Overview
The Polyshot Heated Sprue Bushing product line was developed to address the precision injection molders need to process both engineered and commodity resins. Polyshot’s unique construction features a single heater, with a thermocouple sensing directly at the point of melt/freeze with a hardened tool steel body. The performance and reliability of our Hot Sprue Bushings have set the gold standard for over 30 years. To date, we have produced hundreds of millions of parts for the medical, consumer, automotive, and recreation industries.
The profile wound single heater is encased in a removable, tapered stainless steel sleeve. This fits over the nozzle body which is also tapered. When the interface cap is tightened it forces the assembly together creating a very tight fit between the heater and nozzle body. This precise heater fit, adds to the long heater life and rapid nozzle response time.
Polyshot’s Heated Sprue Bushings are excellent at processing Liquid Crystal Polymers (LCPs), such as Vectra, in addition to other high-temperature materials such as PEEK and Ultem.

Description
The Polyshot bushing length will be shorter at room temperature than when at operating temperature, due to thermal expansion. Heated length will be +.000 to -.010 from stated dimensions. More exact length requirements can easily be achieved by machining material off the contact surface of the collar face.
For a non-standard “A” length to be finished by Polyshot, specify the special “A” length.
For a non-standard “A” length to be modified in the field by the customer, order the Polyshot Bushing with the “blank collar #109” in place of the standard collar.
The heaters in the Polyshot Bushing will operate at 208–240 single phase volts AC only. Because the Polyshot Bushing controls temperature by sensing directly at the point of melt/freeze, the settings on the controller (Firebox) will be approximately 120 °F cooler than the nozzle on the molding machine.
All dimensions are in inches. Metric Polyshot heated sprue bushings are available upon request. All Polyshot Heated Sprue Bushing drawings are available at no charge. Consult Polyshot for further information.
Conan Microbushing
Description
The Conan Version of the Polyshot Microbushing will allow the molding of very small electrical connectors and the like, with materials including glass filled LCPs and nylons. It is most often used to gate into a cold runner system, which feeds parts through a sub-gate system.
It can be installed directly into the mold with the mold maker machining the gate well detail into the cavity. It can also be furnished with a Conan R gate interface cap to allow installation into a .625″ diameter hole machined into the “A” half of the mold. The Conan R configuration will leave a slight “ring” witness line if gated directly into a molded part surface.
