Customer Thoughts
“We were looking for something different in our supplier relationship. Not only was it important to uncover a unique conveyor design, but to find a conveyor manufacturer that held similar beliefs. Upon our first visit to their facility, we knew we had found a company with family values.” -- Eric Kohorst, President at RFID Library Solutions

- Output Stability +/- 5%
Effects of Diametrical wear factor of .025-.030 may result in a 60 lb/hr output reduction due to wear ·
- Nominal Rate 1,440 lbs/hr
- Melt Temperature 430 to 450° F
- Output Stability +/- 10%
Penalty Cost:
60 lbs/hour x 0.65 = $ 65/hour x 24 hours = $936 per day
An Xaloy Screw Rebuild for a 4.5" 24:1 L/D Barrier Screw with Colmonoy 56 hard surfacing costs $ 3,642 with a 2-week delivery.

Xaloy Intoduces SmartHeat
08/05/2011
|
|
Xaloy introduces
SmartHeat™
for Injection Molding Barrels
with Xaloy's patent pending
Integrated Melt-Stream Heating Technology
No More Heater Bands!
|
|
SmartHeat™ uses a robust "heater coating" plasma-sprayed to the exterior surface of the barrel. This integrated approach insures uniform and responsive control for superior processing.
 
~ Virtually eliminate energy losses, and outside stays cool to the touch
(98% efficient with SmartHeat™ thermal insulation)
~ Thermal inertia is virtually eliminated
~ Heat applied uniformly
~ Heater performance stays constant for the life of the barrel
~ Heater temperature barely exceeds the process temperature,
maximizing safety, efficiency and reliability
|
|
|
|
|
Consider SmartHeat™ to achieve your sustainability goals:
- Save energy and cut power costs
- Increase capacity and avoid expansion costs
- Slash maintenance time and costs
- Ensure your validated process never changes
- Increase yields:
- Reduce start-up times
- Reduce cycle times
- Reduce material use
- Reduce scrap

Engel North America Medical Days
05/13/2011
Precision. Quality. Cleanliness. No Compromise.
What are today’s latest trends in medical technology?
What innovative injection molding solutions will help you maintain your competitive advantage?
Join us June 15-16, 2011.
ENGEL Medical Days
05/05/2011
York, Pa. – May 5, 2011 – What are today‘s latest trends in medical technology?
What innovative injection molding solutions will help you to maintain your
competitive advantage in the future? These questions and more will be answered at ENGEL’s upcoming medical symposium being held June 15th & 16th in York, PA.
Injection molders wanting more information, or to register for the June 15-16 symposium, can e-mail sales@engelglobal.com.
ENGEL North America, member of the ENGEL group, a world leader in the design and manufacture of injection molding machines and parts-handling automation, is hosting a two day event focused specifically on new developments in medical molding. The event will be held in the Technical Center of ENGEL’s North American headquarters, York, PA.
The program will include a diverse mix of interesting and informative presentations by professionals, for professionals, relating to all aspects of the medical molding industry.
Some of the technical sessions include:
Preplan and Verify - Injection Molding Machine Concepts for the Medical Industry
Fundamentals of Particle Counting
Precision Automation Solutions for the Medical Molding Industry
Advanced Processes and Technologies for Medical Device Manufacturing
Authentication Features for Medical Devices and Packaging
Functional & Economical Considerations for Plastics in Human Diagnostics
Multivariate Closed-Loop Control for Parametric Release in Injection Molding
To demonstrate ENGEL’s competency in the medical technology field, three injection molding systems will be running during the event, providing visitors with a first-hand look at some of today’s latest molding processes and technologies.
An ENGEL e-motion 1340/280 T will be demonstrating fully automatic, fully electric
production of a polystyrene petri dish with a cycle time of 3.7 seconds, using an 8 + 8-stack mold. The system supports fully automated takeout, quality assurance sampling without interruption in production, assembly, and stacking and bagging of the parts. The 3.7 second cycle time is almost a full second faster than existing hydraulic machines and makes this the fastest, most energy efficient petri dish system in the world.
A fully integrated system for the manufacturing of PP pipette tips will be shown on a 110 ton ENGEL e-max all-electric machine. In a cycle time of just 6 seconds, the parts are molded in a 32 cavity precision mold, extracted by a side entry robot, inspected by a vision system and deposited on racks sorted by cavity. The pipette tips, with extremely long and thin mold cores, require exceptional process control of high speed injection to meet the demanding levels of product quality.
The hybrid ENGEL e-victory 80/30 US will run a 2-cavity LSR duck bill mold with automatic part inspection and removal. The extremely small shot size of this mold (0.062 grams / 0.0035 cubic inches) makes this an excellent application for demonstration of the ENGEL x-melt process. Use of the ENGEL x-melt process enables the accumulator-free, cost-effective production of parts with wallthicknesses significantly less than 0.5-mm, and provides molders with the ability to produce microparts with unprecedented repeatability, but without the need to investment in special-purpose capital equipment.
The ENGEL e-victory machine series is characterized by a high-precision, servoelectrical injection unit and a tie bar-less, hydraulic clamping unit. With the addition of the new ecodrive, this machine has become as energy efficient as an all-electric machine.
Caption: High speed, high precision molding of PP pipette tips will be demonstrated on a 110 ton ENGEL e-max all-electric machine.
The high performance, fully-electric ENGEL e-motion T sets new standards of efficiency, an will be shown at ENGEL’s Medical Days event running production of petri dishes.
