Gammaflux to provide Controllers to Milacron under Private-Label Manufacturing Agreement

Sterling, VA (September 29, 2011) . . . Gammaflux L.P., the world’s leading supplier of hot runner temperature control systems, has announced it has reached a private label manufacturing agreement with Milacron LLC of Batavia, OH. Effective immediately, Milacron will distribute the complete line of Gammaflux LEC and TTC hot runner temperature controllers, as auxiliary equipment options available with its line of injection molding machines.

“We are very excited to be working with Milacron, a great American company and a global leader in injection molding machinery and equipment,” said Mike Brostedt, Gammaflux Director of Market Development. “We see our agreement as a partnership between two strong American companies, joining forces to help plastics processors improve their molding operations.”

“Gammaflux’s hot runner offering further enhances our robust Auxiliary equipment portfolio and strengthens Milacron’s strategy of being the premier supplier of solutions for the plastics industry,” said Wayne Taylor, Business Manager, Milacron’s Purchased Products Group. “We must continue to deliver value to our customers, which is why the Gammaflux hot runner is integrated with our advanced Mosaic ® machine control to provide a seamless solution.”

In addition to using the stand-alone Gammaflux controllers for hot runner molding, Milacron is also planning to integrate the Gammaflux controls directly into their machine control panels. “Our TTC controls have a panel-mount option that allows them to be seamlessly integrated into the molding machine’s control panel,” said Brostedt. “This can save valuable floor space by eliminating the need for a separate floor-standing control cabinet, and the molding machine interface can communicate directly with the TTC,” he said. Gammaflux control functions can be accessed and displayed directly on the Milacron machine’s human machine interface (HMI) or on a separate remote monitor.

Gammaflux features a 5-Year Warranty on all of its hot runner temperature control systems. It covers all of the company’s LEC and TTC temperature control products but excludes the touchscreen interface, which has a 2-year warranty.

Gammaflux LEC controllers are designed for smaller hot runner system applications, from 2 to 24 zones. The LEC is offered with 2, 6 and 12 zone enclosures and features a modular design for simple control card removal, addition or replacement.

The Gammaflux TTC family of hot runner temperature control systems provides state-of-the-art performance for molding applications up to 640 zones.
