Novel injection moulding process to achieve 50% cycle time saving & 100% increased productivity-Coldmould

注塑是全球的一个主要行业，欧洲约有8000家公司雇佣了数万名员工；其中许多公司是中小型企业。注塑塑料用于生产复杂和复杂的形状零件，以减少浪费实现精确度。然而，根据AMI Consulting(2015年1月报道)的数据，自2005年以来，由于全球经济状况不佳，西欧已有超过27%的注塑厂关闭。尽管该行业的价值一直在缓慢复苏，预计到2020年全球价值将达到1110亿GB(联合市场研究，2016)，但AMI的分析表明，由于模具商继续努力应对一些问题，特别是原始设备制造商的价格压力，到2018年，欧洲的模具厂数量将进一步减少2%。我们应对这一全球性问题的目标是开发我们的新型注塑解决方案，其目标是：·将周期时间减少50%；·通过减少加热/冷却将能源使用量减少33%；·将机器生产率提高100%

Injection moulding is a major global industry, with around 8000 companies across Europe employing tens of thousands of people; many of these companies are small and medium sized enterprises. Injection moulded plastics are used in production of complex and intricate shaped parts for precision with least waste. However, according to AMI Consulting (reported in Jan 2015), Western Europe has seen the closure of more than 27% of its moulding sites since 2005 due to poor global economic conditions. Although the value of the industry has been slowly recovering and is expected to be worth a global £111bn by 2020 (Allied Market Research, 2016), AMI’s analysis suggests that overall the number of moulding sites in Europe will be further reduced by another 2% by 2018 as moulders continue to struggle against a number of problems, particularly 'original equipment manufacturer' price pressures. Our aim to meet this global problem is to develop our novel injection moulding solution, which will aim to: • Reduce cycle time by 50%; • Reduce energy usage by 33% through reduced heating/cooling; • Increase machine productivity by 100%
