It is widely used in the molding of plastic parts. The manifold in an injection mold, also known as a hot runner manifold, is a central component of the hot runner system in multi-cavity molds. It distributes the molten plastic from the main runner nozzles to each injection point nozzle via the runner system. The manifold ensures uniform filling of the mold cavity, balanced plastic flow, and balanced system heat.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing head includes a sealing part and a limiting part two. The sealing part is a truncated cone structure, and the limiting part two is integrally provided at the large-diameter end of the sealing part.

[0011] Preferably, the opening end of the mounting hole is threaded with a fastening ring, and the outer end face of the fastening ring has symmetrical positioning holes. Using a two-jaw wrench that matches the positioning holes, the fastening ring can be rotated and tightened. The inner end of the fastening ring presses against the limiting part one on the connector or the limiting part two on the sealing head, so that the connector or sealing head is tightly set in the mounting hole.

[0012] Preferably, a heating sleeve is fitted over the outside of the flow channel tube, and a heating wire is installed inside the heating sleeve to heat the flow channel tube and prevent the molten material from cooling inside the flow channel tube.
