Reduced shear, optimized injection processing

Shut-off nozzle optimized designed with respect to rheology improves your manufacturing process and minimizes the plastic stress. The designed spacious and ideal melt channel creates less pressure and thus guaranteeing better, more homogeneous form filling
The nozzle system is characterized by efficiency and reliability.

Kurt, sounds like a significant improvement for our industry. My experience has shown all (100%) of the nozzle shut-off valves that I have tested to add about 2,000 psi or more pressure drop to the flow path. Further, they have been a high maintenance item. Pressure drop is easily measured, how much pressure drop does you valve have? Could you provide the data for the pressure drop and could you describe the "spacious and ideal melt channel" in diameter, length, geometry of the flow path?

Herzog is a very well known supplier of shut-off nozzle. It is a swiss brand and, for me, the best one!

So I am asking, provided you have answers for Mr. Bozzelli's questions. We currently use a shut off nozzle and while I am not a big fan it enables us to cut about 1 sec on the overall cycle. If you can provide similar performance with reduced pressure drop, there is interest.
