Big thanks to AIM Processing and Jon Gelston for hosting me for October's On Site tour. I have visited a lot of custom #injectionmolding facilities over the years but can't think of any that apply automation like AIM (the fact that they do so in my backyard is a nice bonus).
AIM Processing has parlayed small part molding expertise and aggressive automation, even for short run production, into a highly successful custom molding business. AIM Processing designs and builds its own end-of-arm-tools, creating an in-house store of components for a “grown-up Erector set” according to company president Jon Gelston. https://bit.ly/3XRGOY7 #automation #cobots #PlantTour #injectionmolding #CustomMolding

Many plasticating, smooth-bore, single-screw extrusion processes benefit from decreasing the extrudate or discharge temperature. In many cases, decreasing the discharge temperature will improve product quality and perhaps even boost rate. Extrusion expert, Mark Spalding shares different ways to do it. https://bit.ly/3ZVeEy2 #extrusion #basics #filmextrusion #sheetextrusion

By using granulators at the press side, Mayhew Basque Plastics, LLC reintroduces regrind immediately, but hot molded materials posed a challenge. They turned to WITTMANN USA's ML 33 low-speed bladed granulator, which reduces dust, minimizes cleaning needs, and boosts cooling for improved throughput. https://bit.ly/3BKRfoW #processing #plastics #regrind #efficiency #cooling #sustainability
