When processing engineering plastics, uneven drying can lead to defects, compromised structural integrity, and inconsistent final product performance. Traditional drying methods often rely on ambient heat or simple forced ventilation systems that do not provide consistent results, especially when processing complex engineering plastics. Variations in moisture content and temperature fluctuations can lead to uneven drying,… Continue reading How to Solve Uneven Drying in Injection Molding with a Dehumidifying Dryer？

The EU Sustainable Development Directive aims to reduce environmental impact by encouraging the use of environmentally friendly materials and processes. For the plastics industry, this means a shift from traditional materials to advanced thermosets and thermoplastics that are lighter, stronger, and more recyclable. Therefore, plastic manufacturers in the European region are under pressure to innovate… Continue reading How do EU sustainability regulations affect the choice of plastic molding machines?

In injection molding operations that require high speed and high precision, these injection robots are prone to torque overloads – that is, the torque applied during operation exceeds the preset value. This situation can cause a series of safety issues, including potential damage to the mold, ejector pins, and even the final product itself. The… Continue reading How can we improve the safety of the injection robot during operation?

In the clamping unit of a plastic injection molding machine, tie rods are responsible for holding the two halves of the mold together under high clamping forces. However, the friction generated by continuous motion and the necessity for lubrication can cause the coring rods to be overstressed and eventually fail, which occurs when excessive friction… Continue reading How to avoid the strain on the plastic injection molding machine?

Injection molding plants across North America often face high energy costs when using water chillers. Some traditional water chillers are inefficient, resulting in a surge in operating expenses. In addition, hard water in some parts of North America (such as the Great Lakes) causes scale accumulation that results in a 20%-30% drop in heat transfer… Continue reading Improving injection molding performance at North American sites with Topstar’s water chiller solutions

Intelligent manufacturing is the development trend of the manufacturing industry, and the cornerstone of Topstar’s smart manufacturing strategy is the concept of open injection molding machine control systems. Traditional injection molding machine usually operate as isolated units with limited interaction between components and minimal flexibility in adapting to different production requirements. At Topstar, we have… Continue reading How to use Topstar injection molding machine to realize smart manufacturing technology?

Plastics manufacturers in North America evaluate mould temperature controllers based on their ability to maintain stable temperatures during voltage fluctuations and ambient temperature changes. This level of stability is critical to avoiding product warping or shrinkage, which can lead to costly defects and production downtime. At the same time, they also require accuracy and long-term… Continue reading Why do North American manufacturers choose Topstar mould temperature controllers for temperature control?
