Injection moulding of thermoplastics

Abstract

This Energy Consumption Guide is aimed at those companies in the plastics processing industry that use the injection moulding process. About 2,000 such companies exist. The objectives of this guide are: to provide injection moulding companies with an up-to-date and representative picture of energy usage per kg of thermoplastic polymer moulded, the specific energy consumption (SEC); to review the process and suggest an achievable practical minimum SEC; and to list a set of cost effective measures that will enable companies to reduce SECs without degrading the quality of their products or the throughput of their process. To achieve these objectives, an advisory panel was formed and a number of companies were visited. Also, a questionnaire was mailed to 1,400 companies listed as injection moulders of thermoplastics.
