Plastic Injection Molding Process - Energy Saving Techniques. The plastic injection molding process can start saving you money immediately. I am about to show you how to use the molding process more efficiently. An important part of the plastic injection molding process are the process parameter settings such as hold time and screw plasticizing time. read more
In injection molding (a versatile process used to produce a wide variety of end products), 90 percent of the energy costs go toward electricity. This makes electricity costs—and the ability to reduce those costs—of prime importance. read more
Energy savings With Variable Speed Drives According to Plastics Technology, the hydraulic pump-motor(s) account for 80% of the total energy usage on an injection molding machine. Even during periods of low hydraulic demand a maximum fixed-volume flow is produced. An example of the wasted energy at low demands is during the cooling stage of the cycle. read more
