Micro nozzles are commonly used in the plastics processing industry for the precise application of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) materials. These micro nozzles can create intricate patterns or designs and help ensure accurate placement of the material, making them ideal for use in small-scale molding operations or for producing complex parts with fine details.
When selecting micro nozzles, there are several factors to consider:
Size: The micro nozzle size should be appropriate for the amount of material needed to be dispensed and the size of the mold or part being produced.
Material compatibility: The material of the micro nozzle should be compatible with the LSR material being used to avoid any issues with clogging, contamination, or chemical reactions.
Precision and accuracy: The micro nozzle should be able to dispense the material with precision and accuracy, without dripping or clogging, to ensure consistent quality and minimize waste.
Durability: The micro nozzle should be made of high-quality materials that can withstand the pressures and temperatures associated with LSR molding processes and provide long-lasting performance.
Ease of cleaning and maintenance: The micro nozzle should be easy to clean and maintain to minimize downtime and ensure reliable operation over time.
