Patented Moxietec® shut-off nozzle
Less scrap. Premium surface on foamed parts.
A shut-off nozzle optimized for foam injection molding — a completely unrestricted flow path and a cooled tip that ends cold slugs and drool. Fully designed and manufactured at Moxietec, and built to fit your press.

How it works
Two features make the difference.
01
Completely unrestricted flow
The flow channel keeps a constant diameter through the nozzle after the pin, so nothing disrupts the melt. That removes the polymer's "memory effects" for more consistent processing — and reduces peak injection melt pressure.
02
A cooled tip
An integrated cooling channel solidifies the residual polymer in front of the angled shut-off pin, so it pulls out with the sprue. No residue left behind, no cold slug in the next part — ideal for temperature-sensitive materials, and faster polymer and color changes.
Advantages
What changes on your press.
Part qualityFewer rejects, better surfaces
01
Eliminates cold slugs
Solidified material leaves with the sprue, every cycle.
02
Eliminates tip drool
A positive shut-off holds pressurized, gas-laden melt in the barrel.
03
Process consistency
The cooled tip and constant flow channel keep shot-to-shot behavior stable.
04
Lower peak melt pressure
An unrestricted path means less pressure needed to fill.
Fit & flexibilityWorks with what you run
05
Faster changeovers
Polymer and color changes clear quickly.
06
Hydraulic or pneumatic
Configured for the controls your machine already has.
07
Position sensors
Actuator piston sensors report whether the nozzle is open or closed.
08
Foam or solid
Optimized for foam injection molding, suitable for standard thermoplastics too.
