LA500 Airtect Nozzle/Hot Runner Leak Detection
Nozzle and Barrel Leak Protection
The Airtect Plastic Leak Alarm System
The Airtect Plastic Leak Alarm System is increasingly being deployed by quality moulders in order to save on maintenance costs, safeguard "lights out" production, and to maximize annual uptime.

Principle of Operation
Quickly detects plastic leaks, reducing damage to tools and/or equipment. Fine Sensor Tubes carrying tiny volumes of air are fitted close to the nozzle tip and/or inside the mould to potential leak sites. When a leak begins, the restriction in airflow is quickly detected by sensitive pressure sensors. The system offers a range of programmable interlock options allowing for instant or delayed injection cycle stop and/or audible and visual alarm only.
