what gate to use?
(OP)
What type of gate do you recomend? Allmost a pot shaped part 120 x62x11 mm (volume 14cm3 ) has hole (diameter 6 mm ) in center.
Part has uniform thickness 2 mm, material PS. There is one cavity in the injection mold. Gate must be
automatically degated. Diaphragma gate would be suitble but it requires manual degating operation.

RE: what gate to use?
Of course a diaphram gate would be most desirable for this part. It sounds as though your part is too large to try an edge gate. Although you could make a drop down to the center bore (Hole in pot) and have it branch out 3 ways evenly to (3) edge gates.
