This hot runner device discharges supplied molten material to a resin inletof a mold. A hot runner bodycomprises an inlet opening into which the molten material is supplied, an outlet opening from which the molten material is discharged, and a flow passage. The inlet opening is formed at one end, and the outlet opening is formed at the other end. The flow passage connects the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The hot runner bodyis driven and moved by a drive mechanismso that the outlet openingcan make contact with the resin inletof each of a plurality of molds whose resin inletsare disposed at different positions. Accordingly, the hot runner device can be commonly used for the plurality of molds whose resin inlets are disposed at different positions.
