With over 35 years of experience in hydraulic cylinders and servo automation, CyTec Systems UK, continues to deliver cutting-edge solutions for industries such as injection moulding, automotive, and aerospace. Among these innovations are i-mold’s tunnel gate inserts, which offer mould makers and moulders a proven way to reduce material waste, lower costs, and improve part quality. Trusted globally, these inserts help improve moulding processes and enhance manufacturing efficiency.
Why Choose Tunnel Gate Inserts?
1. Innovative Design– i-mold tunnel gate inserts offer direct gating at the parting line of the mould, eliminating traditional runners and gates, which leads to reduced material waste and shorter cycle times, increasing production efficiency.
2. Cost Efficiency– By removing the need for conventional gating systems, i-mold inserts significantly reduce material usage and production costs, delivering long-term savings over the mould’s lifecycle.
3. Enhanced Product Quality– The precision of tunnel gating allows for better control over molten plastic flow, resulting in parts with improved surface finishes, fewer weld lines, and minimal gate vestige. This leads to higher quality products with less scrap and reduced rework.
4. Global Recognition– i-mold’s tunnel gate inserts are trusted worldwide, recognised for enhancing production efficiency and competitiveness across various sectors.
Key Advantages of Tunnel Gate Inserts:
Durable Construction
Made from wear-resistant tool steel M2 (1.3343), these inserts are engineered for high durability and long service life, even in demanding applications.
Invisible Gate Marks
The unique underside gating design ensures a clean finish on moulded parts, leaving no visible gate marks, which is crucial for aesthetic and functional applications.
Compact Design
With an optimised, single-part design, these inserts save space and simplify integration into existing systems without major adjustments.
Versatile Options
Available in various sizes and configurations, the inserts meet diverse production needs, offering flexibility for different moulding processes.
Precise Cutting Edge
The integrated cutting edge ensures clean sprue separation, reducing the need for secondary operations and improving overall efficiency.
High Compatibility
Designed to handle plastics with up to 60% filler content, including challenging materials like glass fibre, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Precision Manufacturing
Utilising Metal Injection Moulding (MIM), the inserts feature smooth feed channels and accurate gate sizes, ensuring optimal material flow and reduced defects.
Easy Integration
CAD files are available for download, making it easier to integrate the inserts into your existing design workflows and systems.
