Sprue Bushings
Post Time:2014-11-13
Sprue bushings connect the nozzle of the injection molding machine to the runner system of the mold. Ideally, the sprue should be as short as possible to minimize material usage and cycle time. To ensure clean separation of the sprue and the bushing, the bushing should have a smooth, tapered internal finish that has been polished in the direction of draw (draw polished.) Also, the use of a positive sprue puller is recommended. The Three Common Sprue Pullers illustration shows three common sprue puller designs.
