For years now the standard method designing a melt delivery (runner) system has been the naturally balanced runner system. A naturally balanced runner system is a runner configuration where there is an even flow length from the tip of the sprue to the end of each cavity with symmetrical cross-sectional shapes. While the naturally balanced runner system looks good from a visual standpoint, it is what lies underneath that leads to molding issues. This tech tip will explain the pitfalls of the naturally balanced runner system and how to avoid them.

“Of all the training seminars that I have attended over the past 10 years, this one ranks at the top! The explanations of clamp tonnage, cooling strategies, viscosity, and key mold design components are just a few of the takeaways that will be very useful in my job function.”
“I was amazed at the amount of expertise and knowledge presented in just two days. Many myths were debunked, numerous scientific explanations for the way we should be thinking about plastic flow were given, and various real-world examples were used to show how plastic flows.”
