August 2018
1 hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable time of vacation. Many schools have started the new school year and the others will be soon.
The baseball season is heading into the stretch run and teams are trying to position themselves for the playoffs. My Cincinnati Reds will be looking to the offseason to improve for next year’s playoffs. Football teams are getting ready for their new season. Everyone is trying to make improvements, so they can make the playoffs this year with the hope of being champions.
In manufacturing, we are always looking at ways to improve all aspects of our business. From raw material cost reductions, to process improvements, to lower PPM numbers and improve the quality of the parts going to our customers.
One-way plastic molders can improve their process which would have a positive effect on their bottom line is to use hot runners in their molds. As I have said in the past, with hot runners you can inject directly to the part. That decreases material usage, eliminates the need for gate cutters which decreases cycle time. A spillover benefit is not needing to regrind runners and that will help your shop floor in 5S (cleanliness) and noise level.
The FISA hot runner nozzles have a patented system that does not require hydraulics or pneumatics to open and close. The pressure generated from the barrel and screw open and close the gates. This is very effective in a multi-drop tool as the pressures equalize and the gates all operate simultaneously.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to learn how FISA hot runner nozzles can help you improve your process and bottom line.
Until next month; be safe, root your favorite teams to win, and keep making good parts.
