WHAT'S NEW?  A linear main manifold combined with two lateral arms and a special pivot joint for adjustable nozzle positions and pitch distance. The runner can be used in several molds with different pitch distances by dismantling the system from one mold and assembling it in the other tool.

BENEFITS  Standard nozzles are used, allowing a full range of gating options, such as direct tip gating, gating with screw-on gate bushes or valve gating.
