The herzog® shut-off nozzle type HP nozzle "High Performance" is pneumatically or hydraulically controlled and is characterised by a precise valve gate mechanism. This mechanism enables direct separation of the melt flow at the mould interface. This nozzle is particularly suitable for sealing under high pressure and remains securely sealed even with increased back pressure.
The needle mechanism is designed to ensure that the nozzle opens automatically in the event of overpressure.
It is primarily used for processing thermoplastics with low-viscosity materials such as PA, PPS, PE, POM or PP.
It can be flexibly adapted to various technologies, including the MuCell process, other physical and chemical foaming processes and pre-compression of the melt. To summarise, the HP nozzle is ideal for applications that require precise control and adaptation to different processes.
