DME SmartONE
Melt Solution

COMPLETE MODULAR MELT

Only DME delivers a truly integrated tooling package combining its hot runner systems with precision mold bases, unique venting and cooling solutions and advanced engineered components. It is only by integrating each of these important elements that you obtain the optimal molding process.

This unique approach is supported with DME’s legendary after-market services. The Total Solution to Mold Design for the Perfect Part.

SmartONE RETHINKING MELT DELIVERY

Precision Temperature
Our heat control technology offers stable heating with minimized loss. Direct heating via replaceable brass sleeve heaters for diffusion into the nozzle body. Thermocouples are ideally positioned for accurate temperature control, all serviceable within the molding machine. The result is an even temperature profile along the entire length of the nozzle guaranteeing high process reliability. The smart system balance allows for the use with a broad range of polymers.

More Processing Control
Accurate melt distribution from the barrel to the gate and throughout the cavity delivers consistent molding results. Our specially designed melt seal directly at the gate, ensures quick color change performance.

Extreme Durability
Our systems are built to perform through the life cycle of the tool 24/7. Our Hardened Nozzle body can handle melt pressures up to 20,000 psi.

User Friendly Design and Use
Ease of installation, reliable performance and practical maintenance, guarantees better results and lower operating costs. Our system is designed to allow for the easy replacement of nozzle heater, thermocouple and tip. Using advanced heat treating technology, our threads are wear-resistant for problem-free, tip replacement.

DME SmartONE, available in both valve gate and fixed gate create parts with excellent surface quality.
