Case Study
Mold Retrofit Dramatically Improves Part Quality, Productivity Accurate Mold & Plastics Corporation of Nixa, Missouri had a problem. Faced with molding small thermoplastic urethane (TPU) grommets for a leading consumer goods manufacturer, they had a 16-cavity hot runner mold with problems so severe that according to the company’s General Manager, making parts from 10 out of the 16 cavities was the best they could do. “TPU is a challenging material for a hot runner, and the system we had was a hot tip system designed to gate directly onto the part surface,” he said. “The problem was the gates were very small, and the pressure was very high – which resulted in non-uniform fill.” |
