AIRTECT

Focus on prevention

Detect your nozzle and hot runner leaks early

AIRTECT plastic leak detection reduces the problem of plastic leak damage at the injection moulding machine nozzle and inside hot runner systems. The solutions are used worldwide, especially in automotive, packaging and medical device manufacturing. CyTec Systems UK Ltd is your local AIRTECT partner.

AIRTECT leak detection at the injection moulding nozzle and in the hot runner

The problem

One leak fills the mould with plastic

A leak at the nozzle or inside a hot runner system covers plates, wiring and guide pillars with molten plastic. Cleaning, dismantling and lost production follow. AIRTECT raises the alarm while the leak is still small.

Hot runner mould damaged by a plastic leak
  • Early warningSensors react as soon as plastic escapes at the nozzle or in a hot runner zone.
  • Relay interlockThe control module shows the alarm and can stop the machine through its relay interlock.
  • Zone by zoneMulti-zone manifolds name the zone that leaks, for example "Leak in Zone #02".
  • Proven worldwideSupplied through a network of distributors and used by manufacturers across Europe, America and Asia.

LA500 and LM2050 alarm displays

The alarm says what happened and where

The display cycles through the active alarms: leak at the nozzle, leak in zone #1, #2 or #3. Operators see the fault in plain text instead of searching for it.
