Plastics processing is a complex system of dialing in and maintaining quality parts as efficiently as possible. Companies with solid process setups start presses quickly, producing no more than three ...

The key to being a good plastics processor requires more than setting up validated injection molding processes — you also need to be able analyze those processes when they stop working. Process ...

Unstable and uncontrolled processes account for most financial drains in the injection molding process. Between 60 and 70% of all molding errors can be traced back to the tempering of the injection ...

During the injection molding process, harsh conditions (high temperature, high speed) and deterioration of plastic additives can release high volumes of decomposition gases. Mold deposits, gas burns, ...

Drying of plastic resin can be a key step in the injection molding process, since too much moisture can cause a number of processing problems. Most polymers exhibit at least some level of polarity and ...
