Thermoplay delivers a complete portfolio of hot runner solutions engineered to provide reliable melt distribution, consistent part quality and efficient production performance. From individual nozzles and manifolds to valve gate and integrated hot half systems, Thermoplay supports a wide range of injection molding applications.
A comprehensive range of thermal gate and valve gate nozzle solutions designed for direct injection, sprue injection and demanding molding applications. Available in a wide range of nozzle and tip configurations to support process flexibility, consistent part quality and reliable long-term performance.
A versatile nozzle portfolio featuring external-body sealing technology, engineered for reliable operation and simplified mold integration. Available for direct injection, sprue injection and valve gate applications across a broad range of molding requirements.
WEBCREATOR is a web-based design application for configuring Thermoplay Hot Runner Systems with standard nozzles and accessories. This generates high quality CAD 2D and 3D models reducing the production time.
The hot runner system is freely configured in relation to the distance between the nozzles and accounts for the polymer processing conditions. The diameter of the manifold channels, as well as of the descent holes to the nozzles and the injection bushing size are configured to suit.
After configuration the 2D drawings and 3D models are generated in the selected format and sent by email to the user in a single zipped file, which also includes the configuration sheet and part list (in pdf format).
Any configurations made can be modified to generate a new drawing later. WEBCREATOR does not perform any check on the configured system in relation to the injected polymer.

Thermoplay valve gate solutions are designed to enhance gate aesthetics, improve process consistency and provide precise control throughout the molding cycle. A range of actuation and configuration options supports diverse application requirements and long-term production reliability.
Thermoplay manifold systems are developed to deliver balanced flow paths, optimized thermal performance and reliable melt delivery. Available in a variety of layouts and configurations, they support consistent processing across a broad range of injection molding applications.
Thermoplay hot half systems combine nozzles, melt distribution technologies and valve gate solutions into a fully integrated assembly. Pre-engineered and factory-tested configurations help simplify mold integration, reduce setup time and support reliable production performance.
Thermoplay provides dedicated support for installed systems through original spare parts, replacement components and technical assistance. Tool replication and historical product support help manufacturers maintain production continuity and maximize the lifetime of existing investments.
Hot runner systems are the heart of efficient injection molding — but even the best equipment wears over time. Our refurbishment service restores worn or damaged components to optimal condition, ensuring precise temperature control, improved flow, and consistent product quality. Avoid unplanned downtime and costly replacements while keeping your production running smoothly.
Our two-day training program combines in-depth theoretical instruction with hands-on practice directly in the workshop. It is designed for professionals who want to understand not only the principles of hot runner systems, but also how to install, maintain, and service them effectively.
From Fundamentals to Practical Expertise!
Precise temperature management is the key to producing consistent, high-quality parts while keeping scrap rates low and profitability high.
Our advanced Gammaflux control systems deliver unmatched accuracy, stability, and user-friendly operation. With intelligent temperature monitoring and adaptive control, you can ensure optimal melt flow, reduce downtime, and increase the overall efficiency of your production process.
Whether you’re running small-scale projects or high-cavity, high-volume production, Gammaflux technology provides the precision and reliability you need to take full control of your hot runner system.
The thermal side gate nozzle from Männer proves in demanding, high-volume production that cosmetic gate points, easy assembly, and long-term reliability can be seamlessly combined.
Even in high-cavity molds, this technology ensures consistent performance and superior part quality – making it the ideal choice when precision and appearance matter most.
