The New Britain free flow tip assembly stands out as a reliable and essential component for injection molding machines, especially those from New Britain and HPM/New Britain. With its precise design and compatibility, this assembly supports efficient molding processes across a variety of applications. If you operate or maintain New Britain injection molding equipment, understanding the features and benefits of this tip assembly can help you maintain peak machine performance and product quality.
What Makes the New Britain Free Flow Tip Assembly Unique
The New Britain free flow tip assembly is designed specifically for New Britain injection molding machines, which are widely used in both thermoplastic and thermoset molding. This assembly features a 2 5/16" diameter with an overall length (OAL) of 6.28 inches and a 30-degree tip angle. These specifications ensure smooth material flow and reduce the risk of clogging or material degradation during the injection process.
The tip assembly’s design supports consistent shot sizes and reliable molding cycles, which are critical for maintaining product quality and reducing downtime. Its free flow design allows for better material movement, which is especially important when working with complex or sensitive materials.
Compatible Machines and Applications
New Britain machines equipped with this free flow tip assembly cover a range of tonnages and shot sizes, making them versatile for various molding needs. Some notable models include:
New Britain Model 150TP9
A 150-ton horizontal toggle machine with a 9 oz shot size, ideal for larger parts and higher volume production.
New Britain 75
A 75-ton horizontal machine with a 4 oz shot size, capable of handling both thermoplastic and thermoset materials, offering flexibility for different molding projects.
HPM/New Britain Hybrids
Since HPM acquired New Britain’s injection molding line, many older HPM machines also use these tip assemblies, ensuring continued compatibility and ease of maintenance.
These machines are commonly found in industries ranging from automotive parts manufacturing to consumer goods, where precision and reliability are key.
Alternative Compatibility with Other Brands
While the New Britain free flow tip assembly is tailored for New Britain machines, the free flow style tip design is popular across other major injection molding brands. Aftermarket suppliers such as IMS Company and Telar Corp offer similar tips compatible with:
Van Dorn / Demag machines
Nissei injection molding machines
Toshiba molding equipment
Cincinnati Milacron machines
This broad compatibility means that if you operate multiple brands or have older machines, you can often find suitable free flow tip assemblies that meet your needs without compromising performance.

Installation Tips and Maintenance Advice
Proper installation and regular maintenance of the free flow tip assembly help maximize its lifespan and performance. Here are some practical tips:
Inspect the tip assembly before installation for any signs of wear or damage.
Ensure the 30-degree tip angle aligns correctly with the machine’s nozzle to maintain optimal flow.
Clean the tip assembly regularly to prevent buildup of material residue, which can affect flow and shot quality.
Replace the tip assembly promptly if you notice any deformation or wear that could impact molding precision.
Following these steps helps avoid costly downtime and maintains consistent production quality.
Practical Example: Using the Tip Assembly in Thermoset Applications
Thermoset molding requires precise temperature and pressure control, and the New Britain free flow tip assembly supports these demands by allowing smooth material flow without degradation. For example, a manufacturer producing automotive electrical components using a New Britain 75 machine benefits from the tip assembly’s design by achieving consistent shot sizes and reducing scrap rates.
This practical application highlights how the right tip assembly contributes directly to product quality and operational efficiency.
