With over 1000 employees and more than 50 branches worldwide, and 3 production plants in Italy, China and the US, Oerlikon HRSflow is well backed up to manage very complex international projects and support customers with flexibility, high quality standards and short delivery times in design and production. FLEXflow, the servo driven valve gate technology, is a patent pending solution which is one of the most recent examples for Oerlikon HRSflow's innovative power. FLEXflow is designed for the independent adjustment of each valve pin with precise control of stroke and force during opening and closing phases. This solution assures accurate, easy to operate, flexible control of pressures and flow rates at each individual gate during the injection process. Giving the user the ability to individually drive valve pins, it opens the door to many other possibilities. The most promising application trends for FLEXflow technology include family molds and back-injection of films.
