DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD WATCH TO SEE HOW IT WORKS

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.
