The Polymer Cleaning Process
Using the latest cleaning technology our skilled technicians can remove any grade of resin from any manifold regardless of the flow path geometry.
100% Safe
Hot Runner Manifold Cleaning by PCT will not damage/distort the manifold, or alter the surface finish.
Quick & Easy
We’ll clean your Hot Runner Manifold on your schedule. Most jobs are processed and returned within 24 hours, but same-day service is also available.
Thorough & Detailed
Complete removal of resin from the flow channels including all burned and degraded material. Ideal for removing metal from flow channels.
Specially Adapted
Special adaptation to work on high-temperature resins like ULTEM and LIQUID CRYSTAL. Easily cleans manifolds processing nylons up to 40% glass filled.

Hot Half Preventative Maintenance Programs
A scheduled hot runner preventive maintenance program helps identify worn parts, heater issues, contamination, and early signs of system failure before they lead to downtime. PCT’s hot half refurbishment and PM support can include disassembly, cleaning, inspection, component testing, documentation, and repair recommendations.
This type of program is especially useful for processors running high-volume molds, abrasive materials, high-temperature resins, or systems with recurring heater, seal, or flow-balance issues.

Not Sure What’s Causing Your Hot Runner Issue?
Production problems like leaking, short shots, drooling, black specks, temperature swings, and inconsistent fill can point to several possible areas of a hot runner system. PCT’s new Hot Runner Troubleshooting Assistant helps maintenance and processing teams narrow down likely inspection areas based on the symptoms they are seeing. Use the assistant to review common hot runner problems and identify whether the issue may involve hot runner cleaning/maintenance, nozzle tips, heaters, thermocouples, seals, valve pins, manifolds, or other hot runner components and processes.
Mold-Masters Repairs
Mold-Masters Hot Runners are one of the most common systems in use today.
These systems are unique in that the nozzle heater is integral to the housing rather than removable. This design feature offers processing advantages, but can also become an problem in the event
of a leak. Not only are replacement nozzles expensive, but lead time is almost always excessive for new Mold-Masters nozzle components.
Polymer Cleaning Technology has developed proprietary methods to repair and rebuild Mold-Masters nozzles, as well as laser welding broken power leads.
All repairs quoted for completion within 2-3 days.
