Engineered for Superior Performance
The Mini-Shut™ nozzle delivers unmatched reliability and efficiency in injection molding operations with patented technology.
Instant Shutoff
Shuts off instantaneously as soon as melt flow stops, preventing drooling and stringing that can damage parts and contaminate work areas. No delay or manual intervention required.
Universal Compatibility
Economical design fits on virtually all nozzle bodies and works with all machine sizes and polymers. Compatible with USA Standard, EU Standard, Big Bore, and Large Machine configurations.
Simultaneous Operation
Allows for clamp and screw to be operated simultaneously, improving cycle times and overall productivity. Eliminates the need for melt decompression in most applications.
Pressure Optimization
Unique design allows for free flow of material with almost no loss of pressure, maintaining optimal injection conditions while preventing melt from escaping the nozzle end.
Easy Installation
Simple, cost-effective solution that's reliable, easy to use, and easy to install and remove. No complex setup or special tools required for implementation.
Stock Availability
On-the-shelf stock item ensures fast delivery and minimal downtime. No waiting for custom manufacturing or long lead times to get your production running.
