How We Reduce Scrap Metal In the Injection Molding Process
Injection molding is a cost-effective manufacturing method that involves the production of parts in large volumes. It is used in mass production processes that involve the consistent production of identical parts. If the proper steps are not taken, this production process has the potential to result in large amounts of scrap that could amount to waste in landfills and a large carbon footprint.
Production Scrap
The injection molding process does not produce large amounts of waste per unit. The scrap produced from the injection mold cycle can come from the sprue, runners, and molten plastic overflow from the part's cavity. However, if you have the a consistent and validated molding process, you can bring that waste down to 0%.
How We Aim To Reduce Scrap
The following are the various ways we aim to reduce scrap in the injection molding process:
- Recycling: Recycling scrap is one of our sustainable policies to reduce the cost of production and protect the environment.
- Manufacturing Optimization: Defects can be costly in manufacturing. Therefore we have to ensure that the production of defective parts in the manufacturing process is reduced by taking the right measures. For instance, using proper tooling design and software for refining part designs. This ensures the manufactured components are well designed before mass production. An optimized manufacturing process is cost-effective in the long run.
- Molding Process: We ensure that all jobs have a consistent and validated process. Therefore if there is any waste in the process, it is predictable and can be properly reused and recycled. However, a strong manufacturing process will significantly minimize waste in the production process, and will lead to an efficient and sustainable manufacturing system.
