Runner balancing (tutorial)
Runners need to be balanced in molds where there are two or more cavities, such as a multi-cavity or family mold. Balancing the runners is a way of adjusting the runner system so that the flow of melt is evenly distributed to the cavities, in order to produce a better quality part.
A balanced runner system ensures that the parts are filled evenly, in the same time and at the same pressure.
