When starting up a new mold, begin with short-shots, then gradually increase the shot size until all part cavities are 80-90% filled. The screw rpm should be set so that the screw is fully recovered for the next shot, typically 2 - 3 seconds before the mold opens. If the screw recovers too fast, and the machine is equipped with a screw delay timer, set the delay time so that there is minimal delay after the screw is fully recovered and the mold opens.

Green energy is another area we are routinely evaluating, and in 2018 we were proud to install three windmills at our Assesse, Belgium production facility. Combined with the rooftop panels we installed in prior years, our Assesse facility now draws 80% of its required production energy from solar and wind sources. Avient Canada ULC
