runner control box uses microprocessor control, with a temperature control accuracy of up to 0.5℃; dual-row LED digital display, with various fault state display alarms, which can timely detect and solve problems. The output interface adopts international standard industrial sockets, widely used in hot runner systems worldwide; the thermocouples of K-type and J-type can be interchanged.


    Applications of Hot Runner Control Boxes


    Electronics Industry


    In the production process of electronic products, hot runner control box ensures the production quality of precision injection molded parts such as connectors, mobile phone cases, and internal component housings. By precisely controlling the runner temperature, it reduces the degradation of plastic materials, avoids product deformation and internal stress, and improves the stability and durability of electronic products.


    Automotive Industry


    Automotive manufacturing requires extremely high precision and reliability of components. Hot runner control boxes maintain stable molten plastic temperatures when manufacturing automotive lights, instrument panels, bumpers, interior parts, etc., ensuring precise injection molded part dimensions, high surface finish, improving production efficiency, reducing defect rates, and lowering production costs.


    Medical Industry


    The manufacture of medical supplies has extremely strict standards for hygiene and safety. When manufacturing single-use syringes, infusion sets, medicine bottle caps, and other medical injection molded parts, hot runner control boxes precisely control the temperature to prevent the release of harmful substances from plastic materials at high temperatures, ensuring the purity and biocompatibility of medical products and safeguarding patient health.


    Packaging Industry


    The diversity and high-quality demands of packaging materials promote the application of hot runner control boxes. When manufacturing plastic bottle caps, food packaging containers, pharmaceutical packaging, etc., temperature controllers by temperature controller company ensure that plastic materials are melted and injection molded at the optimum temperature, enhancing the sealing and durability of the packaging, and extending the shelf life of products.


    Construction Industry


    In the construction industry, hot runner control boxes are also used to manufacture plastic pipes, door and window fittings, etc. By precisely controlling the temperature, they improve the strength and durability of injection molded parts, meeting the dual standards of material performance and environmental protection requirements in the construction industry.
