Gas Assist Injection MoldingProduct Details
We manufacture turnkey systems for the gas assist molding. Our Gas Assist Systems are offered in various sizes and design for adapting a single injection molding machine to gas assist or incorporating an entire plant. By combining a centrally located Nitrogen Generator (SNG) with remote Nitrogen Control Units (NCU), a coordinated plant wide system can be designed with the flexibility to use gas assist on any press at any time
Gas Assist Injection Molding is a low-pressure process utilizing nitrogen gas to apply uniform pressure throughout the molded plastic part. By displacing molten plastic from thicker sections of the part toward areas in the cavity that are last to fill, nitrogen gas pressure creates channels within the part. Through the gas channels, pressure is transmitted evenly across the part; eliminating warpage, sink marks and internal stress. As a result, clamp tonnage, cycle time and part weight is significantly reduced, while increasing the strength and rigidity of the part.
Gas Assist injection Molding allows molders the freedom to design plastic parts without the restrictions and limitations inherent to conventional molding. Thin wall parts within heavy ribs, bosses and gussets are formed to high standards of flatness without sink marks or long cycle times. Long shapes are produced without multiple drops or hot runner systems, eliminating knit lines and lowering tooling costs. Multiple parts with complex design and differing wall thickness are molded as a single part without defect. Clamp tonnage requirements are dramatically reduced by 50% or more in most gas assist applications.
