Downsize / Upsize Conversions

Does your injection unit provide you with the correct amount of plastic material? If you're not sure, SFP's Engineering design team can quickly determine whether Downsizing or Upsizing could save you money. When Downsizing or Upsizing is needed, Services for Plastics, Inc. is able to help by re-designing the injection unit of the molding machine to produce the appropriate amount of output for your specific application.

The following example will help determine if a Downsize / Upsize Conversion could save you time and money.

The standard "rule-of-thumb" for an injection unit utilization is between 30% - 70% of the total stroke distance. If you are using less than 30% of the stroke distance, your residence time for the plastic may be too long. In addition, if using more than 70%, you may have to plasticize at too high of a rate over shearing material which will prematurely wear out the injection unit components.

Thermoplastic / Thermoset Conversions

Many molders are entering into new frontiers for their perspective businesses. Molders used to be categorized as either thermoplastic or thermoset molders. With today's changing economy and competitive markets, it is necessary for molders to become more flexible in order to meet the demands of their customers. SFP's Engineering design team can help you meet these challenges. Our team of full-time design engineers are experts in both thermoplastic and thermoset injection unit design.
