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 […]
We are excited to be at Amerimold 2021 in booth #731 and having George Staniulis, co-founder, presenting at the conference, for more information click on the link above.
Aluminum molds continue to be used primarily for R&D, prototypes and lower volume production. However, today there are several high strength, heat treated wrought aluminum grades available with improved durability that actually make it a preferred choice for certain types of high volume production parts.
In March 2021, AGS Technology installed three more iMFLUX units on its JSW injection molding equipment.
AGS Technology has taken delivery, installed, and is running production on two new JSW injection molding machines.
Most of the time, the clamp tonnage required to keep the mold closed during plastic injection is the key factor that dictates press size. Traditionally processors have attacked clamp tonnage using higher flow materials, increasing wall thickness, shortening length of flow and specifying larger gate sizes. Now there is another bullet in the holster; iMFLUX constant low pressure molding.
ABS+PC are blends of the amorphous engineering thermoplastics, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polycarbonate (PC). ABS+PC is similar in many ways to its component resins, but combines the mechanical and thermal properties of polycarbonate with the processability and economy of ABS.
Polyethylene is the largest volume thermoplastic used today. Polyethylene is available in a variety of grades that have a wide range of properties and are classified according to density.
Once again, AGS is featured alongside our partner iMFLUX in the August 2020 issue of Plastics Technology.
Glass fiber reinforced Nylon is a material often used to replace metal due to its higher strength to weight ratio. While Nylon 6 and Nylon 66 offer similar benefits there are distinct differences that should be taken into account when selecting between the two grades.
