![]() Conventionally processing highly variable regrind can generate significant scrap as well as result in low repeatability, unbalanced tools, defects and downtime. In conventional injection molding, a predetermined amount of material is injected at a fixed velocity to a set transfer location, with no allowance for material variability. Historically, processing recycled resins has been a challenge for the injection molding industry. This ability to adapt to material variation is known as autoviscosity adjust within the Imflux software. Imflux, a low, constant pressure molding technology, is designed to automatically adjust to material variability to maintain part quality. ![]() ![]() Oftentimes, as recycled content increases, injection molded part quality can decrease because of material variability. The company is partnering with machine and resin manufacturers and mold makers to incorporate its low-pressure injection molding technology. ![]() As pressure builds for the industry to increase the amount of recycled plastics used in manufacturing, Imflux, a company based in Hamilton, Ohio, is helping to make this possible for injection molders. The plastics industry continues to seek solutions to help it meet circular economy demands.
