Core offering

Synventive designs, manufactures, and services custom-configured hot runner systems — including nozzles (threaded, sliding, valve gate, thermal), manifolds, actuators, and pre-assembled hot halves — for plastics injection molding. The portfolio is extended by proprietary activeGate flow control modules (Synflow pin control and Dynamic Feed closed-loop pressure control), the IntelliGate digital-sensor hot runner platform, VMI valve monitoring, the moldMIND digital cockpit, and integrated Gammaflux temperature controllers and Priamus FILLCONTROL cavity-pressure systems, supported by Mold Fill Analysis simulation, a Molding Solutions Tech Center, field service, maintenance/repair/overhaul, and training services.

Product overview

Synventive Molding Solutions offers a comprehensive portfolio of hot runner systems and flow control technologies for the plastics injection molding industry. The core product line centers on custom-configured Hot Runner Systems including nozzles (threaded, sliding, valve gate, thermal), manifolds, actuators, and hot halves. These are complemented by activeGate technology modules (VMI monitoring, moldMIND digital cockpit, Synflow pin control, Dynamic Feed pressure control) that enable precise melt flow management. Process control is enhanced through Gammaflux temperature controllers (LEC, G24 series) and Priamus FILLCONTROL systems for real-time cavity monitoring. Supporting services include a Molding Solutions Tech Center for testing and training, Mold Fill Analysis for simulation, field service and support, and an online Hot Runner Configurator. The portfolio is unified through the common goal of enabling customers to produce perfect injection molded parts with efficiency and reliability.
