StellarONE - Multicavity Hot Runner System
Rethinking Melt Delivery
Main benefits:
- standardized nozzles comes with many benefits
- several gate options
- precise and stable heating
- extreme durability
Built Upon Decades of Experience
StellarONE is the next evolution in DME's long line of hot runner product offerings.
StellarONE combines the best of DME's legacy systems with today's hot runner technology. Available in both thermal and valve gate configurations, six flow paths and several gate options, the modular StellarONE is an incredibly flexible and competent hot runner system supporting a very wide range of resins, including many complex engineering resins. StellarONE features thermally and geometrically balanced manifold designs for consistent melt delivery.
StellarONE is a true global platform, with service and component availability in Europe, North America and Asia. Designed to compete with advanced systems yet reasonably priced.
Standardized nozzle components across the family ensures global avaiability of replacement parts. Tips are serviceable with the mould in the IMM, only remove the cavity plate.
Rethinking Melt Delivery with StellarONE
Precision Temperature
Our heater technology offers stable heating with minimal heat loss. Direct heating via replaceable brass sleeve heaters for diffusion into the nozzle body. Thermocouples are ideally positioned for accurate temperature control, all serviceable within the molding machine. The result is an even temperature profile along the entire length of the nozzle, guaranteeing high process reliability and repeatability. The StellarONE system accommodates a broad range of polymers.
More Processing Control
Accurate melt distribution from the barrel to the gate and throughout the cavity delivers consistent molding results.
StellarONE tip designs minimize melt residency in the gate well to ensure quick color change performance.
Extreme Durability
Our systems are built to perform through the life cycle of the tool 24/7, by incorporating hardened nozzle bodies and wear-resistant tip needles and manifolds when the application requires it.

StellarONE Hot Runner Manifold Systems
StellarONE Hot Runner Manifold Systems are designed with balanced runner systems to deliver the melt to the cavity efficiently. Design selection is based on process variables such as resin, shot size, gate vestige, and overall system performance requirements.
Features:
- Turn-Key Systems: Complete hot half assemblies are fully assembled and power tested, ready to bolt on to the mold base, eliminating the need for machining, wiring and testing before the mold trial run.
- All Manifold & Component systems come complete with: Tubular Heaters, Thermocouples, Titanium Pressure Pads, Manifold & Nozzle Locators as required.
- All Manifold & Component systems are supplied with full system drawings.
- Balanced Design: Thermal and geometric balancing provides uniform distribution, cavity to cavity.
- Tubular Heating Elements provide excellent heat distribution throughout the manifold and standard replacement parts are available globally " off shelf quick delivery.
- Hardened Steel Construction to provide a solid, long-life foundation.
- Mold flow analysis is available, upon request, for all manifold inquiries.
