Ultra SideGate
Direct side-gating made easy

Ultra SideGate for direct gating demanding applications

Benefits
• Exceptional gate quality with
almost zero vestige
• Maximum design flexibility to fit a
range of molding and application
needs
• Maximum number of cavitations
while still maintaining a small footprint
• Quick and easy installation and
maintenance
• No additional steps or requirements for start up, shut down, or
restarts
• Allows for single-piece
cavity design

Features
• One, two or four tip configuration
• Tip-to-tip spacing as small
as 55 mm
• Small nozzle housing area
• Performs at the same high level
with a wide variety of resins
• Easy access to individual tips without the need to disassemble the
entire drop
• Same ease-of-use as standard Ultra
nozzles

Husky's Ultra SideGate™ nozzle offers molders the opportunity to horizontally direct
gate parts that cannot be effectively gated
with a regular nozzle. This direct sidegating method allows for high productivity
without sacrificing gate quality, while also
eliminating the need for cold runners.
Ultra SideGate is an ideal solution for deep
draw parts such as pipettes, syringe barrels and other smaller parts, particularly
medical applications where quality and
gate vestige are critical. By direct gating
parts with Ultra SideGate, molders can
achieve resin savings, faster cycle times and
performance across a wider temperature
range. Ultra SideGate also allows for high
cavity molds while maintaining a small
mold base.

Exceptional Quality
Gate quality and vestige are critical factors
in medical applications. Ultra SideGate
offers exceptional gate quality with no
smear and almost zero vestige (~0.05mm).
Because split cavity designs are subject to
misalignment occurring over time resulting in witness lines on finished parts, Ultra
SideGate allows for single-piece cavity
design to eliminate the possibility of misalignment, resulting in more consistent,
high quality parts. The single-piece cavity
design also results in improved cooling.
