AGS Machine Modifications to Process Regrind

AGS Machine Modifications to Process Regrind

 Working with up to 100% regrind represents its own set of processing challenges.  Based on experience and continuous improvement AGS mitigates regrind related processing issues with specially modified injection molding machines: Material conveying challenges include coarse sized chunks and longs that can obstruct the flow of plastic in standard diameter hoses/pipes.   Fines generated during the […]
