Shut Off Nozzles
Performer Shut-off Nozzles - save time, material and money.

Positive open, positive close, provides
faster cycles and more safety.

EMI Performer Shut-Off Nozzles help optimize molding machine productivity by allowing the screw to retract while the mold is opening and closing. You’ll shave cycle times to a minimum and increase fill rates for high speed or large part molding. Positive, air operated pin closing allows faster screw recovery and stops drool in its tracks.


Why Choose the Performer Nozzle?

  • Designed to be virtually maintenance-free,
  • Available to fit any machine.
  • Interchangeable nozzle tips adapt to a variety of plastic materials and molds.
  • Alternate shut-off pins are available in 17-4PH stainless steel and CPM-9V® tool steel for processing corrosive and abrasive materials.
  • Powered by two air cylinders - much safer than hydraulic operated nozzles which can leak and flash fire. EMI Performer nozzles are the only nozzles in the industry with this feature.
  • Mica insulation protects air cylinders from heat.
  • 4 large paths through the body allow material to flow through with minimal shear. For very shear sensitive materials or fast injection rate molding, we oversize the flow through paths to further reduce shear.

Why the patented, EMI design Performer Shut Off Nozzle,
out-lasts and out-performs every other shut off nozzle
  • With spring-operated valves, you cannot positively control shut-off because spring-operated valves are dependant on injection pressure. With heat variations, springs fail prematurely. The springs themselves actually restrict resin flow and make color changes more difficult.
  • Single air valve designs wear unevenly at the cross-arm and pin, which loosens the shut-off seal making them prone to leaking, drooling, and expensive maintenance.
  • Hydraulic-operated valves have seals which may leak oil onto heater bands and other heated surfaces which may flash fire.
