Case Study:
Leader in Recycled Plastics Injection Molding Drove Down Operator Invention & Scrap, With Better Quality & Cycle Time.
Challenge:
AGS Technology specializes in injection molding raw recycled feedstock resin into plastics parts. This process is difficult for several reasons.
- Viscosity of recycled feedstock is highly variable requiring frequent operator adjustments.
- The variation and adjusting leads to problems in product quality.
- Processing challenges drive high scrap levels.
Action:
AGS partnered iMFLUX to help them reduce operator adjustments, improve product quality, and reduce scrap levels.
Results:
| Operator Adjustments: | Frequent to Minimized |
|---|---|
| Scrap Rate Reduction: | 85% |
| Cycle Time Reduction: | 7% |
| Pressure/Tonnage Reduction: | 30% |
- iMFLUX has been called a game-changer for AGS, strengthening their competitive advantage.
- AGS continues to expand iMFLUX across their site.
