The home of the innovative and energy saving BLUEFLOW® thick film heater technology! www.blueflow.de

Günther are a market leader in the manufacture of high quality precision Hot Runner Systems for moulds with 1 to 128 (and more) cavities. Able to process materials ranging from commodity plastics to even the most difficult technical polymers, the Gunther range incorporates hydraulic, pneumatic and electric valve gate systems, innovative side gate solutions in various designs and even systems for micro moulding applications as well as standard tips in different sizes. All nozzles feature the unique patented bi-metallic shafts which the Gunther name was built on.

The Günther Hot runner System has an innovative and patented bi-metallic titanium shaft at the core of its technical advantages over other systems which minimises heat transfer from hot runner nozzle to mould tool but which additionally gives a perfect seal in the tool. Both open and valve gate systems are available for single or high cavity production moulds as systems only or as completed hot halves. We were also the first system to offer a plate operated valve gate system, a market sector we remain at the forefront of. Advanced designs of multi tip nozzle and a full selection of hot runner controllers complement the range and we are happy to give you the right advice over which system/design is suitable for you application. Installation and mould trial attendance/assistance are also available via the UK.
