It offers precise needle guidance with pre-centering, extends gate life considerably and simplifies maintenance.

Vario Shot Hasco’s precision hot-runner and mono nozzles are ideal for both easy-to-process and engineering plastics. 

What’s new? The Xgate, a new interchangeable needle-valve pre-chamber, available in two versions that are appropriate for either amorphous or semi-crystalline plastics. The gate area and contact surfaces can be varied for application-specific temperature control, and the outer sealing diameter is significantly smaller. 

Benefits Precision and greater resilience, with far better guiding inside the pre-chamber and more options for different types of plastics. The Xgate offers precise needle guidance with pre-centering. It extends gate life considerably, and simplifies the maintenance of the injection molding tool, significantly reducing maintenance costs. In addition, it is resistant to abrasive and chemically aggressive materials.
