PRODUCT SERIES
VG Valve Gate
Pin open and close; flush gate face with no stub
Technology
Valve gate (mechanical pin travel)
Gating
Direct gating (flush gate face)
Minimum nozzle outer diameter
Ø13 mm
Minimum bore
Ø14 mm
Minimum center distance
15 mm
Structure and gating
The nozzle features a valve pin and sleeve mechanism where pin travel controls opening and closing. Sequencing enables each cavity to open and close independently.
Vestige and break
The pin shears the melt, leaving minimal gate marks and a consistent finish. Melt accumulates at the pin-sleeve interface, requiring periodic disassembly. Use PVG for PVC; VG requires scheduled pin removal and cleaning.
Models
All five sizes are in regular use; AM18 and AM22 are commonly used for cosmetic and larger parts. Verify the configuration against the mold layout.
