It has also been a fantastic tool for education purposes due to it's simple nature - very easy for kids to visualise the recycling process at schools/events!

As a small business looking to scale, the idea of manufacturing your own parts from recycled plastic is exciting. However, even through the material is free, the time to prepare and change over moulds can make it a costly exercise. Until now! What we love so much about this machine is the genius clamping & injection system. Ultimately this minimises mould changeover time and brings the cost to produce to a scaleable amount. Very stoked and even more excited to see what other businesses can do with this technology.

1. When cooled with water after ejection, increase the temperature of the cooling water or reduce the water-cooling time

Features:• Spring-loaded, height-adjustable barrel for seamless adjustments and precision crafting• Rack and pinion mechanism ensures optimised pressure for powerful leverage and professional results• Gears seamlessly convert rotation into linear motion for efficient operation• Boltable design guarantees a stable foundation for reliable injection moulding• Easy-to-mount, relocatable electrical box provides flexible setup• Premium quality stainless steel hopper designed to withstand the test of time

5. Does the strong friction between the metal wall of the hopper loader and the acrylic pellets cause the metal wall to peel off?

6. Is there any soot or dust mixed in from the vents of the hopper loader, or whether there are foreign substances generated by the hopper loader itself?

These are the ring-shaped stripes that occur on the surface of a product and are centered around the feed port. It can be prevented by taking the following measures:

The product includes all appropriate power switches and warning labels. Please note: This machine is fitted with safety features, however it's important to understand that these machines are dangerous, and proper safety measures must be implemented.

Our business has had this machine for three months and in this short time we've been able to garner community support for the program and deliver recycled plastic products to our customers. We've seen huge growth in our recycling program due to this machine.

What an amazing machine! When we first got our Injector our main priority was to make sure the Machine was safe, especially considering the people using it were going to be young men and women with disabilities - But the Pro Series Injector is such an incredible machine that is so safe and efficient - it is by far the most popular machine we have in the factory! Could not recommend enough! 11/10

The defects in the injection molding of acrylic PMMA usually include: short shot, silver streaks, sink marks, voids, jetting, weld marks, gray / black specks, cracking, warpage, and material impurity, while the preventive measures against them are usually:

7. Increase the cross-sectional area of the gate (main runner, branch runner, and feed port) and reduce its length, to allow the resin to flow more easily and reduce the barrel temperature.

3. Are there any other resins mixed in the pre-dryer, or are there any foreign substances caused by friction between the dryer and the receiver?

Embark on a journey of boundless creativity with our Pro-Series Injection Machine. Witness the magic as shredded plastic enters the hopper, undergoes a transformative heating process through a precision-engineered barrel, and emerges into your product mould as a bespoke masterpiece. Experience reliable and precise production output, unlocking the potential for extraordinary upcycled creations.

From the basics of plastic through to safety and fumes, get started on your recycling journey with online and downloadable resources.

Dive into the world of artistic expression thanks to plunger-driven colour mixing within the machine barrel, where vibrant hues gracefully intertwine, turning every product you create into a unique and mesmerising piece featuring the colour swirls Precious Plastic products are so famous for!

5. Increase the cross-sectional area of the gate (main runner, branch runner, and feed port), and reduce its length, to allow the resin to flow more easily

These are the cracks that occur on the surface or the contact surface with the insert of a product. When viewed from a certain angle, it will flicker and emit light. The causes of this defect are relatively complicated, which, however, can be prevented by taking the following measures:

These are the voids that occur where the product wall is thick. For transparent PMMA products, they will become an exterior defect that cannot be remedied later. Insufficient drying before molding or excessive barrel temperature may cause voids to occur in areas other than the center of the thick wall. If the shrinkage is concentrated in the thick wall, voids will appear in the center of the thick wall. It can be solved by the prevention of shrinkage, or by the following measures:

9. Increase the cross-sectional area of the gate (main runner, branch runner, and feed port) and reduce its length, to allow the resin to flow more easily.

Here you'll find everything you need to get started, from risk assessment templates to comprehensive troubleshooting guides.

PMMA acrylic are widely used in all aspects of the optical field, so it is extremely necessary to prevent the mixing of impurities. Usually, there are many ways for foreign substances to be mixed in. It is time-consuming to find out the reason, but you can start with the following aspects:

These are the silver-white streaks on the product surface which are generated in the feed port along the flow direction of the resin. Caused by multifaceted factors, silver streaks can be prevented by taking the following measures:

This is caused because the resin does not fill the cavity fully. To prevent its occurrence, we can take the following measures:
