All EWIKON hot runner systems are available as hot halves. The fixed half is pre-assembled with the hot runner system and just has to be completed with the cavity plate. Then it can be used with practically no on-site adjustments. A growing percentage of customers use hot halves to speed up their mould projects significantly and to simplify the start-up of the system.

Option for hot halves: Leakage detection
