Abstract: The hot runner nozzle (1) for injecting plastic material into a molding tool comprises a needle valve with a nozzle needle (19) for closing the discharge opening (25). The nozzle needle (19) has the same diameter as the cylindrical bore in the discharge opening (25) and is inserted therein in order to close the cylindrical bore in the discharge opening (25). During the injection process the nozzle needle (19) is outside the melt flow and cannot cause said melt flow to swirl and is not radially loaded by the melt flow.

Abstract: The hot channel die (1) is arranged within a casing (13) filled with oil. In the hollow space (15) filled with oil, baffles (17, 19) are installed which effect a current of the oil directed toward the two ends of the die (1). For this purpose, the heating element (23) is arranged on the underside of the casing (13). The discharge sleeve (117), which introduces the liquid plastic from the feeding screw, discharges into the hollow body (115), which is mounted in a recess in the hot runner plate (105) of a hot channel injection molding die. The distribution conduits (119), which are constructed as curved tubes, are installed on the discharge sleeve (117), and lead to the side wall (121), against which the rear ends of the injection nozzles lie. The hollow space (125) is filled with a heat-conducting medium, for example oil, which is heated by a heater (127) and uniformly circulated within the hollow space (125) by convention or motorized circulation.
