D-M-E Company has upgraded its popular Stellar 4000 micromolding hot runner product line.

The Stellar 5000 series now offers customers enhancements to the standard format for commodity material applications, and a high performance format for engineering and filled material applications.

The Standard 5000 series features a solid titanium point gate retainer for improved heat isolation and a shielded mini-coil heater that quickens heat transfer for commodity grade materials. For harder-to- process applications and materials, the High- Performance 5000 Series includes an embedded brass heater for optimized heat transfer with engineering grade materials and a thru-hole tip sub-assembly that offers superior wear resistance.

All Stellar 5000 round and rectangular multi-threaded nozzle assemblies feature high-performance gate detail geometry for application flexibility. Compression nozzles are also available for customized pitch designs.
