Hot runner simulation with temperature distribution

Hot runner simulation: assess temperature distribution earlier

Does the melt stay within the target temperature range in the hot runner? Are the heating wires controlled optimally via the sensors? If these questions cannot be answered reliably, customer complaints and expensive rework are a real risk. With IANUS, you examine the underlying physics earlier. The technical analysis is carried out in StrömungsRaum® and supports you in validating the temperature distribution for your specific question before the hot runner is manufactured.

Assess temperature and material with simulations as early as the development phase

Temperature distribution

Does the temperature remain sufficiently uniform in the hot runner system? Temperature differences can influence material behaviour and the quality of the finished product. The simulation makes the temperature behaviour and possible temperature gradients visible. This allows you to classify conspicuous regions earlier and examine them more specifically.

Geometry and sensor positions

Which geometry or sensor position should you examine next? The geometry of the hot runner system and the position of the temperature sensors influence how you can evaluate and control the temperature behaviour. A simulation-based analysis helps you to narrow down the relevant regions and suggests the suitable sensor position directly. This allows you to evaluate possible adjustments more specifically.

Variants and correction loops

How can you evaluate a variant before you build or modify the hot runner? You can compare different geometries and adjustments as early as the development phase. This gives you a comprehensible basis for the next decision. Early evaluation can help to reduce later corrections and complaints – and, wherever test runs take place, it reduces the dependence on repeated trials.

When the cause of a quality deviation remains unclear

Füllsimulation Visual

Consider temperature and material together

You define which technical question you want to clarify. IANUS examines temperature behaviour, temperature homogeneity and heating element control on the basis of specific sensor positions. This allows you to classify possible critical regions earlier instead of testing individual settings one after the other.

Ergebnisse Visual

Substantiate the next change

You receive detailed simulation results and a clear evaluation of your hot runner system. Automatic analysis and suggestions for sensor positions support you in prioritising the relevant regions. With the detailed report, you can follow the temperature profiles yourself and assess together with development, quality assurance and production which geometry or adjustment you examine next.

What simulation changes in practice

Efficiency in hot runner design: AI-optimised for peak performance and product quality

With AI-based CFD simulations, EWIKON is revolutionising temperature control in the hot runner – for more precise and more cost-efficient production.

For technical decisions with less uncertainty

Design engineering

You define hot runner geometries, flow channels and the positioning of the temperature sensors. In doing so, you have to decide which variant to pursue – often before you can check the behaviour of the system on the finished hot runner. The simulation supports you in evaluating temperature distribution, temperature homogeneity and heating element control earlier on the basis of specific sensor positions. This allows you to substantiate the next adjustment in a comprehensible way.

Production

You have to ensure stable processes and avoid scrap. If temperature or material is not distributed evenly in the hot runner system, the consequences often only become visible in your customer's production process. With an early virtual validation of the hot runner, you can address detected problems and potential improvements specifically before manufacturing.
