Further, our team can assist with part design optimization (including runner and gating setup) for the long fiber technology and can also review your tooling to ensure LFT molding optimization.

Relocate the gate to minimize the flow length to thickness ratio

By incorporating all the parameters (part design, tool layout, processing requirements, and material selection) there is an opportunity to proactively adjust the gate and runner location and size to ensure quality parts are consistently produced.  Ask your material supplier for more information about startup, processing temperatures, shutdown, drying, gate size, gate types, flow rates, purging, regrind, etc.

Our supply base currently includes 63 suppliers: 70% located in the UK, 12% in the EU and the remaining 18% split between China, USA and India.

The use of a shut-off nozzle or valve gating, as well as the screw position control, is advantageous to prevent premature foaming. Our experience has shown that the following adjustments are effective: • The gates and runners should be designed to achieve a quick and uniform filling of the mold • The melt flow should be directed from thin- walled to thick-walled sections • It is important for the mold to have good venting at the end of the flow path, in “dead-end” recesses and at the ejection pins The tooling strength for foam injection molds need not be as high as for solid injection molds as the internal pressure is now lower, due to the reduced viscosity of the base polymer, when the dissolved gases plasticize it. The foaming system typically employs shut-off nozzles and/or valve gates to keep pressure on the melt and keep the gas solubilized.

Our Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) Calculator is designed to provide precise insights into the carbon footprint of our solutions (from cradle to gate), enabling informed decisions for a more sustainable future.
