Injection moulding – swarf control
PROBLEM
Static charges on small injection moulded components may also contain small plastic particles.
- These particles may stick and damage the mould tool.
- Contaminate the conveyor to cross-contaminate later produced components
- Attraction of airborne contamination
- Products sticking to conveyor to drop on the floor under the machine
Controlling static charges are key to producing quality product to suit the customer need.
SOLUTION
- Positioning a Meech Hyperion air curtain over the top of the tool to deliver ionised air down the tool face, neutralising charged components to prevent attraction.
- Positioning a hygienic bar below the tool face neutralises the conveyor belt and products as the fall.
- A Meech air amplifier can provide a negative airflow to capture contamination and be safely ducted away to a filtration bag.
