Author:gly    Date: 2024-09-30    

Specification of the system on projects since 2010 has produced 1,000 tonnes of recycled plastic product, equivalent to 120 (20 tonne) lorry loads.Traditional cavity wall build-ups would have required an extra 80,000 tonnes of concrete blocks, equivalent to 4,000 lorry loads, says the company.

Europe will hold the second largest market share and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period. Due to their high quality and energy efficiency, there has been a surge in the usage of all-electric injection molding machines in Europe. In addition, major market participants are spending considerable effort to deliver injection molding machines that fulfill the requirements of their clients by supplying customized and machine-type-based machines. Europe's economic expansion has led to a larger consumer market, indirectly benefiting the injection-molded plastics industry. In addition, the growth of the packaging, automotive, and electrical appliance industries is expected to increase the need for injection-molded plastics, boosting the market for injection molding equipment in Europe.

Advantage of Low Labour Cost and Mass Production Along with Material Flexibility and Low Production Waste to Drive the Global Injection Moulding Machines Market

The weight for weight comparison of the polypropylene in SureCav versus concrete blocks covers the material manufacture process, but not emissions associated with transportation and construction. According to Ayers, a more detailed assessment could reveal even greater carbon savings, for example, a lighter structure means concrete footings can be made at least 100mm narrower.

An embodied carbon assessment of SureCav, based on information from the Carbon & Energy (ICE) database created by Bath University, found that it halved the carbon footprint of cavity wall construction, compared with traditional methods.

New York, United States, March 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Injection molding is a mechanism that allows for the mass production of components. It operates by injecting molten materials into a mold. It is typically employed in mass production to manufacture thousands of similar things. Components produced by injection molding include metals, glassware, elastomers, and confections. Although thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers are the most common, other polymers exist. The real benefit of injection molding is its mass manufacturing capability. After initial costs are accounted for, the unit cost of injection-molded items is extraordinarily cheap. The ingredients, such as synthetic resins (plastics), are heated and melted before they are put into the mold and cooled to form the desired shape. This process is referred to as injection molding because it resembles the injection of fluids using a syringe. Materials are melted and poured into the mold, where they solidify before being removed and completed.

A vital characteristic of the injection-molding process is its capacity to use many types of plastic to make plastic things simultaneously. Manufacturers may use thermoplastics, thermosetting, or a combination of elastomers in injection molding to get the needed properties. This technique allows for producing more complicated objects with various forms and motifs. In addition, once the mold is prepared, the manufacturer can adjust the component's material and color. This factor is projected to drive the global market for injection molding machines. In addition, injection molding helps to reduce manufacturing waste. The majority of polymers produced by injection molding are recyclable.

According to Straits Research, “The global injection molding machines market size had a market share of USD 10,724 million in 2021, expected to advance to USD 16,964 million with a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period.” Injection molding is an automated process in which an automatic tool operates efficiently on an injection molding machine. Machines and robots perform the majority of injection molding. These persons are solely accountable for overseeing and managing the process. This automation reduces the labor costs of the process. This drop in labor expenditure is predicted to reduce the cost of manufacturing plastic components. In addition, injection molding can make many identical components every hour.

SureCav has been used by housebuilders including Barratt Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Redrow and Persimmon. There are currently two products on the market: SureCav50, a 50mm deep panel developed for natural stone wall cavities; and SureCav25, launched in 2016, a 25mm deep membrane designed to enable more insulation to be installed inside a cavity, cutting the U-value to at least 0.18 W/m2K.

Charlie Ayers, managing director at SureCav says: 'A standard cavity size on a traditional house build is 100mm. SureCav25 allows the builder or developer to install an additional 25mm of insulation in the same cavity, lowering the U-value and associated heat loss from the house.

Around 3,900 lorry loads of concrete backing blocks have been taken off the roads over the last decade by building with a recycled plastic cavity wall membrane, its manufacturer claims.

'Ultimately, we want to get the 25mm product into more houses and prove to people that we can get the U-values in all the walls down. This would make a tremendous difference in the energy required to heat the houses because everybody has got to save as much energy as they can right now,' he says.

Asia-Pacific's injection molding machines market share will grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. Due to the region's expanding demand for injection-molded plastics, it is projected that China, India, and Indonesia will contribute to expanding the Asia-Pacific injection molding machine market. This is due to the expansion of the packaging industry. In addition, significant companies such as NISSEI Plastic Industrial Co. Ltd. and Japan Steel Works Ltd. are employing various strategies, such as cooperation, acquisition, and others, to accelerate the expansion of the market.

'SureCav is used a tremendous amount on timber frame, it can be screwed to the frame using special waterproof grommets, lining the entire timber frame to provide protection when masons build the external skin of stonework.'

SureCav is an injection-moulded polypropylene cavity former that enables the construction of stone, slate, flint or brick walls without the need for an outer block leaf.
